I’m hoping for a narrow Portugal win or a draw. That way it won’t matter if we lose to Germans. We could lose 150-0 and still go to 1/16.

Ghana kicked out 2 of its best players from the team few hours ago. 1 striker (Kevin Prince Boateng) and a very skilled midfielder. Ghana win is not good for USA because the goal differential is too close. Portugal has to make up 5 goals.

Why did Ghana kick them off?
More inner-fighting?

A narrow Portugal win, plus a blow out against the USA will send the USA home. The combined goal differential of the two games, however, has to equal six.

You're correct about the Portugal-Ghana draw. If that happens, the USA could lose by any number and it wouldn't matter.
