USA still has a pretty big chance of being left out. If USA loses for a difference of more than 2 goals, or Ghana wins for a difference of more than 2 goals, USA is out. And based on Portugal performance this WC, Ghana can very well beat Portugal with more than 2 goals, and Germany is an extremely strong opponent, so losing to them can very well happen. 

I am not one to speculate so far. From what I have seen the odds are in the US's favor. Many claim the US and GErmany will purposely tie. So I am saying nothing more than the odds are most strongly in the US's favor against Port. and Ghana.

Yes, the odds are in favor of USA, but is not like Ghana has to do something ridiculous in order to advance; like I said, a difference of 2 goals will suffice Ghana (as long as USA loses their match). 

Portugal on the other hand is gone...unless they beat Ghana like 6-0  

We can beat Ghana by 2-0 and the USA lose their game by 3-0 and we go through

Any kind of combination that gives us a +5 goal recovery over the US would put us through the next round.....so yeah, we're gone
