Germany and United States are on the brink of qualification as they sit on 4 points while Portugal and Ghana have a mountain to climb being on 1 point each going into the final Group G fixtures.
USA were seconds away from qualifying to the Round of 16 as they led Portugal 2-1 in the dying minutes but a wonder ball from Cristiano Ronaldo set up Varela’s equalizer to keep nation’s hope alive.
However, the Real Madrid star may have just delayed the inevitable disaster of his side as Portugal have the least chance of qualifying from the group.
Germany have a very high Goal Difference and a draw against United States will be enough to top the group but back them to learn from their errors vs Ghana to bounce back and beat the Americans with their quality squad as also predicted by Betegy.
USA and German draw will automatically eliminate Ghana and Portugal from the World Cup and Klinsman won’t mind coming second to his national side but that would mean they might face high flying Belgium in the next round.
Portugal have a (-4) GD, Ghana have (-1), USA (+1) while Germany have (+4).
For Portugal and Ghana to have any hope of qualifying, there must be a winner between US and Germany and the best possible scenario for them is that Germany should win.
Given that Portugal captain Ronaldo is not in his best form and fitness, it will be fair to back in form Black Stars for victory.
Ghana wasted a lot of opportunities against Germany or else the three time World Champions might have even lost the game.
A similar game with more efficiency in front of goal on Thursday and the African side can eliminate the Portuguese but even then that might not be enough for qualification to Knock-Out rounds.
