Scenarios Abound as Ghana and Portugal Play Their Final Group G Game
Group G has become more fascinating by the day – all four teams are still mathematically alive with one game to go. Ghana meets Portugal on Thursday with both teams clinging to life, awaiting the result of the other Group G match between Germany and the USA.
Making a deep run at the World Cup is always tough, especially when two sides know that advancing to the knockout stages hinges heavily on winning their opening match of the tournament.
Germany will open its World Cup Group G campaign with a crucial match against a Portugal side which will once again rely heavily on the skills of mega superstar striker Cristiano Ronaldo.
This year’s German World Cup team can pretty much be summed up with just one word — GOALS! And lots of them too, as they cruised through their WC qualifying campaign with ease, managing 36 goals in 10 games. Precisely why they are favored to go all the way by odd makers, and win it all this summer in Brazil.
Group G is this year’s World Cup “Group of Death”, and is likely to live up to that billing after Germany, Ghana, the United States and Portugal were all assembled, with te later being arguably some of the best teams in the world, with Germany being a strong possible World Cup winner.
