Portugal is so lucky. If the referee would've given 3 extra mins instead of 5mins, USA would have had that win.

That referee was on Portugal side I tell ya.

Can someone explain these things to me?

Wasn't he offsides on the last goal?
Why was the extra time disposed of? Or does a game only last 90 mins?
Why are there ties?

Thats football for you.

95th minute goal to kick you right in the bollocks.



                            

For eff sake, we're still playing badly as hell. Coupled with that, we're on a frigging bad luck streak with injuries and some dubious referee decisions.

Honestly, it would have been better if we had just lost the match. We're not going through anyway..

Klinsmann needs a favour from his fellow Germans for the USA to go through.

Ghana will beat Portugal. Ghana are getting better, the Portuguese are getting worse.

A lame 0-0 between Germany and the USA and both would advance.

Neh.. Can't see that happening.. Even if germany would play their B team they'll destroy the USA

Yeah, they would usually destroy them, but not with Klose, Schweinsteiger, Schürrle and Podolski as substitutes and Lahm as midfielder.



This group is intense. All teams have a chance (Portugal albeit small) to pass to the next round. 

USA has been playing really good, but I don't think they will beat Germany and Ghana will (most likely) defeat Portugal based on their performance.

It will all come down to the goal difference, but I think Germany and Ghana will be ones who will go to the next round.

He wasn't, games can last way longer than 90 minutes, group play.



All USA needs is Portugal to tie or beat Ghana, and they're in. It would take a miracle for Portugal to leapfrog US. Of course US can control their own destiny as well.
