I know right… If someone asked me before the tournament what the chances of U.S. advancing in expense of Italy and Egypt were, I would be like ZERO. After Egypt lost 3-4 to Brazil and won against Italy – I would be even more confident… But I guess Egypt just relaxed way too much against the U.S. and Zidan’s absence didn’t help. Italy isn’t advancing because it scored one goal less – three as opposed to U.S.’ four. If points and goal differences are the same, the team with highest number of scored goals advances.
