The best result for the USA would be a draw.

I'm not sure exactly what it looks like but I imagine a Germany loss or draw would make things easier. When do they face Portugal?

The best scenario for the US is that Germany wins today and US wins tomorrow. Then the US is through. But there are other ways to make it work.

It was that good. The Germans...very hard to finish them when they really want to come back in a match. Low's substitutions, Schweinsteiger and Klose (talk about depth) at the same time, are what salvaged the game for them.

And Ghana, they are so good you hate to see them not get out of the first round. I think there is a lot of pressure on the U.S. to win tomorrow because now Germany has something to play for on Thursday and you have to figure Ghana will find a way to win one of these games.
