USA now playing Germany

Germany is nearly always one of the top 5 or 6 teams..so this game will tell the tale if our guys have any kind of shot.

If you are thinking there are an awful lot of black players, you're watching Portugal vs. Ghana.

No.

Will be glad when this is all over, and won't have to put up with soccer for four years...

Is the tie game conspiracy on?

It looks to me like both teams are playing to win, but they are doing it in a defensive-minded way.

It's at times like this that I miss Carmelo.

Been a fan of Die Mannschaft since I was a kid. I was born in West Germany, and the USA was still many years away from qualifying. When I played in college, we would get together as a team and watch the Germans for inspiration.

Go USA!

From Twitter:

We advanced like true Americans. With a subpar performance and outsourcing the hard work to a foreign country.

The United States lost to Germany 1-0, but advances to World Cup knockout stage, thanks to Portugal's win over Ghana.

During the game, goalkeeper Tim Howard was able to block Thomas Müller's first attempt at scoring. But, he wasn't able to stop his second attempt, putting Germany ahead 1-0.

Kinda looked like one of the German forwards was offside on that goal.

Uh no.
