Goes by number of goals scored.




If the U.S. loses to Germany, then it would all depend on what happened in the Ghana-Portugal game, and the Americans would have to rely on goal difference. As of right now, the U.S. have a +1 goal difference, two better than Ghana’s -1 and five better than Portugal’s -4.

If the U.S. loses to Germany, they will be hoping that Portugal beats Ghana by a small margin, with the Americans not giving up too many goals to Germany.

If, by some chance, the U.S. loses to Germany and is tied with Ghana or Portugal in goal difference, the next tiebreaker is total goals scored. The U.S. scored 4 goals in the first two games. Ghana has scored 3; Portugal has scored 2.

I fell alsleep right after each team was allotted a water break (0-1). Woke up and it was 2-1 US just to witness that final kick. What a heartbreaker after coming back and being within seconds of advancing to the next round.

I noticed that sub took so long and to top it off Howard wasn't even ready to kickoff! He was still walking with the ball after all that sub time.

[emoji]128553[/emoji][emoji]128553[/emoji] took a while to get over that but damn. Bradley literally could've kicked the ball as hard as he could toward Tim Howard, the portugal goal, the sideline, the corner,fallen down :lol: and that wouldn't happen. That US Germany snooze fest 0-0 draw tho [emoji]128526[/emoji]
 
You could fake an injury? Just kick the ball into the stands? Just stayed back on D knowing they had to go for the score with 29 seconds left?

:rofl:

:smh:
 
Upset at Cameron a little more than Bradley tbh. That first goal and not marking Varela at the end.

Yeah that's what's gonna happen. I don't get people saying they'll be investigated :lol: both teams have a clear shot through with a tie, you can make a soccer match need in a tie without it being suspicious.

Plus what does Germany or the USA owe Ghana or Portugal? If Portugal don't get mollywhopped by Germany they wouldn't be in this position and if Ghana defended one last set piece they wouldn't either. They made their own bed, you can't let your hope ride on another team and then cry sour grapes after te fact. Us and Germany both have injured players, why risk more when you'll have another round to go? Just the smart move to tie. This isn't on some Luis Suarez hand ball goal line block stuff.

same thing happened to the women in 2011 against Japan

faking injuries and slow subs sometimes adds extra time to extra time :smh:

I don't see why people hype Bradley up either. He loses the ball a lot and seems out of shape and reluctant to help on defense.
 
Bradley is so overrated man. On any other country thats even somewhat average hes a sub imo
