Noooooo!
We still have a good chance to advance, but a win would have clinched it.
Thursday we will know what our chances are right before the game against Germany. If Portugal and Ghana play to a draw, then we will advance regardless of the outcome of our game.
If Portugal or Ghana win, then they will be tied with us and probably be ahead on goal differential. (Since we only have a 1 Goal advantage).
If that’s the case, then we need to at least pull a draw against Germany to advance.
So our best option, honestly, is to see a draw in the first game.
“If Portugal or Ghana win, then they will be tied with us and probably be ahead on goal differential. (Since we only have a 1 Goal advantage).”
Portugal lost 4-0 to Germany; goal differential isn’t their friend.
Both the games in our group are played at the same time Thursday.
The games are played at the same time. No edge there.
