Ghana (not the USA) and Germany will go to the next stage. Ghana will beat Portugal and draw with Germany. Both Portugal and Germany will beat USA.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - My Predictions after Round 1 Group Play of World Cup 2014 in Brasil
My People:
After fully watching many of Round 1 matches, and at least snippets of ALL of them, my predictions of group-play winners are as follows:
Group A - Brazil, Mexico
Group B - Netherlands, Chile
Group C - Chile, Ivory Coast
Group D - Italy, England
Group E - France, Ecuador
Group F - Argentina, Nigeria
Group G - Germany, USA
Group H - Belgium, Russia
Those are sixteen predictions...not all easy. My target success rate is 80% - that is, thirteen correct, with England, Nigeria (unfortunately) and Russia being my doubtful ones above.
And there you have it.
