Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 The USA have been very impressive so far in their opening games at this World Cup. Germany, have been well, very German like: solid, strong and efficient, despite a slight blip against Ghana where they drew 2-2. This game is not only interesting for the fact that the top two teams from group G go head to head to battle it out to see who will win the group, but also for the fact of the multitude of intriguing sub plots that this match throws up. First of all, is the fact that a draw will see both sides qualify for the last 16, although both sides have been quick to quash any suggestion that the sides will go out to play for a mutually beneficial point. Second, the USA team is manged by Jurgen Klinsmann, who scored 48 goals in 107 games for the Germans. Klinsmann has described the game as a once in a lifetime occurrence and actually coached many players in this current German team when he was manager of the national team at the 2006 World Cup. Which leads us on to subplot three...Current Germany manager Jogi Loew was Klinsmann assistant in 2006 before taking over from Klinsmann as national team coach. The two remain close friends. Subplot four is that Klinsmann has recruited a number of players from the Bundesliga who have dual German/American nationality. Five of his squad will have split loyalties when the national anthems are being player and USA midfielder Jermain Jones even played for the German national team in three friendlies back in 2008. Well worth watching this one. Share your predictions below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I don't think they'll both go for a draw, but since neither team can afford to lose they won't take any risks. I predict a boring game, 1-0 to the Germans with a late goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonobo Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Does anyone know what channel the match is on? I can't find it on the tube. I see the sign on the True website that we can watch all the games live, but I sure can't find this one. Channel 4 has Portugal vs Ghana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 With English translation and in HD (at least that is so if you are watching Channel 5 on CTH - Channel 175). Ghana v Portugal is on Ch 7 in non-HD and with Thai commentary; worth flicking over to clock pertty-boy Ronnie's new hairdo. I'm sure he's copied that slash from Bale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a world cup and only the champoins will be remembered ;-) First 10 mins - doesn't look like Germany does "play safe n' easy" . I hope they cream the USA - can't stand the thought of being taunted by US friends about how they qualified and we Brits did not. Happily the Ozzies didn't make it thru' - that would have been worse.

Uh, the USA is playing right now, while Prince Charles sold England's bus last week. Half time 0-0. Portugal leads Ghana 1-0. Good news for US if it holds up.

Aforek Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's beauty of football ( not soccer, football ! ) : you can dominate and lose very good match: Germany dominates but USA not ridiculous at all: they can win, and they have a very good goal keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Now is the Summer of our discontent. England out, USA march on (barring extraordinary turnarounds from Ghana). Roy Hodgson has to go.
