US SOCCER

I like these refs. They are just laughing at the bullshit flops and guys who knock it out of bounds and point at the other team.

Howard with one helluva save.

Germans are not BSing for sure.

Yellow card on the US

So if Germany and Portugal win, who moves on beside Germany?

A stat:

In the first 10 minutes, Germany completed 108 passes; the US 12.

Damn - both Germany and Ghana score

The US needs one point to advance to the next round — a win is great, a draw would suffice. But if the Americans lose to Germany, things get a little murky. Even with a loss, they surely advance if Ghana-Portugal ends in a draw.

If one of those teams wins, it comes down to tiebreakers (both teams will have 4 points). The first tiebreaker is goal differential, and right now the US holds the edge in that category: US (+1), Ghana (-1), Portugal (-4). A lopsided Ghana victory likely spells elimination for Team USA.

If the US ends tied with another team in goal differential — say they lose by one and Ghana wins by a single goal, or they lose by two and Portugal wins by three — the next tiebreaker is goals scored, so US fans perhaps should be rooting for a high-scoring affair.

If there is a tie in that category as well, the next tiebreaker is head-to-head, where the US holds the edge on Ghana from their opening-match victory. Having tied Portugal, the next step in that tiebreaker is “drawing of lots,” essentially a coin flip.

Ghana scores for second time.

A tie in that game puts us in, right?

It's good to see that the Occupy crowd are still together and now attending soccer games outside the US.

[93henfan]

Germany with 11 second half shots to our 2. That's the spirit.

EDIT: No wait, that's the GAME. We have two shots all GAME.
