I am thinking we want a Ghana win, and a US win. All 3 teams will be on 3 points then. With the future in our hands. A ghana draw, and a US win would accomplish the same. We will technically be alive with a draw in our game, but we really need 2 wins because of goal differential. I want Czechs to lose points, because it gives them incentive to beat Italy on the 22nd.

I want Ghana and the US in the 1/8 finals. But it ain´t gonna happen. The Czechs and the Azurros will make it through. Italy is a top favorite for the Cup, so it´ll be pretty hard for the US team.

K-Town (Kaiserslautern) is located near lots of US bases, and the stadium is expected to be full of "Amis". Maybe the "12th man" will help your boys. I hope so.

Pretty much sums it up.
Is that going to happen though? Not looking too likely at the moment. Italy are very hard to beat, and the Czechs looked very good against the US. Ghana will have to put in a herculean effort if they are to beat them.
But hey, we live in hope.
