...it certainly makes next weeks match with Germany more interesting!
My biggest concern is that team that come back from Manaus are drained. They need to spend some time in a hyperbaric chamber soon

The US team has exceeded all expectations for me....
now Italy is another story..the blue need a win or tie against Uruguay to advance......
TBH, the plan was always to beat Ghana and then get a tie vs Portugal and then lose to Germany by less than the others and go to the next round on a tie breaker if not outright. Ghana tieing Germany throws a wrench into the spokes; cos now Germany hasn't qualified yet, and they won't be resting their starters.
That said, the way that this happened has been a bit crazy. I never thought we'd play so 'poorly' against Ghana and win and then play so well against Portugal and not get the win.
