**Official USA vs Germany World Cup Match Thread**

USA vs Germany | Recife | Group G | 11 CT | ESPN

This is the big one.

If the United States ties or wins they advance to the knock out stage of the World Cup. There are also scenarios that are not that outlandish that let them move on if they lose but **** those scenarios.

Playing with the best team in the world while having 7 MLS players starting is a big deal. We were basically daring them to try and score the entire game.

On top of that, the German team has a lot of continuity as many of them have been playing together for some time. Our squad, not so much. Shit, I feel like the only real time tested continuity we had on the pitch today was Bradley and Dempsey. Maybe Jones in there too.

All this without Jozy, and having to change our team identity after just minutes into the first game. I'm extremely proud of this team. Jurgen has done a great job.

According to 538, our odds of winning the world cup have improved from 0.4% before group play to about 1.2% now. Our odds of beating Belgium is about 41.6%.

It's a fact. It's hard for Americans to grasp a tie when it comes to sports.
There are no ties when it counts: the knockout stage.

Group play is just the world cup equivalent of the regular season, its not that damned complicated.

Absolutely. All this talk about backing into the next round is silly. The excuse for why is even worse. Teams in American sports enter the playoffs on losing streaks all the time. 7-9 advances in the NFL...

No, one team scores 28 points in the second half, unties the score/takes the lead, and wins the game.

Not sure I follow your point.

Edit: think I missed a comma reading the first time.

Well, I can see that a potential soccer fan is not welcome in a soccer thread.


I tried, but you guys are assholes when it comes to your sport.

The difference is that in football/baseball/basketball when they coast or rest their players before the playoffs is that they have "won" their way into the playoffs by "winning" not by a "Tie/Draw" and or a loss.

I'm okay with the draw/tie system in soccer because that's the way its always been. The system used by the rest of the world.

You can call them reeruned but its the classic feeling that soccer has been trying to overcome in American since Pele. Thats why it would have been so important to not let that late goal happen against Portugal. The USMNT would have "won" their way into the next round. Big difference.
