yep and don't forget the other 8 players + the bench
italy is undoubtly the best balanced team of this group.also if i were a US fan i'll be rooting for a win by team togo or at least a tie because if italy win this game it's all over for 2nd place

Why is this? Is it a foregone conclusion that Ghana will lose to the Czechs?

Ghana/Czechs tie, US wins out = US advances.

I'm not saying that the US has much a chance of winning out - but that doesn't mean they should give up even if Ghana loses today.

In fact, there is only 1 scenario that causes the US not to advance should they win both remaining games.

man you gotta stop dreamin... the performance of the US today says 2 clear things 1 their midfield is outmatched (against a decent team)and 2 their defense is not coordinated, even against ghana you're gonna face tough competition
i don't even mention your goalkeeper

Read my post again please.

The US is highly unlikely to win out, but it's not impossible. And if they do, they are strong favorites to advance. The point is, they most likely still control their destiny.

I love watching Italian defenders. They just ignore the ball and stop the player

of course they can advance in a mathematical standpoint but it's tough even for a great team to overcome a 3-0 opening game when there's only 2 game left

If Ghana can shore up their back line, they'll be in good shape, their attack has been impressive.

If Ghana keep letting Italy cross the ball they will lose
