It's never happened in World Cup history. I don't see is losing. The issue is whether we get one point, or three points. Anything less than three and were up shit creek with no means of conveyance.

I think the USMNT finally gets over the hump against Ghana. And they'd better. IMO to get out of this group, the Ghana game is a must win.

I am pretty sure the soccer gods wanted to make sure the yanks did not make it through, otherwise the yanks would have put in Group C or group H. Two crappy teams out of those groups will advance.

Ghana 4 USA 2

Doesn't Ghana use Witch Doctors? No way the yanks can play the game with witch doctors doing their curses.

BTW, my soccer knowledge is diddly squat, and I will prove it by my predictions.

If USA loses their first game it's going to be a really short WC for them.

This is the only game I think the us has a chance of winning, but I think Ghana should be favored. If we lose this game, we probably will leave Brazil with no wins. I'm going to say a draw, 1-1.

Nobody gave us a chance of beating Portugal or Spain either...

You're right, flukes do happen. The United States also should've beaten Germany in 2002 if I recall correctly. Wasn't there a hand ball in the box or something controversial that kept the United States from tying it up? This is probably the best USA team to go to a World Cup, but I just don't see them doing much. We got screwed with the group we were put in.

Yes that's exactly what happened in 2002. And yes, I believe FIFA fucked us intentionally. I still say we've got a good chance of beating Ghana, and anything can happen against Portugal and Germany. Frankly, I just don't think Portugal is the powerhouse many do.

I agree with your point about Portugal. Outside of CR7 they are very average. If the US can neutralize CR7, which is easier said than done, then the US can win.
