US needs a goal to undermine Ghana's chances. Bunkering here doesn't do a lot of good.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

You get the feeling this result will stand and Ghana will kick the winning goal in stoppage time?

Ghana will get two goals so that the US and Ghana will get the same number of points, but Ghana will advance even though the US beat Ghana.

If I understand that correctly.

Ronaldo puts Portugal ahead!!!

 

[Chaplin]

Portugal up 2-1!!!

 

[Mathew81]

Ronaldo scores!!! YES!

 

[SO91]

Thank you Portugal!!

 

[Zeno]

Ronaldo scores!!! YES!

I never thought I would cheer a Ronaldo goal so emphatically!

 

[crisper57]

Portugal's goal keeper injured. His sub is coming in. Uh-oh...

4 minutes of stoppage added to that game.

This is a cool way to track who would go through:

Gotta wait 93 minutes for some action. LOL.

 

[crisper57]

Over. We lose...and advance!!!

 

[Kel Varnsen]

USA! USA!

 

[Milgod]

Get in! Deserved over the 3 games.

 

[Dback Jon]

Whew!

 

[Stout]

It was ugly, it was nervy, and I don't freaking care. We advance with no further injuries and no suspensions. JK and the U.S. National Team make history today, by advancing in two straight World Cups out of the group stages. I believe, baby!

USA can send some thank you cards to Boye from Ghana, pretty much guaranteed USA advance with his incredible mistakes against USA and Ghana.

I will take it!

 

[Rivercard]

Odd, the draw Sunday felt like a loss, and the loss today feels like a win!

And if Cameron hadn't sliced it or Bradley just kept the ball or Bedoya lifted the ball or . . .

US had their errors that let the other teams feel close.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

Did we actually have any shots on goal today?

 

[MadCardDisease]

I'll take it. Surviving the Group of Death is a pretty amazing feat in itself.

A couple in stoppage time.

+1. It doesn't matter how you get out of the group stage, just that you do.

 

[Mulli]

Sweet!!

So FIFA thought US would never advance, right? How else does US not have to play Brazil or Nethers now?
