US - 2, Ghana 1. Maybe just as important for us advancing is Germany-Portugal at 11:00 this morning. We could really use a 2-0 (or greater) Germany victory. I think our best chance to advance is to beat Ghana, tie Portugal, then face a Germany team that has already pretty much clinched the #1 spot in our group and managing to beat Portugal on goal differential.
1-1 draw. I've got a bad feeling about this game. Both teams need to win in order to have a chance to advance and I think that Ghana and the US will draw and then lose to Germany and Portugal.
1-1 I think the teams are pretty even. Ghana does have some injuries so we will see if that comes into play. We really need to win it 2-0 but I don't see it happening.
Ghana has the population of Texas and the GDP of South Dakota...
And they own us in soccer.
Ghana wins 2-1 today, effectively ending any chance for the US to advance out of the Group of Death, and Soccer takes its typical 4 year vacation from the mainstream US Sports consciousness.
Portugal player Pepe got a Red Card in the game? Does he have to sit out next game ... against us on Sunday? Does Portugal have to play Sunday game down a player?
Pepe will be suspended for the USA-Portugal game. They can still play with 11 though. You only play a man down for the rest of that match, not the next one too. There have been a few really stupid red cards already in this World Cup.
