yup. it's why beating Ghana was so critical, and Germany really helped us with goal differential.I can see the US beating Portugal if Ronaldo is hurting - should at least get a tie. If Ronaldo is healthy and the US doesn't have Altidore back the BEST that we can hope for is a tie, IMO.
The US will probably get smoked by Germany.
Assuming a tie (with Portugal beating Ghana) and a loss to Germany, it comes down to goal differential. The US won by one goal and Portugal lost by 4 - big edge to the US squad right now.
