United States-Germany preview - World Cup 2014
Group G has been proved the real group of death in World Cup 2014. Some of the other groups were tipped as the group of death, but life in those groups was much easier than that in Group G. With just one match to go, all the teams in Group G have a realistic chance of moving into the second round. Two of the front runners, Germany and USA, clash against each other. If the match ends in a draw, the other teams can kiss goodbye to their hopes.
United States-Germany Preview
If the USA wins too, Ghana and Portugal are likely to crash out. Germany and USA have four points apiece, while Portugal and Ghana have managed just one point from their two matches. Germany has a goal difference of four, which makes them a prime candidate to go through, irrespective of the results in any of these matches.
Still, Germany will want to secure the top slot with either a win or at least a draw. The USA will be more vulnerable if they lose, because they have a goal difference of just one goal. A loss will surely evaporate the advantage. And if Ghana wins by a couple of goals, they will once again – for the third straight time – pip the USA in the race to the second round.
Players
Jurgen Klinsmann, the German legend, will find his one-time deputy Joachim Low at the helm of the opposition camp. Their friendliness has given rise to speculations of fixing the result. Still, Germany will field their full strength squad, with Thomas Muller being the lynchpin of their attack. For the USA, Clint Dempsey and Jermaine Jones, who actually played for Germany before migrating to America, will lead the charge.
United States-Germany Prediction
Notwithstanding the conspiracy theories, Germany is likely to emerge victorious from this clash.
