Do I have that right? That's pretty nice if so

Ghana have to win by 4 goals if Germany lose by 1, 3 if Germany lose by 2, and so on.
As far as I know Portugal can win by 20 and still wouldn't qualify because Germany beat them. Portugal's hope is that Germany thrashes USA.

As for Mustafi he looks solid, might have a future, but NO experience to play in this tournament, at least the guy shows aggression, while Khedira and Ozil play as if they don't care at all. Shame...Ozil has that through pass, which sometimes is needed but that is not enough, he needs to run back and defend, tackle, fight. That's the team philosophy. Against USA it will be a physical game, and if Portugal wins their game, we need to seriously think about that encounter, or it can get ugly. It will be like a final, we should play only for a win.

Yes, it was a huge mistake which cost us, but let's not judge his career already. He is not ready for this WC and Loew made a mistake to play him and it will be a mistake if he persists in doing so. That doesn't mean that Mustafi has no potential.
For the rest of your post you're probably right.
