US SOCCER

[tribe_pride]

A tie would be good for Murica, right?

Would be ok. Win for Germany better for our advancement shots as it would almost eliminate Ghana.

A tie would be good for Murica, right?

Only if we win tomorrow.

In reality, we can control our own destiny. A draw here and a USA win gives us the upper hand if we draw Germany.

For winning group yes... Advancing it's good

A tie would be good for Murica, right?

Much much better than a Ghana win.

Gives US a chance at winning the group but keeps Ghana far enough back to stay out of contention. Especially if US can at least draw Portugal tomorrow


If US can draw Portugal all it would need is to lose to Germany by less than 4 to advance

Not quite because the assumption there is Portugal would then beat Ghana and we would need to know the score in that game to know differences in goal differential and goals for.

Go darkies!

Huh? I you're a fan of the US you want the Germans to win. I'm rooting for Germany for 3 reasons:
-helps US
-German girlfriend
-German ancestry (well, only 1/8th).

portugal is -4 right now and US +1. That's a 5 goal differential that Portugal has to make up inthe final match if tomorrow is a draw

[Seahawks08]

That was an excellent half of football! Very entertaining.

I disagree. Best scenario for Ghana is:

US lose to Portugal
Ghana beat Portugal
Germany beats the US

The other scenarios will leave them to the mercy of goal difference and goals scored tiebreakers.

I agree I wish that Ghana had won the game increased their chances of staying alive.

Unless you are from Ghana there is no "we" It's just you by your traitorous self....

True, beyond #1 (German win would have helped US). Then again, most stuff posted on here no one cares about..

You are right, German win would have been better for US.

Right now US advances with win tomorrow.

If we draw to tomorrow then we advance with:
-win or tie against Germany
-loss to Germany and Portugal/Ghana ends in tie
-loss to Germany and Portugal beats Ghana but doesn't make up 5 goal differential
-If we lose to Germany by 1 goal and Ghana beats Portugal by 1 goal then we tie with Ghana in points and goal differential. I think the next tie break is goals scored.

Bosnia just got screwed out of a goal

Admit it. None of you really know what's going on do you?

Big time.

Now they are down 1-0. A loss and they are eliminated from advancing.

I do. Long time follower. Also used to coach. I'm no expert, but I know what I am watching.

I will root for them in another 4yrs in Moscow hope we get another shot at Uncle Sam!!!

It's really a pretty simple sport. Even your average Walmart shopper could figure it out if they had the attention span to watch it for more than 5 minutes.
