Permutations

 

 

Germany and the United States will both qualify if they draw their match in Recife.

 

Ghana could progress to the last 16 if they beat Portugal and Germany beat the Americans. However, should the US lose by one goal and Ghana win with the same scoreline then the US would go through by virtue of their better head-to-head record against the Black Stars. USA could also go through on goals scored if they are in a high scoring match.

 

The Africans could also qualify at the expense of the Germans if compatriot Jurgen Klinsmann's United States side record a large victory.

 

Portugal, who needed a last-minute equaliser against the US to avoid being knocked out, must beat Ghana and overturn a five-goal difference on the Americans.

Portugal achieved a pass accuracy of 88.08% against USA - their best rate in a World Cup match from 1966 onwards.
