USA vs Germany
Game Time: Thursday 12 p.m. ET on ESPN Oh Boy, this is gonna be a good one!!! Jun 25 14 10:02 pm Link If the US can pull off a tie that's more than enough to get through. Univision announcers do a better job than ESPN at announcing especially when El Perro Bermúdez does the talking, he usually announces on US games lol Jun 25 14 10:18 pm Link Jun 25 14 11:26 pm Link Sorry dave. but i'm rooting for my team Deutschland!! Jun 25 14 11:28 pm Link I really want you guys to go through though! For those who don't know, here are the scenarios for you to go forward. -Germany & USA ties. You go through at 2nd Place following Germany at 1st -Ghana & Portugal tie. USA & Germany go through, 1st & 2nd depending on the outcome of the game. -USA wins. USA go through at 1st Place, Germany 2nd providing that Ghana or Portugal don't make up the goal difference. (Ghana needs 5 points, Portugal Needs 9) -Germany wins. USA may go through but this one is dependant on the other game and how much USA lost by and how much the other team won with. Ghana wins with a 1 point differential -> USA goes through. Ghana wins & makes up the 2 point differential -> USA goes through for beating for beating them previously. Ghana wins & with 3 or more point differential -> Ghana goes through Portugal wins but only makes 4 or less points differential -> USA goes through Portugal wins & makes up the 5 point differential -> Portugal goes through because they have scored more goals Portugal wins & makes up the 6 point differential -> Portugal definitely goes through Here is a really good link to show your chances of going through. It's on at 75% [link] http://fivethirtyeight.com/interactives/world-cup/ [/link] Jun 26 14 12:23 am Link I read that the experts give the US a 76% chance of advancing. I hope they simply go out and beat Germany and prove they deserve to advance and send a statement at the same time. They played very well against Portugal and deserved to win that game. I've never used the words "heartbreaking draw" before but that's exactly what the result was after Portugal's heroics with just seconds to play. GO USA! Jun 26 14 12:39 am Link Hey guys. The games here in NZ is on at 4 in the morning. Now is that too early to start drinking? I have been feeling stink that I"m watching a Germany game without having a beer. I mean if i stay up all night, technically i've just been having a really good night no? haha but if i sleep and wake up, then that means its morning. good logic? Jun 26 14 01:41 am Link We took our eye off the prize in the final seconds of the Portugal game. Jun 26 14 04:26 am Link About 2 hours before game time. Weather is a jungle downpour. News reporting streets becoming impassible near stadium. Might be tuff to score. Football gods smiling on US. Go USA!
