An Italy win would all but seal the United States' fate. I really think Ghana can keep it close in this one. I like Italy to pull out a tough 1-0 win.

I agree, the US need a draw and even then it might not be enough, they'll need to beat an arguably better defense in Italy than they faced today, but if Ghana can do an Ecuador then who knows? I'm rooting for the African boys, if only to keep the group open.

Depends on how soon Italy gets a goal, if they score early they'll be able to control the game, defend well and play on counter-attack as they love to do, no chance for Ghana under that scenario.

I agree, if Italy scores first, with their ability to defend a lead, the game is over. I still think Ghana can keep it a one-goal game in that scenario, however, especially in light of IVC's and Angola's performances against world-class teams.
