not so fast....we can beat Ghana, draw/beat Portugal...as long as we just stop Ronaldo = advance to the knockout stage. I am optimistic about our chances to advance. The experts have us at 39% chance/Portugal a 40% chance to advance.
Sure they can, and I'll be watching hoping they do. They need to beat Ghana by 2 or 3 to have a good chance at advancing on goal difference with a tie breaker, if they can draw either Germany or Portugal. Of course, winning two would get them through but that's going to be tough. Portugal and Germany are two of the top teams in the world and Ghana plays USA really tough. They've eliminated USA the last two world cups. This group should be fun.
