Don't be surprised if both of those teams do play for a tie- to avoid injuries and yellow cards.
My understanding is that if they play to a draw, the US could still advance, but they'd need the goal differential tie-breaker. So they'd have to beat Ghana by 5 goals. That's incredibly unlikely, obviously, but still that's the possibilities.
