We totally should have won that f-ing game! It was one mistake in the last 30 seconds that gave us the draw. I am still exasperated.
Regardless, there are still several scenarios that lead to us advancing to the round of 16. Let's hope one of them come true. I am hoping for a draw against Germany. I think that is do-able. Obviously a win would be fantastic, but I think that is very unlikely. The German team is very strong this year.

Yeah, we didn't have ESPN at David's yesterday and I had to get the bloody details later, much to my dismay. USA is on the bubble because a blow-out against Ghana by Portugal and a large losing GD to Germany by USA puts Portugal back in the 16. Or, Ghana beats Portugal by a goal* and USA loses by a goal* puts Ghana in the 16. The most favorable scenario is a close win by Portugal and a win, tie, or close loss by USA; i.e. USA, Portugal, and Ghana all play their best. Personally, I think Germany will take the Cup which would be fine by me.
*I haven't done any true analysis on the +/-, but it seems really close to me.
