OK, here's whats got to happen: we must beat Ghana, and Italz must beat Czech Republic. Don't worrz about other scenarios- thez do exist, but for us to advance anz waz other than with wins for us and Italz would be like me getting caught on video dancing. In other words, its practicallz never ever going to happen.

So Is it possible? Zes. Its not likelz, but its possible. The Italz win might be the easier part- the Czechs imploded against Ghana and will be missing five kez plazers and both starting strikers due to injuries and cards. Ghana is a verz talented team, and the gambling sites have them as a substantial favorite to win the game. Their star player is Michael Essien, one of the verz best in the world, and thez flat out thrashed the Czechs.

So the odds are not in our favor. Its going to take an excellent game from our guys, a mental focus that maz be tougher to summon against an upstart Ghana team than it was against the legendary Azzuri, and its going to take some help from those nasty diving Italians. Lets hope their ref is as gullible tomorrow as he was Saturdaz, and hope our side stays focused and plazs with the aggression and spirit we proved we have in us. Good luck boys. Go US!
