Goal for Portugal. Good. Now Ghana has to score at least 2 goals to have a chance to catch the US.

Is that if the US scores 0?

Depends. Basically, Ghana has to win and the US has to lose for Ghana to go to the next round. If the US is in a 0-0 draw, the US goes to the next round.

It was a self-goal by Ghana at that.

Ghana goal difference is now 3. And the US has scored more goals.

The US can lose and still go thru on goal difference depending on how bad they lose.

Game almost half-over, even if teams don’t collude for a draw, unless surival is really on the line, a team won’t have the same urgency to score.

USA 0 0 Germany

Yeah, but there is a massive goal differential there. Portugal would have to trounce Ghana and Germany would have to trounce us.

Portugal will have to really open it up on Ghana. They are thinking just that based on the number of crosses being sent into the box.

I don’t know why and I have never understood the fascination with him. I don’t want to be too harsh on the guy but there is a reason why he hasn’t done a lot over in the leagues in Europe.

The United States played well in that half.
