You have to assume you won't get anything against Germany but a draw against Portugal would probably be enough to go through. Given what you say there, that puts you in a nice but tactically quite tricky spot: do you play for a draw, pack up the defence and inevitably invite a barrage from Ronaldo? Portugal, as bad as they looked against Germany, will be going all out from the 1st minute and their attacking threat is obviously far greater than Ghana's. Your weakest area is on the right side and I wouldn't be surprised if that's where they stick Ronaldo. I do think you can beat them but a lot will depend on how Klinsmann decides to play it, and which Portugal shows up.
