The U.S. national team goes into Thursday's Group E finale against Ghana (9:55 a.m. ET, ESPN) knowing that it must come up with a win to have any chance of moving to the Round of 16.
All four teams in Group E, including the USA, still have a chance to advance. The U.S. must beat a tough Ghana side to have any chance of moving to the knockout phase. Should Bruce Arena's team be able to secure three points against the Africans, whom they meet at 9:55 a.m. ET on ESPN, they will need Italy to beat the Czech Republic in a simultaneous match, which can be seen live on ESPN2. The U.S. is not mathematically eliminated with a Czech draw or win, but will need a big victory over Ghana to avoid being eliminated on goal difference.

I think he's in. Just a little bruise, I hope.

That should have been a foul not a goal. And the two yellow cards we got were bogus. Basically they are giving us yellow cards just for being on the field. One for having an arm attached to the body, when the ball obviously could not be avoided. And another for not being able to disappear into thin air when standing in defense. Meanwhile Ghana gets a whistle and no flag for hacking our guy.
USA always has to beat more then just the other team on the field. It can still be done!

Italy beating the Czech Republic is great for the US.
Now all the US has to do is score 2 goals, and prevent Ghana from scoring any other goals.
To: Eurotwit
I didn't think so either...

Because he's sleeping with the fishes. Oops, no wait, that was Luca Brasi.
