So if Germany and Ghana win 1-0, then our head-to-head *is* the decider.

[Guest]

Welp my night is ruined.

 

100% convinced Germany and Ghana both win on Thursday.

[UMFan83]

So many scenarios at play

 

Germany 4 pts +4

USA 4 pts +1

Ghana 1 -1

Portugal 1 -4

 

Man this is heartbreaking. I can't even watch the post game despite getting what I was hoping for coming in.

 

[expletive] why did this happen?

[shnsajax]

If you told me a week ago we would have 4 points heading into Germany I would have been happy.

[Guest]

Hey Yogi, we won't score if you won't. Deal?

[Guest]

I don't even know what to think right now, crazy ass game terrible 30 seconds.

 

Those teams were both so gassed at the end of the match, Michael Bradley just needed one good touch to end it.

Germany has an extra day or rest and didn't have to play in the jungle and they need points. Worst case scenario.

Almost. The saving grace is that we may not have to win.

Arbitrary stoppage time is the biggest joke in pro sports

No, he's not wrong there. 5 minutes was a [expletive] joke.

I wasn't responding to a singular post, and while 5 minutes was dumb, that's not quite what was being said.

If it's not based on actual stoppage time (and people are shocked by the number of minutes chosen), then it's arbitrary, thus stupid

You could explain why I'm wrong, or you can be an ass. I see you've chosen the latter (again)

So what needs to happen for us to advance? Still a good chance for it to happen correct?

[wolf stansson]

I feel a little "Landon in '06" about Mike Bradley right now.

Win or draw, or some help with a loss

[SpongeWorthy]

TT thinks soccer is unimpeachable and how dare you cast aspersions

[bukie]

Win or draw and they advance.

 

Loss and they advance if a Portugal win and USA loss net fewer than 5 goal difference, or if US lose by 1 and Ghana win by 1 and Ghana doesn't score more than 1 more goal than US.

That's not his point. This isn't the place to troll people who really care. Go to the thread where no one cares.

 

 

Went ahead and put the advance options in my sig.

What's the help we need? Non blowout portugal win or a 1 goal ghana win?

come on we all know the biggest joke in pro sports is the nba

I know very little about soccer, let alone how to properly evaluate guys, but watching the first 2 games Bradley seems like he sucks.

Troll? Lol, ok

Yeah still a very good not quite great chance. There are many scenarios that get us through, not as many that eliminate us

Hint: when you resort to calling TT an ass, you're in the wrong.
