If not for a bad call by a referee in the match against Germany we could have easily been in the semis last WC

Let me ask this: if we tie Italy and beat Ghana, we have a slight chance to advance?

If we beat both Italy and Ghana, we'll advance?

Yeah, but would he have the ball control, and awareness of where he was and what he needs to do - he's not running routes from a playbook, he's got to have the smarts to react to what's happening on the field.

Very slight - basically non-existent.

Almost certainly.

should advance if you beat the other two.

Probably dependent on goal difference if you only win one game... or dependent on other results

assuming Italy loses to the Czechs and beat the Ghanans it would go to goal differential...if Italy beats the Czechs who beat Ghana, we're done.

unless Italy beat the Czechs who beat Ghana, and Ghana themselves, then its a 3-way tie.

It's like this team is being managed by Eric Wedge.

Almost certainly.

It will depend how the Italy Ghana game turns out..without Koller and an injures Boros the Czechs might lose their final two games
