The more I think about it, the more I cannot understand why: -Beckerman doesn't haul William down immediately -Why is Beckerman there and not off to the left? -Where is Jones? -Why is CR7 in that much space late? -Why are all 5 defenders on the field that far forward, to the point where you let a guy behind you? I dunno. If they scored because someone outjumped one of the CB's, its a lot easier to take. But we played the stoppage time extremely naive, and paid a price for our lack of tactical nous and general lack of composure late.

You need to see the second half. They were a lot better than Germany, and Portugal aren't that good. The only thing there that might help is that Muntari is missing that game due to yellow card accumulation. Maybe a more complete thought is that it seems pretty dissonant to both consider Germany sure to roll us and for Ghana to be sure to crush Portugal, especially with the respective stakes for each team. Individually I'd slightly favor Ghana and favor Germany by a little more, but we're a 75% favorite to advance for a reason too. I'm rating Germany to roll us because they have an extra day of rest, and they were better than us anyway, and I'd bet on some sort of hangover from the letdown tonight. Also, the fact that Jones, Bradley, Beckerman and Dempsey have played 716 of 720 minutes so far is bound to catch up at some point. The sensitivity over the 1982 debacle, and the desire to appear they aren't conspiring for a draw is going to turn into a 2-0, 3-1 loss. I'm rating Ghana to beat Portugal because they have an extra day of rest, a better midfield, and Portugal still have no Coentrao, and a bad defense. I don't trust 538's numbers as far as I can thrown them.

Its one thing to expect Germany to play for a draw if its tied at the 60th, 65th minute. Its another to think they'll come out flat again, or play to a gentleman's draw. Them coming out like garbage yesterday hurt, but blowing a win like we did tonight is a killer blow. Now they have an extra day of rest and didn't play in the Amazon. We're screwed, barring a draw between GHA and POR.
-
Not good news at all, since their defense blows and Ghana will probably crush them.
-
Well, yeah, because we would have advanced. This is the scenario we needed to avoid. We need a result against Germany, because Ghana are going to beat the [expletive] out of Portugal.
-
In a normal game, that would be 4 minutes. The problem I have is the variance between the halves. The 1st half has Meireles acting like a bitch and a water break, and gets 2 minutes. The second half has 4 minutes turning into 5 based on 1 sub.

4 years ago, with Brazil and Portugal. I'm so pissed. I do not understand how, protecting a lead, we get beat on basically a counterattacking header.
-
wtf are we going to do thursday?!?!??! I took the day off. Me too.
-
The two longest stoppage times in the tournament both came against us. 6 minutes against Ghana, 5 [expletive] minutes today.
-
All Bradley has to do is either boot the ball into the stands, or haul William down. He does neither.
-
What [expletive] horseshit.
-
This feels like a loss. As much as I want to think Germany and we will play to a nice, dull draw, I cannot help but believe Ghana is going to beat the [expletive] out of Portugal.
-
GO TO GAM THREAD No, he's not wrong there. 5 minutes was a [expletive] joke.
-
This.
-
That was [expletive] horseshit. 5 minutes of stoppage was [expletive] horseshit.
-
[expletive] Michael Bradley.
-
5 Minutes stoppage is [expletive].
-
The jinx is coming on.
-
Be smart now. Kill the game.
