The reality of the situation facing Bruce Arena and his troops on the historic Nuremburg marching grounds is immense.

There are a number of scenarios that I know we have replayed endlessly in our heads but at the end of the day we do need help.

Firstly only a win will do and against a very confident, fit, and strong Ghanian side that will be hard to come by.

Secondly we need help from eithr the Czech Republic or Italy. Both of whom have their own agenda's. However do not despair, football has a way of surprising us constantly and if you watch the EPL, you'll know exactly what I'm getting at. Remember two season;s ago and the last day epic when Southampton, Crystal Palace, Norwich City and WBA were playing for survival. During the 90 miuntes every team was either safe or down at certain points, so it is never over until the final whistle.
