I was about to comment about how the American long shots have been dire. If the momentum swings now, this game is theirs for the taking.

If it stays draw Portugal would probably be out as they would unlikely to make up the goal difference

Gotta say the "USA" chant is one of the most nauseating sounds in sport. Just sounds incredibly obnoxious.

When's the last time Portugal had a properly quality centre forward? (I wouldn't include Ronaldo as an out and out CF btw.)

If Portugal lose this then surely Ronaldo shouldn't play the 3rd game?
Honestly I'm not sure he should play regardless of this result. |

Refs should be booking people for these crap dives. USA too hemmed in at the back. They need a way out of defence.

Looking at that clear dive from Nani brings to me how reluctant referees have been to book players for diving at this World Cup - in fact, I can't remember a single instance.

Yes, they'd have to thrash Ghana to have any chance of going through - and even if they did they'd still go out if Germany and USA drew.
This is a poor portugese side |

Yet a 50/50 ball and the yank gets booked!.... |

Never thought Nuno Gomes or Pauleta were particularly prolific. Pauleta had a decent record for Portugal I suppose.
