The WCGDI (World Cup Group Difficulty Index) tells us that Group G (Germany, Portugal, Ghana, USA) is #1 in hardest to win.

Honestly I'm pretty happy about the cities. We're going to have fun and how many people can say they've been to the Amazon? Just don't choke against Ghana and we'll have at least a sliver of hope going into the game against Germany.
 
@fivethirtyeight: USA's draw is bad but not terrible. Perhaps some irrational fear of Ghana because of our history with them.

Ok Nate Silver is helping. No idea what he knows about soccer, and no idea how our draw in not terrible, but ok Nate Silver. I see you.
 
"@sportspickle: I know people think the U.S. has a tough draw, but how many goals has Cristiano Ronaldo ever scored in the MLS? Landon Donovan >>>>. #FACTS"
 
I honestly think we will beat Ghana. I'm fine drawing them. It's all going to come down to what we do vs. Portugal.
 
According to SPI, Brazil has a 96.9% of winning WC. That is bad math there. That means over 99% chance against chile/holland/spain, then 99% in quarters, 99% in semis, and 99% in finals. Not good math there. They are favored, but not sure over 50%.
 
Our order of games is pretty much ideal for us. Also, if we advance, Group H isn't exactly a scary proposition to go up against.

I wouldn't be upset if Crissy gets hurt in the late spring though
 
Matchday one - we HAVE to beat Ghana and Germany HAS to beat Portugal

I agree. And as I stated earlier we seem to play up or down to our competition. No way we can overlook/underestimate any of our opponents. That being said we have got to figure out our LB/RB situation. Ronaldo is going to eat us alive if we don't.

Also a Real Madrid elongated Champions League and La Liga run would be great. Get tired Chrissy. Get hurt. Take a few knocks. Maybe turn an ankle.
