I don't know if i see ghana beating portugal tho (not that the result of that game would matter unless extreme blowout)Not only do I see Ghana beating Portugal, but I've convinced myself that they are getting at least a point from Germany, obviously a nightmare scenario for us. The matchup of the Boateng brothers should be entertaining. Portugal is trash, we need those three points. The World Cup historically is filed with trends who lost their first match but advanced well into the knockout stage, none off them lost 4-0.I wouldn't call Ghana getting 4 points a "nightmare scenario."

us not getting a point from portugal would be the nightmare scenario
Quote from: Tobias on June 17, 2014, 08:30:28 AMus not getting a point from portugal would be the nightmare scenarioI don't like it chances drawing either, I think Ghana will score more goals than we will in the next two matches. I don't think we will open play up at all, that's all they know.
ghana may score more goals than us but i don't exactly expect them to break down germany and portugal offensively

I'm hoping for 1 point from Portugal and a Germany win over Ghana. Realistic and puts us through most likely unless Germany destroys us.
guys besler didnt look that good. tight hammy or not, i think you still play brooks. he earned it.
