The good thing is: A Ghana win, a draw with Germany, a draw with Portugal and we go through. We're still in good shape.


Except that whole draw against Germany. I doubt they mail it in again.

As long as Portugal doesn't beat Ghana by four, we're through.

We can lose to Germany and still get through, we won the tie-break with Ghana.

United States Win vs. Germany
Ghana Win vs. Portugal
United States Draw vs. Germany
Portugal Draw vs. Ghana.

Even if we lose -- Ghana can't go through. They have 1 point, we have 4 now.

The only way we don't go is if Portugal beats Ghana by more than 4 scores.

We have a tiebreak over Ghana.

Would we not advance if Ghana and Portugal draw?

Germany 4 pts

US draws against Germany, advances

US loses to Germany & Portugal wins...US has 5 GD that Portugal would have to overcome


US loses to Germany, Ghana wins....US has win head to head

Except you didn't because you're hung up on people getting excited about beating Ghana who has had our number for years.

What an abortion. All around. Screwed up cable and screwed up ending. U.S. needed Aaron Harrison on the pitch for that last 20 seconds or so.....

Sorry, Portugal has to beat Ghana by 5. We have a +1 differential.

Okay... so it's really not that bad. It feels like it due to the nature of the loss, but we're definitely in good position
