Welcome to the new forum
I feel like the entire board is watching World Cup games as they have cushy government jobs while I am stuck in the office.
anyone have a direct link to the live stream of the games? I've tried ESPN but don't have the login info for the service providers they ask for.
Shit.

Bradley's giveaway cost us the game... He doesn't look good at all at this Cup... I'm really surprised...not sure about the 5 minutes added on... do they add on extra time because of the break for excessive heat?

Anyway all the US has to do is not to get beat too badly by Germany and they will advance. They have a five goal differential up on Portugal.

I liked Zuzi today.....oh and they only have a +2 differential on Ghana so.....
Simplest Scenarios- Germany: Advance with win/draw vs. USA- United States: Advance with win/draw vs. GER- Portugal: Advance with win vs. GHA and GER/USA do not tie, IF POR wins tiebreak with loser (see below)- Ghana: Advance with win vs. POR and GER/USA do not tie, IF GHA wins tiebreak with loser (see below)U.S. Scenarios- Win/draw vs. Germany- Loss and Portugal-Ghana draw- Loss and win tiebreaker vs. Portugal-Ghana winnerTiebreakersIf the United States loses, Ghana would qualify instead if either game is decided by a margin of two goals or more. If the U.S. loses by one goal, Ghana would need to win by two goals or be involved in a higher-scoring one-goal win. For instance, a 1-0 scoreline in both games would put the United States through on head-to-head. So, if the U.S. loses 1-0, then Ghana must win 2-1 to qualify on goals scored.To surpass the U.S., Portugal will need a goal-difference swing of five (head-to-head is level). So for instance, Portugal would need to win 3-0 and U.S. lose 2-0, among other equivalent scorelines. The teams will draw lots if goal difference is identical (this would happen with a 3-0 U.S. defeat and a 2-0 Portugal win, for example).
So, if the US loses to Germany by multiple goals, its likely they're out of the tournament and people will stop pretending like they give a shit about this glorified version of kick the can for another four years, right? Viva Germany.
