2nd grade mode....on....

 

There's a guy on the Germany team named Hans-Jörg Butt.

 

:lol:

Somebody wasn't watching UEFA Champions League soccer this season. ;)

Halftime scoreless in both group D matches, which really is the worst-case scenario for the US, as two ties puts Germany second and results in them facing the US team.

Still just takes one goal in either game to change everything.

Guilty.

Well, unless Australia scores it... ;) (Well, AUS would finish 3rd with SER 4th, but it's still GHA-GER 1-2)

[CubInOK]

Germany doesn't really look like they want to win this game.

Nice finish by Ozil

[Mark Priors Calves]

That goal makes this interesting.

[Guest]

If this result holds, we would get Ghana.

[CubInOK]

Great shot Ozil. Now Die Mannschaft needs to keep this lead.

 

Ghana had a good chance almost immediately afterward.

[UMFan83]

OK, either make the results the exact same as they are right now, or ideally have Australia score here please.

[Guest]

Cahill scores for Australia. If Serbia gets a goal now they'd be all even with Ghana on all tiebreakers.

[Banedon]

Goal Australia!

[Mark Priors Calves]

WOW.

[Mark Priors Calves]

so what does australia need to do to advance now?

[Banedon]

Ha..go Australia....2 more.

[Guest]

2-0 Australia now.

 

See you later Serbia.

 

Australia now at -2 (3 GF, 5 GA)

Ghana now at 0 (2 GF, 2 GA)

 

Any combination of two Australia goals scored or two Ghana goals allowed sends Australia on.

[Banedon]

so what does australia need to do to advance now?

 

2 more goals makes them even in goal differential and goals scored with Ghana...but Ghana still has fewer goals allowed...not sure if that's part of the tiebreaker.

 

Really there's not much chance for Australia unless Ghana comes back to win.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

so what does australia need to do to advance now?

 

They need their goal differential vs. Ghana's to swing by at least two more. Maybe three.

[Mark Priors Calves]

thanks guys.

[CubInOK]

I'd REALLY like Germany to score again.

[Banedon]

Goal for Serbia. That probably does in Australia remote chances.

[Jon]

Wow. Barely offsides on the potential equalizer for Serbia.

[Guest]

2-0 Australia now.

 

See you later Serbia.

 

Australia now at -2 (3 GF, 5 GA)

Ghana now at 0 (2 GF, 2 GA)

 

Any combination of two Australia goals scored or two Ghana goals allowed sends Australia on.

 

I take that back.

 

With another goal, Serbia advances on goals scored.

 

Serbia at -1 (2 GF, 3 GA)

Ghana at 0 (2 GF, 2 GA)

Australia at -3 (3 GF, 6 GA)

[Banedon]

I admit, I kind of like figuring out all the possibilities in the group round results...heh.

[Banedon]

Ghana it is.
