The US-American team doesn't deserve to advance to the next round with traitors like Jones and Johnson.

No, if the US plays well than they deserve it. I have enjoyed watching the US (although I missed most of this game as I was playing RO2 with Baerke) and I would have liked them to go to the next round if not for Ghana. Both countries have played well but I'm giving Ghana the edge because they were unlucky against the US and they outclassed Germany in the second half. If the USA manages to get a good result against Germany then they've earned their spot though and I can live with that. I'm not really pro any team although 9/10 I would be cheering for the US against Portugal, I like underdogs.
Well cleary this isnt Portugal best, most players didnt played the whole season, and are full of injuries, they cleary are in a very bad shape and the number of injuries, in just 2 games is a testament to that, i also belive Portugal lost, because it didnt had a proper left wing back.
They adaptated with players that are not used to play there. And klinsman knew that and took advantage of that imo. I also dont understand how Paulo Bento doesnt Put Willian Carvalho from the start, what an amazing player. I also dont get why Bento doesnt use Ronaldo as a striker in the midle, in order to give him more freedom and more ball retention in the midle.
US as a very well organized team, but from what i saw today and from their match with Ghana, its mostly what they have, its going to be interesting to wacth them play against Germany now.
As Portugal goes, everything is possible even though i think Portugal its a very unbalanced team at moment, but i doubt we have what it takes to keep up with Ghana Physicality, yet they lost with US.. funny World cup so far.
That last goal by Portugal to tie the game up with only 30~ seconds to go wow....
Also Beckerman should have been sent out in the first half for agression against Meireles. It was even worse thing then Pepe imo.
Lucky the referee was sleeping.
Meh . . . Spain or Portugal, the country the country that looks like a boot!
As a teenager, I was taken to various houses and flats above takeaways in the north of England, to be beaten, tortured and raped over 100 times. I was called a “white slag” and “white ****” as they beat me.

That's Poland, dude. They're not playing this Cup.
As far as i know the only boot like country is Italy.
Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.

Thats Italy for s sake.Meh . . . Spain or Portugal, the country the country that looks like a boot!
haha americans and their geography... im not one to make stereotypes, but man lol.
Brutal way to end a game, feels like a loss. Got to give it to Portugal, they have the best player on the field and he wasn't offsides!
I expect a 4-1 drubbing by Germany. If somehow we make it through to the next round its already a win for the US. If we don't make it we only have ourselves to blame because we had it in our hands and let it slip away.

That map got the Crimea wrong.
Well Ukraine its a work in progress last time i heard.
So Germany and Ghana have the best shot at going through? Or Germany and the USA?
True. The game against Ghana should be fun. So many groups thrown wide open at the end here, far more exciting than what I predicted at the start.
Not sure how/why Poland got mentioned, but the order that was posted in was enjoyable.
Germany and USA have both 4 points, Ghana and Portugal only 1. If Germany and the US draw, they both advance. If the US wins they will advance and most likely Germany too, because they have the best goal difference, so Ghana or especially Portugal would need really high wins to catch up to them. If Ger wins and Gha-Por is a draw, Ger and USA will advance. If Ger wins and either Gha or Por wins, it depends on the goal difference wether Gha or Por can catch up with the USA. Portugal has a really bad goal difference, so their chance is very slim in any case.
So, from best chances to worst: Ger, USA, Gha, Por

Hm, So the Belgians have to hope for Germany 1 and USA 2, since Belgium is likely to become group leader in their group and I bet they'd prefer to play the us over the Germans
