Or a glitch like losing 5-0 to Germany.

(Although I realize that if Germany has beaten Ghana and is sitting on 6 points, with the US at 4, Portugal at 1, and Ghana at 0, Germany is probably going to be content with a 1-0 win or a tie)

The Mexico Brazil game was one of the best 0-0 draws I've ever seen. I imagine Ocoha's agent is getting a few calls.

Agreed. In stark contrast to the awful game between Nigeria and Iran, Brazil-Mexico showed how exciting and interesting a 0-0 game can be.

Ochoa was awesome. Just awesome.

In theory, the USA can move through even with losses against Portugal and Germany. It would require that Ghana beat Portugal (definitely possible), that that Germany beat Ghana (highly likely) -- leaving Germany with 9 points and everyone else with 3 -- and that the USA do best on goal differential. The latter is certainly possible, since Portugal did so badly against Germany.

That said, I think we can beat Portugal given how badly they played against Germany, and I truly hope we do beat the crap out of that cheating pussy-ass pretty-boy led team.

That's why the last two games in each group are played simultaneously.

Also, Germany likes scoring. They can put Klose in and give him a chance to be the all-time World Cup scoring leader.
