Sorry if Germans..if we were to lose by 1 and Ghana to win by 1, we still advance correct? GD would be even, but we go through on head to head win? Just making sure I understand this correctly.

Depends on how many goals Ghana score and how many we score. If goal differential is tied, the next tiebreaker is total goals scored. Right now, we've scored 4, Ghana has 3.

If we lose, we need to score goals.

Scariest scenario there is if Ghana wins 2-1, and we lose 1-0 - Ghana goes.

Tie breakers go:

1) Goal diff
2) Goals scored
3) Head to head
4) Some other stupid thing they do when they are out of options

Correct. GD would be even. Goals scored would also be even (assuming a 1-0 Ghana win and a 0-1 US loss). We go thru on head to head.

If we lose 0-1 and Ghana wins 2-0, we are fricked.
