re: Will Portugal game cause US to come out flat or dominant against Germany?

they have like a 99.7% chance of advancing...

I think both teams play very defensively and timid, knowing just a tie gets them both through. I say it ends in 0-0 or 1-1 tie.

The Portugal-Ghana game is more likely to be high scoring since both teams need lots of goals. But I think Portugal comes away with the win. They need something to salvage from this world cup and are playing for just that.
