Portugal vs Ghana World Cup 2014 Results and Highlights — Cristiano Ronaldo saves USA to the round of 16

Real Madrid star player Cristiano Ronaldo-lead Portugal and Ghana will be playing against each other on Thursday, June 25, at this year’s FIFA World Cup Group G finale. Both of these aforementioned football clubs definitely know that their fate to advancing in the last 16 round is not in their own hands, as Portugal vs Ghana are heavily relying on the result from the group’s other game between the United States and Germany. Today’s Portugal vs Ghana match will begin at 12:00 PM EST which will be held at the Estádio Nacional de Brasilia in Brazil and will be aired on the ESPN 2 network, as well as through an online through free live streaming services.
Coming to this game, both football teams absolutely know that this is a must win match and one of them will have a chance to advancing in the round of 16 knockout stage at this year’s FIFA World Cup. However, a win in this game doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be progressing in the next stage of elimination, as one’s chance of getting into the next round still depends on the result of USA-Germany game. The worst thing that Portugal and Ghana don’t want to happen is a draw between the United States and Germany game that will put both Portugal and Ghana out of the World Cup 2014 tournament. That said, a draw between the United States and Germany gameplay today would see themselves in the round of last 16 teams standing.
With Portugal’s and Ghana’s finale game, both have small chance of getting into the next stage. The West African have a -1 goal difference, where as the American have +1 and Germans have a +4. If the European party, on the other hand, has been defeated with a single deferential goal, they would be listed in the last 16 squads to stay in Brazil and continue their campaign in this tournament runners-up. If the Germany win this match, on the flip side, Ghana and Portugal only chance is to win this game with at least five goals.
Both European and African World Cup qualified delegated would much prefer the Germany to win over the United States; with a single goal win and single goal or goalless loss for USA would put them on the same 0 goal difference. Portugal is hoping that Germany or USA could score a huge number of goals, opening the door for a goalscoring victory to edge Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates into the round of 16 knockout stage.
