Italy has now 4 points, the US has 1, Ghana 3 and the Czech Republic 3 as well!
If Italy wins against the Czech Rep. they will continue to the next level. The US could then get further by beating Ghana.
If Italy loses against the Czech Rep. they'll have 4 points, same as the US if they win against Ghana.
In that case, the team that scored more goals will go further. In case they both scored the same amount of goals, the team that received fewer goals will go further.

If Italy wins over Czech and US wins against Ghana... If Italy and Czech are tied (0-0 or 1-1)in their match, US must win with at least 4 goals against Ghana. But if Italy and Czech tied at 2-2, then US must win with 5 goals due to goal differential in the group.

A Win from Italy vs Czech, and a win from USA vs Ghana
EXPLANATION:
Right now the positions are:
Italy 4 points (1 win + 1 draw)
Czech 3 points (1 win): in second place for goal difference +1
Ghana 3 points (1 win) in third place for goal difference 0
USA 1 point (1 draw)
We have the next game of the group, being played at the same hour in diferent cities, so none of the teams could speculate with the results (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT). So:
Italy should win against Czech Republic and
USA should win against Ghana , and the positions will be
Italy 7 points (2 win + 1 draw)
USA 4 point (1 win + 1 draw)
Czech 3 points (1 win)-the position depens of the goal difference
Ghana 3 points (1 win)-the position depens of the goal difference
Italy and USA pass to the next round
So with a little help from our friends ITALY, we USA will have our own faith in our hands
The minimum that Italy needs, to go to the round of 16 is a draw with Czech, but the Czech need to win, because a draw means that if Ghana win they are out. So Czech is going to play to win, and Italy needs to play to win, to asure themself at least a draw (This happens because all of them plays at the same time, and don't now how the outcoming of the other game).
So Italy will play to win (Czech will go for the victory and so is Ghana and USA) because if they don't do it, then at the end they could be one of the teams left behind.
