    "The USA didn't look like they were going to score all day - then nearly scored twice in 30 seconds."

    "The Germans have done enough today. They've won the group, where they'll face, realistically, Algeria or Russia. I've seen enough from the Germans to suggest they'll go further. It's going to be tough for the United States, though, facing Belgium, who haven't been fantastic so far but have top-quality players."

    Ken McFadden:, external If Portugal go out on goal difference they can blame Pepe on his moment of madness in getting sent off v Germany.

    He's not been at his best but Cristiano Ronaldo could have had a hatful here! He flicks an effort wide from Nani's cross before getting in behind the defence and seeing a tame shot saved by Fatawu Dauda...

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:47 British Summer Time 26 June 2014

    Late change for Germany as Andre Schurrle replaces Mesut Ozil. Pace galore. They've not been at their best this afternoon but you'd fancy them to go far...

    USA v Germany

    As you can imagine, Germany's goal was not well received by USA football fans watching the big screens at Dupont Circle in Washington DC. Anxious five minutes or so for them.

    Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored three World Cup goals from a total of 67 shots. Andy Cole-esque conversion rate.

  12. FINAL FIVEpublished at 18:43 British Summer Time 26 June 2014

    Into the last five minutes of the group. It's tense and edgy for the US but they should be OK now. Barring a landslide of goals...

    German tennis player Sabine Lisicki, last year's beaten finalist at Wimbledon, spends her day off at this year's tournament wisely - by cheering on her footballing compatriots.

    "Yeeeesssss!!!!!!! Amazing goal by Thomas Muller!" tweets the 24-year-old, who lives in Florida. No split loyalties there.

  14. AS IT STANDSpublished at 18:41 British Summer Time 26 June 2014

    Germany will win Group G on seven points.

    USA will go through on four points.

    Portugal also have four points but are three goals behind the USA.

  15. CLOSE!published at 18:40 British Summer Time 26 June 2014

    Massive chance! Cristiano Ronaldo has the chance to make things really nervous for the USA again but he hits tamely at Fatawu Dauda from 10 yards out.

    Had to score!

    "It's that ball into the box, Mensah gets underneath it, the keeper flaps at the ball and Ronaldo does the rest. You've got to be better than that at this level."

  17. GOALpublished at 18:38 British Summer Time 26 June 2014

    Cristiano Ronaldo scores

    Forget about that bonus - it could be all over for Ghana! Awful, awful goalkeeping from Fatawu Dauda, pawing at a cross and laying the ball on a plate for Cristiano Ronaldo 10 yards out.

    He doesn't turn it down, hammering in a left-footed strike for his third World Cup goal of his career.

    Portugal need another three...

    Ghana slinging men forwards at will as they search for the magic goal. What sort of bonus are they on for qualifying?

    "There is a tangible sense inside this stadium that it is beginning to dawn on the US fans and coaching staff that they are one goal from going out of the World Cup. Jurgen Klinsmann is getting increasingly frustrated down on the touchline and there is just a sense of panic beginning to creep in to the way the coaching staff are communicating with the players."

    Audible tension inside the Arena Pernambuco, where the crowd is mainly supporting the United States. They could really do with a goal, or a goal for Portugal...
