USA vs. Germany score posted.
Portugal vs. Ghana score posted.

While the US lost against Germany they still advance, with Germany on goal differential vs. Portugal.

On to the group of 16 for USA!

After the last matches today I will post of the group of 16 schedule.

Ah the world cup, where a tie is a loss and a loss is a win

Same thing can happen in group stages of other sports that have group stages like this.

[/quote]QFT, hockey is like this in international play.

Hell, even the NHL to some degree (although an 82-game round robin has a lot less weight on each individual game than a 3-game one...). Just this past season, Colorado won the Central Division in the last game, even though they lost in a shoot-out. That one point... had they lost in regulation, they woulda been second.

Tie-breaking is generally structured to favor the stronger performing team.

lmfao

I think Ann Coulter might be the single best argument for the "check your privilege" meme. She must also have a penis because she seems way too misogynistic to be female. Maybe she has gender dysphoria? She probably thinks she was born the wrong sex, and in the wrong decade.

[Elder]

that was a really sorry excuse of an article about soccer.
It read more like the metric system is evil because its too hard to understand standardized measurements.

Liberals get angry and tell us that the metric system is more "rational" than the measurements everyone understands.

rational is quoted but i dont think she knows what it means. Maybe she was playing mad libs

They did not deserve that win at all, Chile completely dominated for about 2/3 of that game. What you did reveal is - they are vulnerable and have bad defense if you get get on tilt.
