    Okay,

    I already said who I liked (Italy). A little off track but what an upset by Ghana over the Czechs 2-0. Very nice. The goaltender for the Czechs was very good indeed.

    The game could have easily been 5-0

    Ghana made whole Africa happy by defeating Czechs. The last round of matches will be very interesting to watch.

    GO GHANA!

    I swear I was proud of those homeboys. They played some great football, an absolute joy to watch! Just a shame they missed so many chances.

    C'MON ITALIA!!!!!!!!!

    I am just very happy I didn't guess :) Thumbs up for USA!

    Let's make some calculations now:

    Current situation:
    1. Italy 3-1 4 points
    2. Czech Republic 3-2 3 points
    3. Ghana 2-2 3 points
    4. United States 1-4 1 point

    It would be cool if:
    Czech Republic beats Italy 3-0 & USA beats Ghana 3-0 and we could have situation like his:

    1. Czech Republic 6-2 6 points
    2. United States 4-4 4 points
    3. Italy 3-4 4 points
    4. Ghana 2-5 3 points

    And combinig this with previous calculations (Croatia + Australia) the perfect match in next rung would be Croatia-USA + Australia-Czech republic :) But the chances for this situations are at least 1:1 000 000 :)

    Anyway, congrats to USA on excellent game!

    Italy would go through ahead of the US as it's calcultaed on head to head results rather than goal difference.

    No, you are not right, goal difference is the first criteria. I am 100% positive about it. BTW, Italy and USA played 1-1, so in that case head to head result again doesn't mean anything...

    wtf are you guys talking about. The teams rank by points and if two or more teams have the same amount of points then they check goal difference. whoever has higher goal difference would be on top.

    All that needs to happen now is for Italy to beat Czech and for USA to beat Ghana regardless of any goal differences. But Ghana, lol, Ghana will probably kick some american ass!

    Even if USA goes through, then there is Brazil, so basicly it is a bye-bye for USA anyway ;)

    Waiting for Brazil-Australia match, should be very interesting to watch.

    Very bad realization by Croats... We missed penalty kick and had some really good opportunities... All we have to do now is pray for Brasil to win over Australia and beat Aussies in last round... Robert Kovac got his second yellow card and won't play with Australia and that's extra difficulty... I am getting more and more worried...
