71. If Portugal - Ghana doesn't produce a winner...

...The US will advance regardless (4 pts vs 2 pts). Portugal have a maximum of 4 points, which the US already have, in which case it would come down to goal difference if they beat Ghana and the US loses. Remember Portugal have a terrible goal difference.

If Portugal beats Ghana by anything but a huge margin, the US would advance even with a small loss to Germany. A big Ghana victory against Portugal would be the worst thing that could happen, but even then a draw will suffice for the US (and Germany would win the group)

The US just needs to avoid losing to Germany Ron Obvious Jun 2014 #44

Easier said that done. They are one of the best teams there. BainsBane Jun 2014 #70

I agree...while we have a fine spirit and good playing, soccer isn't yet ingrained CTyankee Jun 2014 #96

Even if the US is defeated and Portugal wins, they still have bad goal difference jakeXT Jun 2014 #77
