Would four points (a draw against Portugal) get us through?
I thought we looked sloppy. It reminded me of old school USA soccer. Rather than controlling the ball on our own end and methodically moving we just seemed to be kicking the ball away and hoping for the best. It was survival rather than control mode. It was ugly but worked.
The left side of our D looks problematic.
Portugal is a better team than Ghana. Be lucky to steal a point. Not going to get scratch off of Germany.

Agreed. USA was lucky in my opinon to beat Ghana. They were not the better team.
Germany is a machine. Portugal melted down but I suspect they will show up. That said maybe they are a mental mess after that.
USA didn't play well at all. Maybe they bring a better game as well.
US needs to somehow beat Portugal, or tie at the worst, or everything is up for grabs.
Hopefully Ghana will want to save face, play spoiler, and beat Portugal......that's the best chance for the U.S.
I'm hoping that game is BEFORE the Germany/US game, need to check out the schedule.
ok I fell asleep during the iran game today. it was a yawner.
If Germany is already through to the knockout round by the time they play the US, they may not bring their A game.
USA did not look good, but they are still sitting pretty.
