We need the Czechs to win out, we control our destiny against Italy and Ghana, that's all that matters now. The fewer points for those two teams, the better.
Of course, it's moot if the US doesn't play better.
"We need the Czechs to win out, we control our destiny against Italy and Ghana, that's all that matters now. The fewer points for those two teams, the better."
Understood.
However my scenario works like this:
US beats Italy (which is usually a low scoring team) and Ghana. And Italy beats the Czechs and Ghana. And the Czechs lose to Ghana. Thereby putting the US and Italy through.
I come with this scenario on these grounds:
1. Czechs now have many yellow cards (from our destiny of having played them).
2. Czechs two strikers now look out on injury. (again one from our destiny of having played them).
3. Czech players are old.
4. The %$§&'s who beat us 3-0 in a World Cup match get shoved off to history ASAP.
Revenge is a dish best served in the World Cup, and when the Czechs go down I will be laughing at their "victory" over us.
