USA vs Germany - BBC One 5pm KO
A draw in this one would see both sides through to the round of 16, but a German win would seem the more likely outcome. In the nine previous times these sides have met the Germans have won 6 times and the Americans 3. No draws.
Enjoy the match! |

We damn well better not camp out for the draw because the defending from the Portugal game gets us murdered against the Germans.
Crossing my fingers Ghana don't beat Portugal. |

Crossing my fingers Ghana don't beat Portugal. In other news, the German media seems to be under the impression that Schweinsteiger will play from the beginning. It might just be wishful thinking though. I think both teams will try to win. Unfortunately, if it ends in a draw after all, everyone will think it was planned. |

I hope the USA can win the match but I believe it's likely they'll lose. But It will be close, like a 2-1 match result. Therefore, it will be enough to deservedly take them through to the next round.

I don't know why, but I've got a funny feeling the USA are going to do a lot better than expected in this tournament.
I might have a few quid on them. |

USA have been box office so far can't wait for this one but after their efforts in the previous games I think they will stumble here and go out. I hope not because they've been one of the many highlights of the World Cup for me.

Sneaky draw I feel - but played fairly.

Was really looking forward to this game but the fact that a draw will put them both through kind of knocks out the intensity of the match.

Will be interesting to see how the US play this game, I think Jürgen Klinsmann will play just as big a part in this game as the players, he'll know the German team inside out and quite possibly how to beat them

![]() I think Jurgen is being a bit optimistic, with the millions of fans. ![]() Call it optimistic if you will, but we don't 'expect' we just believe! I realise other countries have red, white and blue in their country colours; however, not sure if they refer to their country as such as we Americans do, that was the reference I was implying...not trying to be pedantic or anything

1-1, Germany to score first, sit back and concede towards the end.

When asked how he hoped his team would do, Klinsmann said he'd be proud if they thrashed and humiliated their opponents tonight.
He didn't comment on how he hoped USA would do though |

Yes, that's right...the 25 million states side that watched USA v Portugal and I wouldn't be surprised if the ratings for USA v Germany are higher.

They also chant the slogan Allez les bleus. So they do refer to colour quite a bit. Its ok, you arent being pedantic, as you have to be right to be a pedant.

25 million, that is impressive, didnt realise it was that high. Wonder what the figures for matches not involving the US.

I really do hope that this World Cup infuses more support for football in America. (Association football...just to make myself clear here).
Haha Oh yes pedant for sure, I also support England (Husband is English, so it's sorta in our special relationship to support each others nations.) Not much going for you on the football front, supporting two poor teams. I hope you are not a Man U fan as well. Nobody deserves that.
