Portugal will be missing Pepe and Coentrao, their best defenders and are demoralized. They're still favorites, and USA will have to play better (i.e. connect more than two passes in a row at some point), but it's far from impossible. Ghana actually didn't have that many clear goal scoring opportunities. They had a lot of possession and made a lot of crosses, but most of their shots were speculative from outside the box and most of their crosses were cleared fairly easily.

Beautiful result! This is what true fans of the game have been waiting six years for. Today, attacking football triumphed over defensive keep-away. Today, humility triumphed over arrogance. Today, fair play triumphed over cynicism and diving. Today, simply, football triumphed. God willing, we will never have to suffer through this horrible little team again.

Onwards to the 23rd, when Australia will complete the humiliation.

Oh come on. Spaniards have been some of the least flamboyant and egotistical champions ever (and it was pretty blatantly Chile whose strategy consisted of wasting time in the second half).

Mexico and Brazil shall avenge us, of course.
Read Lief's statement. Check sig. Die laughing.

Yeah, good thing the picture in my signature is from 2014 and not 1984. Roll Eyes

FIFA might want to consider taking away some spots from uefa and giving them to concacaf for 2018.

Well, 0-0 at the half of this one is certainly a shocker.

Not really, Iran is very good defensively.

And Argentina is incredibly overrated, IMO. They just have a very easy path to the quarterfinals.

Underdogs are allowed to play defensively. And there's nothing cynical about Iran in this game.

Cruel result, Iran outplayed Argentina for long stretches there. Deserved a point. Sad

If Portugal beats the USA today (which is obviously possible; I think the 538 numbers giving the USA such a high chance of advancing are ridiculous), then I think we all can all agree that we'll be rooting for Ghana against them next week. And I think Ghana are the slim favorites in that match.
