Portugal needs to win big and they need the US to lose big. Remember, they are looking at -4 GD because of their loss to Germany.

If Ghana beats Portugal don't we advance?

No, not necessarily. Depends on how much they win by and how we do (goal/win/draw-wise)

I'm no expert...
but yes we would. That is unless Ghana beat Portugal by +2 goals. Amirite?

so head to head vs ghana would not count?

So suddenly we're all Portugal fans. They win or draw and we're through.
Incredible that head to head doesnt figure in. We could tie with Ghana in points and have them advance on goal differential.

Are there rules about Germany and USA making sure there is a tie?

Yes. It's called match-fixing, and would be very bad if proved.

Nope. GD then H2H.

Yeah if Zusi does run hard the whole game they keep adding minutes until Germany scores.

GD then GF then H2H then drawing of lots

Why can't the US and Germany intentionally draw and both advance with 5 points each?
Posted on 6/22/14 at 7:59 pm to TN_Tigers
regardless of whether we end up 1st or 2nd, we can beat Belgium or Algeria, hands down. Those teams have looked like shite.

Like I said. At least you edited your post to make it clearer for the slow ones here.

Klinsmann said US would not agree to tie Germany even if it was offered, would go against teams personality/legacy.

Because we'd both be banned.
