Group G

Group G has many interesting components including a major contender in Germany, the best player in the world last 12 months, possibly one of the most underestimated team in USA, and the black stars that so many seem to fall in love with. The group started with Germany who didn't wanna be worse than their orange neighbours, and continued the slaughter of Iberian football. With a stunning 4-0 goal difference and no one expect them to lose two matches, they are virtually through to knock-out stage (98%). Portugal's chances decreased from 59% to 36% and are in deep problems. They desperately need to win against the USA or they will rely on Germany winning against USA and still difficult to catch up 5 goals deficit. The American team bumped more than 20 points when miraculously managed to bounce back after having crawled most of second half and being floored by a late Ghanaian equalizer. The USA now has 60% chance to survive what their coach has called "worst of worst". Ghana is obviously in trouble and their chances are slim (6%). To start with they need a good result against Germany although in theory three points might suffice.
