World cup as of today

The world cup
The knockout stage is ready. With U.S.A making it!!! They made it out with this scenario: Ghana as I wrongly perceived did not lose all their games they tied 1 vs Germany. Which also shows that I was wrong about Germany winning every game. So it came out like this.

Team      Pts  GD
Germany 7      5
USA       4      0
Portugal  4     -3
Ghana     1     -2

Games
Germany vs Portugal Results: 4-0
Untied States of America vs Ghana Results: 2-1
Germany vs Ghana Results: 2-2
Untied States of America vs Portugal Results: 2-2
Untied States of America vs Germany Results: 0-1
Portugal vs Ghana Results: 2-1

USA ties Portugal losses Germany. Germany ties Ghana. Portugal beats Ghana
Here USA would be tied with Portugal in points because both beat Ghana , both lost to Germany and they tied each other. But Since Portugal has -3 goal difference right now the tie is be broken with USA advancing. If Ghana had won by 3 or so goals and the US had lost then they would go home.

Team      Pts  GD
Germany 7      5
Ghana     4      1
USA       4      0
Portugal  1     -3

The US would also go home if Portugal had won by like 5 goals and the US had lost. So it depends how many goals their were in the games. But luckily it did not happen like this and US is now advancing!!

This is my predictions for the knockout stage. They looked way different some months ago. They had Spain , Italy and England and they did not have Uruguay,Chile or Costa Rica in them. The final was Spain Brazil : )

 

Today is a Rest day in the World cup.
