Wow. The Germans are rolling today! Didn't see this one coming for sure. The US must be excited. Portugal cannot afford any more goals...

This year's group of Death comprises of US, Ghana, Germany and Portugal. A loss for the Portuguese, especially if Germany drops 4-5 on them is helpful for the US on two levels:
1) Portugal needs 6 points - AKA two wins to qualify for the next round. They cannot concede many goals or else they can still get knocked out on goal difference.
2) If the US beats Ghana and Portugal, they would make the next round. This is why the US HAS to beat Ghana. A draw doesn't hurt but it surely doesn't help.
well lets see how the US plays.

Yeah it was a huge let down. Portugal were so focused trying to get the ball to Ronaldo. Nani had a great chance to go for goal himself, but instead he passes it to Ronaldo. Definition of a one man team. They looked hopeless. Pepe lost the plot and Coentrao is injured. 2nd place in that group looks up for grabs. Germany were comfortable in that game.
