I would be soooo happy if that is true!

Grrrrrrrrr. As soon as I turn that snooze of a game off, Germany scores. I think they do better when I'm not watching.


Then a streaker

Then Ghana scores. All in the 5 min after I turned the TV off.

That's your fault, who turns off the TV 5 mins before the match ends??

What a DRAW!!! USA was 30 seconds close to defy all odds and become the 1rst team to classify on their group. Sadly Portugal scored their 2nd goal 30 freaking seconds before the match ended making it a Draw!

Now USA have to win or draw against Germany to pass!!

USA can lose to Germany and still advance, even if Ghana wins. Portugal is all but out as their goal differential disadvantage is extreme (-4).

First tiebreaker is GD. If USA lose by one and Ghana win by one, they are still tied.
Second tiebreaker is Goals For. If USA scores one less goal than Ghana in their final game, they are still tied.
Third tiebreaker is the record between the two teams. USA beat Ghana.

So I do need to cheer for a big German win and a big Ghanian win.

What are you talking about? You're confused.

GER 4 (+4)
USA 4 (+1)
GHA 1 (-1)
POR 1 (-4)

There are only 2 matches left: USA vs Germany. And Ghana vs Portugal.

USA need to WIN against Germany or make it a DRAW to pass to the second round.
If USA lose, you dont want Ghana to win for a big difference of goals, quite the opposite...

Oh wait, unless you want USA to lose.

My point is that USA can lose and still advance.

And yes, I do hope that the USA does not advance.

Uruguay pass - Italy is eliminated!

Suarez is gonzo. I originally was cheering for Uruguay, until he decided to gnaw on the shoulder of the Italian defender. Was a shame Suarez was not kicked out at that moment.

Still tho, Hup Holland Hup!!!

Are you kiddding? No, he wasn't kicked out of the match, he was kicked out of the whole World cup! And got a 4 months ban. Hes already in Uruguay. But this is football not a match for little girls, the FIFA punishment was a big exaggeration. A clear proof of double standards.
