It will be very tough for us to advance. It isn't impossible but it will be tough.

How many teams advance?

It seems like Portugal and Germany are a given.

I believe it is the top two teams in each group that advance, but my memory could be bad...

Some people consider Portugal a team of one player. I think they are better than that though. Germany moving on is a lock. We have to beat out Portugal to get through. Ghana cannot be looked past though because they have beaten us in the last two World Cups. They are our first game so that is going to set the tone on how this tournament will develop.

Portugal is our gateway to moving on but it won't be easy. I can't see Ghana beating us but they do have play the game.

I think advancing for the US is very doable.  Yes, this is the toughest group but I have Germany as 1 and US as 2.

I can't see Ghana beating us

I didn't see them beating us the last two times so it has me a little concerned this time.

We are a better team now. We expect to win where in the past we just hoped to compete.

I expect us (Portugal) to run the table .. pick up 9 points out of the group

Realistically we'll lose to germany since we always lose to germany Sad

Beating ghana is a given and the US team this year is a bit overrated i think. Their ease of qualification was only helped by the epic mexico collapse and the ineptness of the rest of concacaf.

I've got to ask about heritage given the use of "we". Were you born in Portugal?
