I believe the US goes through. But so much could go bad. We royally f'd up that last minute vs. Portugal and should've went through already.

You think Team USA will make the top 16? Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard have been absolutely incredible.
They would have if they didn't utterly f up the last minute...The ESPN soccer index gives them a 76 percent chance. That's because if Portland beats Ghana, then USA has a great chance on goal differential because Portugal lost 0-4 to Germany. If Ghana gets a tie, then we need a more fair result. We're up a couple goals on them. So, we'd go through on a 1 or 2 goal loss even. But it's Germany. You never know when they'll open up a can of whoop ass. That's why it sucked when Germany tied with Ghana. They could've put this to bed. And cos Germany isn't qualified now, they won't be resting their starters. Tim Howard said he thinks we match up well with them. But they're a scary team; maybe, the best team at the tourney.
I think a tie at halftime would be ideal. Because both teams might play conservative from there. Because both teams go through on a tie for sure.
Also, the US go through on Ghana-Portugal tie no matter what.
