Americans wanting Ghana to beat Germany should be careful what they wish for...

If Portugal loses to USA tomorrow, they won't show up for Ghana next Thursday giving Ghana 6 points

We'd still go through because we beat them in the scenario you're describing.

 

[B-Dubs]

We've looked the more likely to score.

Stats mean shit without goals breh.

It looks like Germany's had more good chances though. Ghana's had a few good shots from distance, but without a mistake from the goalkeeper they aren't going to score that way.

 

[Acorn]

This is going to come up every time Müller doesn't score a hattrick, isn't it.

Seems dumb even if muller is killing it. You have 23 players with a bunch that won't get a minute and don't pick at least two strikers.

Who is cheering for Ghana? Its more tie vs win

Lots are cheering for Ghana because upsets are fun

Ghana is my team so I'm behind them all the way.

Goal differential is first then goal scores then head to head I thought

I ment the US fans

Stop waisting our time with random women.

I dont think they use head to head tiebreakers first but goal differential.. so still a scary thought.

Got your back.

 

[Afrikan]

Do any of Ghana's back defenders play in Europe?

edit- ok that John BOYE guy with the cool hair plays in France.

he has done well today.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Needs either Schürrle or Podolski to get thing moving.

I don't think you understand how much we love rooting for the underdog

Maybe through your glasses, but I think it's a tie in that regard. I think both teams haven't had 100%'s yet and Germany had the higher quantity of chances, but Ghana's were more dangerous.

Why do Latin American commentators scream GOOAAAAALLLLL everytime a goal is scored?

What if by tomorrow the US is leading this group? Imagine how crazy it will get.

Daniel Opare -Standard Liege
Jonathan Mensah - some French squad
Kwadwo asamoah - juventus (I think)

 

[JustHadToJoin]

Just want Ghana to win, to win back some respect for the Africans

 

[norinrad]

Ghana is playing to the death and by the time this game is over i promise you Germans will be the ones crying.

 

[B-Dubs]

If the US comes out on top of the group tomorrow then the rest of the world will declare soccer dead.

I'd rather not imagine it.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

GD is first tiebreaker.

If the US got a point out of that Germany match it wouldn't matter in that scenario, the US and Ghana are through (who would've thought that coming into the tournament)

But if Germany were to win, we'd have a three way tie with 6 points at the top and you have to play the GD game.

This is all getting ahead of ourselves though. Focus on Portugal for now.

 

[Toxi]

Surprised at no goals so far. What little I saw looked way more exciting than the last match.

People would be pissed if America won it, other than that nobody cares.

Unlike Portugal, Ghana haven't just flopped over and played dead

Fuck that. I am rooting for a 6-6 tie and brawl at the end. Wooooooo!

This is a fucking mess:

Unify everything already!!

 

[joshcryer]

Dammit, I want to root for Ghana but I also want the US to advance. Damn underdog appeal.

 

[kingkitty]

Germany pls no draw.

[mnz]

Just looked at the Germany squad....why is Klose the only out and out striker?

There are basically no great German strikers out there, Klose is 36 and the next best would probably be Kießling or Volland who are not that good.
But there are about 10 really good offensive midfielders. Just look at Schürrle, Podolski and Draxler on the bench, with Reus being injured. So that's what you do, take 1.5 strikers to the world cup.

This is a fucking mess:

Unify everything already!!

Germany has a long history of not being a united country, so that's what happens.

isn't that what Muller did to get awarded a penalty and get Pepe sent off?

For 14 year olds hopped up on Mountain Dew. Please don't pollute this thread with that kind of shit when there's a good game on.

They were having harmless fun, get fucking over yourself lol.

Muller's cuntishness doesn't excuse portugal's failure to show up

I just saw a NBC sports ad for the premier league. ESPN let them buy that? Or was it a cable ad?

The US won their group at the last world cup? 'Soccer' wasn't declared dead then either.

 

[B-Dubs]

Pepe got himself sent off for that headbutt, he wasn't sent off for the dive. If Pepe doesn't butt heads then he stays on, don't blame Muller for Pepe being a dipshit.

The US won their group at the last world cup? 'Soccer' wasn't declared dead then either.

It wasn't in a group with Germany and Portugal though, the 2010 group was EASY.

Well how fit is Cristiano Ronaldo for tomorrow's game? I mean that more or less determines what kind of chance the Crying Eagles have tomorrow...

They'll show up tomorrow don't you worry. Pork chops know how to cross a ball.
