so what does this mean brehs
The US is still sitting in decent shape. On the negative side, our last game is against Germany. On the plus side, we advance no matter what in the event of a tie against Germany, or the Ghana vs. Portugal game ending in a tie. If we are destined to lose against Germany, Portugal winning against Ghana is the next best outcome, as we are currently +1 in goal differential and Portugal is -4 because of their first game. If we lose to Germany and Ghana beats Portugal, then it comes down to how bad we lose/how strongly they win. We are +1 and Ghana is -1 in goal differential. If we lose and they win, obviously, that evens out at a bare minimum. So, we just need to keep it close against Germany (within a goal) mainly.
So, we're not guaranteed to advance, but I honestly like our chances.
