Can someone tell me all of the options (no matter how implausible) for the US to advance in the World Cup?

1. USA beats ghana
Italy beats czech republic
2. USA beats ghana 4-0
Czech republic beats italy 3-0
our goal differential is currently -3 where italy has a +2 advantage
3. USA beats ghana
Italy and czech republic tie
but again, we have to score 4 more goals than the czech score
those are all the options

They will have to win for sure to advance into the world cup. They also need to depend on the Italy and Czech game. If the Italians win and Czech loss, the US will advacne. If the Czech wins and Italians loss and US wins, Italy and Czech will advance. If Czech tie with Italy, Czech and Italy will also advance. In anychance, the US must beat Ghana

They have to beat Ghana and hope Italy will win against the Czech Republic.
If Czech Republic and Italy draws, the US must win and make up the goal differential with the Czechs. (currently +4)
If the Czech Republic wins, US must win and make up goal differential with Italy (currently +2)
If they loss, they wont advance

The US HAS to win then...
Italy beats Czech... or
Italy ties Czech and US wins by more than 2
Czech beats Italy and US wins by more than 3
I think that's it
