Well after one game my prediction is already almost certainly shot, thankfully. A draw against Portugal in the next game would almost certainly be enough to get the US through to the knockout rounds, barring a pounding from Germany like what they gave Portugal. Portugal looked terrible, but the US did not look so great either.

Anyway, things look much brighter than I expected. Today really went about as great as it could have for the US. At one point late, when the match was already out of hand, Ronaldo thought Portugal should have had a penalty and got very aggressive with the ref, I thought he might do or say something to get himself sent off. That would be just about the only thing that could have made it better.

USA what-if scenarios for group G:

Remaining games

USA vs Portugal
Germany vs Ghana

USA vs Germany
Portugal vs Ghana

GD
Germany +4
USA +1 (+2 vs Ghana, +5 vs Portugal)
Ghana -1
Portugal -4

There are 9 different results for the 2nd games:

1) USA beats Portugal, Ghana beats Germany

USA 6 pts
Germany 3
Ghana 3
Portugal 0

We advance unless Ghana beats Portugal and we lose to Germany and Ghana's GD is better than ours

2) USA loses to Portugal, Ghana beats Germany
All teams have 3 points.
If we beat Germany, we advance
If we lose, we are out
If we draw, we are probably out (zero GD or worse, Ghana would have zero GD or better. 2nd tiebreaker is goals scored, so we only advance over Ghana if we had scored more total goals. Portugal would have to beat us by 6 to be considered.

3) USA draws Portugal, Ghana beats Germany
USA 4
Germany 3
Ghana 3
Portugal 1

If we beat or draw Germany, we advance
If we lose, we advance if Ghana draws Portugal and they only beat Germany by 1 and we have more goals scored.
If we lose, we advance if Portugal beats Ghana by 4 goals or less or they win by 5 and we score more goals than them.

4) USA beats Portugal, Germany beats Ghana
Germany 6
USA 6
Ghana 0
Portugal 0

We advance.
We only capture 1st by beating Germany or we have a draw against them and we beat Portugal by 4 more goals than Germany beats Ghana

5) USA loses to Portugal, Germany beats Ghana
Germany 6
USA 3
Portugal 3
Ghana 0

We beat Germany, we advance unless Portugal beats Ghana and both Portugal and Germany have a better GD than us.
We draw, we advance unless Portugal beats Ghana

6)USA draws Portugal, Germany beats Ghana
Germany 6
USA 4
Portugal 1
Ghana 0

We advance unless Portugal beats Ghana by 6 goals or more

7)USA beats Portugal, Germany draws Ghana
USA 6
Germany 4
Ghana 1
Portugal 1

We advance.
We take 1st unless Germany beats us, then we take 2nd

8) USA loses to Portugal, Germany draws Ghana
Germany 4
USA 3
Portugal 3
Ghana 1

If we lose to Germany, we are out (Portugal win gives them 6 pts, draw 4 pts; Ghana win gives them 4)
If we draw Germany, we advance unless Portugal beats Ghana, or Ghana wins and has a better GD than us
If we beat Germany, we advance

9) USA draws Portugal, Germany draws Ghana

Germany 4
USA 4
Ghana 1
Portugal 1

If we beat or draw Germany, we advance
If we lose to Germany, we advance if Portugal and Ghana draw

Gutting loss for Australia, that match deserved to be a draw. That was the greatest group stage match I can remember seeing. The Dutch march on, though this game will take the wind out of their sails just a bit. That might be a good thing.

Here is how each region is doing thus far, including the second fixtures for those that have played them:

UEFA (Europe): 22 pts, 14 matches played
CONMEBOL (South America): 13 pts, 7 matches played
CONCACAF (North America): 10 points, 5 matches played
CAF (Africa): 4 points, 5 matches played
AFC (Asia): 2 points, 5 matches played
OFC (Oceania): No teams in the tournament

Incidentally, I think it sucks that the Oceania winner of qualifying does not go directly to the tournament.

Sweet baby Jesus, Spain never even looked like they WANTED to be there. Just awful, awful, awful.

It's going to be a long time before you see a goal anywhere near as good as Cahill's equaliser for Australia.

Which is the reason Australia got the hell out of there and into the AFC.

This is the OFC:
American Samoa
Cook Islands
Fiji
Kiribati-1
New Caledonia
New Zealand
Niue-1
Papua New Guinea
Samoa
Solomon Islands
French Polynesia Tahiti (French Polynesia)
Tonga
Tuvalu-1
Vanuatu

1- Associate member of the OFC, but non-FIFA member.

It is basically New Zealand and a bunch of small island nations. It is hard to argue that New Zealand gets to advance to the World Cup, with out a playoff, because they dominated a bunch of island nations. I think it is only a matter of time before they join the AFC as well.

Yeah that and the van Persie headed goal are two of the all-time great World Cup goals, and they happened less than a week apart.

Just an amazing World Cup so far. Well on course to be the best ever.

Group B standings going into the final games:

Netherlands 2-0-0 8GF 3GA +5GD 6pts
Chile 2-0-0 5GF 1GA +4GD 6pts

Both Netherlands and Chile advance

Australia 0-0-2 3 6 −3 0pts
Spain 0-0-2 1 7 −6 0pts


Games left:
Australia vs Spain
Netherlands vs Chile

Netherlands takes 1st place with win or draw (Netherlands will still have a greater GD)
Chile takes 1st place with a win

If you assume that Brazil will take first in group A, both clubs want to win group B to avoid them in the opening round in the knockout stage.

Seriously. 2014 Spain < 2002 France, which is saying something.

Lethargic, unimaginative, toothless, disinterested....just nothing there.

But like you say, holy Tim Cahill!!

Okay, by "a long time", I clearly meant "tomorrow". What a goal by Gervinho for Ivory Coast. Sublime. Shame they were so spotty against counter attacks.

It was an impressive goal, but for me, it was nowhere in the same universe as Cahill's. Goals like Gervinho's are scored every World Cup, but I've never seen anything like what Cahill or Van Persie did. But it was great skill on his part, for sure.

Eh, giving up the 2 points at basically the buzzer is a disappointment, but in reality, that was not a bad result at all, especially after the first Portugal goal- EVERYONE on defense, and I'm including Tim Howard, wants that one back.

But, if you think about it for a minute, look at the Portuguese celebration- or lack thereof- of what is essentially a miracle point stolen at the death. They NEEDED a win, because they know that, no matter how badly they hammer Ghana in the last game (and that is by far and away not a certainty), the fact of the matter is that their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage rests solely on the fact that the other game going on is Germany against Germany (Western Branch), in which a draw sees both qualify.

It's not gonna be obvious, but as we get closer to Thursday, EVERYONE is gonna be expecting a draw, and that is what they're most likely gonna get.

Per Dave, they invited 90 reporters to vote (including him), of which 28 did (he didn't). That's... not a very good response rate. Maybe that'll get better as it lasts, or maybe the whole thing will get dropped like a TNA ranking list.
