    USA lose against Germany.

    Could get a win against Ghana

    Could get a draw out of Portugal.

    4 Points and pray for Portugal and Ghana to slip up.

    Overall it's pretty bad but could be worse.....IF USA can advance they are on the much better side of the bracket but I can't really expect that

    Never know, Ronaldo might break his ankle in last month of season and be out! Portugal without Ronaldo = game over for them!

    The US is not finishing ahead of Ghana. I hate to burst everyone's bubble but the US should finish last in the group. Germany will destroy (even final game), Ghana is purely a better squad and Portugal has an elite scorer, something the USMNT does not.

    The USA has made great strides since 2010 and just caught some bad luck with the draw

    I don't the us at all. Portugal might get some work from ghana but usa is gonna finish last. Germany and porks will play a draw. Germany will beat ghana and then usa is fukked. Usa won't win 1 game. They actually might get 0 points.

    I hate USA's style of play. They dont even try to win all they want to do is try to get a draw.

    who cares if they make it out of the pool they will get beat in the 1st elimination game they play anyway.

    USA soccer always has and always will be a joke.

    Germany x Portugal first game of the group: 0-0, 1-1 or 1-0

    US Portugal and Ghana can all finish 2nd or last....Portugal struggles with teams worse than the US, they are not a team to fear

    The key is Germany clinching 1st before we at them last....they may be happy with a draw and that could push us through

    As a US fan gotta just root hard for Germany to beat Ghana and Portugal

    zero chance of that happening.

    Everyone this year is UNDER rating Portugal. Is the best for them!

    I'll throw some money in Portugal to finish first.
