Between this reply and Higg’s reply, it makes a little more sense now. But I’m still not buying it. A team should be rewarded for beating another team.
The US beat Ghana in 100% of the games they played. Therefore, the US should get the tiebreaker. Granted, if the US played Ghana 99 more times, Ghana might beat them 99 times. But in this tournament, the US won.
So who is betting on the US advancing? Before the Portugal game I thought US would advance, but that was a pretty bad mistake at the end in an important game. Furthermore, I think Portugal, who is tired, injured, and unmotivated, won’t find their way across a strong and talented Ghana side.
Wtf is wrong with the guy. Puts in a world class match winning performance against England, cries with ecstasy after the game, then helps his team reach the last 16 but for no apparent reason bites someone and effectively rules himself out of the rest of the World Cup and jeopardises his big money move to la liga. The guy has some serious issues
