Ecuador the first South American team knocked out of the World Cup and the only one knocked out at the group stage. Shaqiri gets the 2nd hat trick of the world cup.

I am genuinely shocked there were no goals, and Ecuador can thank their goalie. Well, at least we confirmed the qualification but we need to step our game up, it's not quite a World champion-level game yet.

So tomorrow is the Final day of the Group Stages,
Group G
All 4 teams are still in with a shout at making it through to the 2nd Round, however for some, their fate may not be in their own hands
Germany vs USA
A draw would be good enough to send both teams to Round 2, If this were the case than Germany would go through as Winners and USA runners up, If USA could beat Germany than they would win the Group.
Portugal vs Ghana
It is a must win for both Teams, A draw will see them both out, They must then hope their Goal Difference is good enough to get them through, For Portugal their going to need a lot of goals tomorrow.
Group H
Belgium have already Qualified, but the remaining 3 teams are all still in contention for that place in Round 2.
Belgium vs South Korea
Belgium need just 1 point to confirm themselves as Group Winners, For South Korea this is a must win, This is also the last chance for an Asian team to be in the 2nd Round, They must win and hope Algeria don't, Once again Goal difference could come into play.
Algeria vs Russia
A win for Algeria and they are through, A draw if South Korea don't win would also be good enough, For Russia they have to win, Victory for the Russians and South Korea not winning will see them go through, If not, this could be Russia's last World Cup game till the opening Game of Russia 2018 ---------------
Who knows what other surprises this Tourney still has in store?

1-10 scale: how big a failure would it be if the US doesn't advance to the WC round of 16?

1-10 scale: how big a failure would it be if the US doesn't advance to the WC round of 16? 4/10. But seriously, the US just aren't in the same league as Germany, and although Portugal aren't the force they were four years ago, they still have enough quality backing Ronaldo up to be expected to get through to the last 16. A third place finish is probably about the right result for them, and even then Ghana are a dangerous team who can cause an upset.

1-10 scale: how big a failure would it be if the US doesn't advance to the WC round of 16? Before the Cup began, it would have been a 1/10, because barely anyone thought they'd make it out of the group. But now after they beat Ghana and was seconds away from the round of 16, I'd bump it up to a 7/10 at the least.

So whats on tap for tomorrow? As if you didn't already know. USA vs Germany This is it. The game the US will be glued to. Moments away from Pride, taking on the Goliath of the group. Somehow we knew it would all come down to this. A win by the US will give us the Group, a Tie gets us through, and even a close loss would get us through (if the other teams Tie). Germany are good, and people said the US Coach having coached and played for Germany should have made a Friendly Call, but he says it's all Business, and I believe him. No Altidore again, but Germany has shown that they are not Immortal, tying with Ghana, and that's what I think it going to happen here. I want a win, like everyone, but all we need right now, is show we belong. And I believe the US has shown they deserve to go through. 2-2 Tie. Portugal vs Ghana The match that will be going on the same time as USA/Germany. If they tie, it doesn't matter, both are out. If US or Germany lose and one of these teams wins, the winner would be decided with Goal Difference. Portugal are the worst off with Goal Difference, Ghana being in much better shape if they are victorious. Portugal is a hampered team and Ghana seems prepared, but couldn't finish off Germany. In the end, if the US lose, I think both teams want this, it will be a matter if they can finish, and it may come down to another tie for Ghana and Portugal, as this is a heated contest, but one that sends them both home. 2-2 Tie. South Korea vs Belgium Oh and there is another group finishing off tomorrow. Belgium needs just a point to win the Group, and I believe South Korea has shown that they are not at the caliber of this team. Belgium should be able to roll here, and eliminate the last Asian Team in the World Cup. South Korea might try, but if the match vs Algeria is anything to go by, they will not stop Belgium. 3-1 Belgium. Algeria vs Russia Nice to see that the team hosting the 2018 games in Russia will be closing out the Opening Ceremonies. Russia has proven to be a capable team with a good defense, but Algeria has shown to be an offense that can score. Russia was not able to finish off South Korea, and Algeria floored them. Despite losing their first match, I believe Algeria has got this, and would probably be the best recovery by a team in the Cup, if Greece hadn't pulled off that Jaw-Dropper. Russia will be sent home to prepare for their own World Cup hosting, where they will hope to get out of the Group Stages again. 4-2 Algeria. Convenient that the last day of the Group Stages really has the most being played for in EVERY game. The USA will be glued to their seats, and so will everyone, as the Group of Death will finally live up to his name. Two Teams go home, two advance, we see the Round of 1 finalized tomorrow, can't wait!

Pfft... such a light punishment.
I know there are going to be defenders, but must I remind them that this is the THIRD time he bit somebody?
It's amazing how a headbutt makes you a villain, but chewing on your opponent is a misdemeanor.

For those that were saying earlier that the marks on Chiellini's arm were photoshopped - watch the video at the top of this page ( www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28010967) and then tell me it was photoshopped. Because I highly doubt the BBC decided to photoshop it and it is their website. Also, 4 month ban is f***ing pathetic. The man is a disgrace to football, talented or not - he should not be above the law. FIFA had a chance to make an example and show their strength (much like the FA had with Joey Barton) and they failed (much like the FA did with Joey Barton). Disgusting to know that he can just carry on making millions of pounds a year and playing football once again in just four months.
