PROBLEM: (CNN) -- For about 13 minutes, Team USA sat at the top of its World Cup soccer group, ahead of the mighty Germany and star-powered Portugal. Then Portugal struck back. With seconds left to play, Cristiano Ronaldo set up a header for his teammate Silvestre Varela, leaving the final score tied at 2-2. It was a harsh blow for the Americans, but it does not end their World Cup dreams -- it just makes them harder to achieve. With every team in Brazil now having played two matches, most groups now have clear winners and losers. But not Group G. In theory, any of the four teams in the group of Germany, the United States, Ghana and Portugal could still qualify for the knockout round.Sunday's tie with Portugal makes it more difficult for USA to achieve its World Cup dreamsThe Americans secure a place if they beat or draw with GermanyNetherlands tops Group B with victory over ChileNEW: Brazil, Mexico advance to the Round of 16 with convincing victories 
 Question:No matter who wins the Ghana-_ match, neither team can end up with more than four points.

SOLUTION: Portugal

PROBLEM: (CNN) -- The Syrian president sacked the governor of a restive province, a day after tens of thousands of anti-government protesters took to the streets of its capital. President Bashar al-Assad discharged Dr. Ahmad Khaled Abdul-Aziz from his post as governor of Hama province, the third provincial governor to be fired since the countrywide protests began in mid-March. No reason was given for the move, reported on Saturday by the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency. Hama city, the provincial capital, has been the scene of very large demonstrations and the outpourings there have been compared to the gatherings in Cairo's Tahrir Square, where daily demonstrations earlier this year forced the removal of Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak.NEW: Human Rights Watch documents recent deadly violence in HomsHama is the scene of a bloody crackdown in 1982Hama's governor is the third to be discharged since the unrest startedAt least 24 people were killed in Syria during Friday demonstrations

PROBLEM: Nick Kyrgios has denied 'tanking' Monday's emotional clash with Frenchman Richard Gasquet that saw the 20-year-old's Wimbledon campaign end. In bizarre scenes, he briefly seemed to throw in the towel, barely swinging for three of Gasquet’s serves at 2-0 down and receiving boos and jeers from disgruntled spectators. Kyrgios has since blamed his performance on the strain of 'external pressures,' but faces a fine of £160,000 under grand slam 'best effort' rules. 'Of course I tried,' Kyrgios said during an intense post-match press conference. 'There was a lot of ups and downs. It was a tough, tough time, especially when he's not missing any balls,' he said.Nick Kyrgios has denied 'tanking' Monday clash with Richard GasquetHe appeared to 'stop trying' during the second setThe 20-year-old was booed during the second set by fans on Court 2Australian hot-head was given a code violation for swearing by the umpireHe could face fines of £160,000 for 'aggravated behaviour'Richard Gasquet defeated Nick Kyrgios 7-5 6-1 6-7 (7-9) 7-6 in fourth round
