Beat Germany
Tie Germany
Lose to Germany and hope Ghana/Portugal ends in tie.
Lose to Germany and have a better goal differential (which will at best be '0') than the winner of the Ghana/Portugal game.

Well, today aside, I for one will proceed on the assumption that we don't have a snowball's chance in Rio of beating or tying Germany. Kind of sounds like we need to beat Portugal.

Win tomorrow.
Didn't want this to get bottom paged because it includes the lose tomorrow scenario.

The fact that it was the craziest [expletive] ever when we beat Portugal in 2002 and now a lot of us are like, yeah, no problem, is an indication of how far we've come and also that we are probs over confident ATM.

They really do kind of suck. It's just they've got that one trump card.

In other soccer news, apparently Hope Solo put a beating on her aunt and nephew at a BBQ. Can we just put her and Jerramy Stephens kids in jail now?

Seems like Bosnia will look good getting in scoring range, then lose a sense of urgency once they are there. Kind of weird looking down there. Soccer guys, can you elaborate or am I imagining.

I think they're not fit enough. Like a lot of European teams have been. Tired.

Damn. Finally saw it. Germany Ghana was a [expletive] raucous claasic. Jeez. Hard to believe US beat one of them. Germany is a load. This game had to drain these teams.
