We have about a 20% chance of making it out this group.
With that being said, we owe Ghana and I ain't scared of Portugal. That Portugal team has been one of the most underachieving teams when it comes to the WC. The absolute worst case scenario is losing our first match and Portugal beating or getting a point on a tie against Germany. The best case as some have pointed out is us and Germany being locked into the knockout round before we play each other in the last pool match. We don't want to be in a situation where we need a point against Germany or god forbid a win to secure a knockout birth.

The thing with this draw is that we didn't get three or so worst/lesser teams in any of the pots.
I would much rather Portugal than France, Italy, Netherlands, etc.
Obviously we believe we got the toughest or second toughest African team.
Germany is one of the four favorites for the title.
Portugal was middle of the group in terms of difficulty, imo.
I just happen to think Portugal and their speed/strength outside will be problem for us. Defend it well, we should tie or win.
