A draw here won't matter. the USA will win tomorrow and have their place cemented in the round of 16.

A Ghana win makes this group a clusterfuck regardless of the result tomorrow.

Schweinsteiger's absence is palpable in the German midfield. I missed the pre-game, but read in the past day that he should be available today? Wonder if Löw will bring him off the bench.

Ghana has looked dangerous at moments, but it just looks like a matter of time before Özil, Müller, or Götze connect here.

Oh I know Ghana is quality... I just think Germany is a couple levels above them,... And Portugal... And Us.

The Germans SHOULD win all three games

Iran did play well, but Argentina looked awful. I have watched a lot of Argentina and that was the worst I have seen them play in a while. Errant passes, stupid, long distance shots, sloppy defending, and no focus in the final third. They were lucky to escape with a victory.

When you have Messi, Aguero, Di Maria, and Higuan on the field at the same time, there is no reason not to score. There is no better attacking force in the world.

Your right. I haven't watched them play that much, and i give probably too much credit to Iran. The long distance haphazard shots had me shaking my head as well. Very surprise. Their productivity in the third also had me confused and disappointed.
Lets hope their just in a lull and will soon return to what you've seen them be.

So what I am seeing is Germany's midfield is also having trouble staying in possession. Mueller is doubleteamed and Ozil can't get inside. Seems pretty close to what happened to the U.S.

As of a fan of the game, similar to how I love watching the Spurs, I love watching Germany. They are the class of the world right now.

I was thinking the exact same thing, right down to the Spurs comparison. Just a joy to watch both teams.

Schweinsteiger's absence is palpable in the German midfield. I missed the pre-game, but read in the past day that he should be available today? Wonder if Löw will bring him off the bench.

Yep, Germany's attackers have just missed connecting on a couple of those low crosses. It seems just a matter of time.

But Ghana looks dangerous on the counter-attack. Let's hope the Germans get in sync. No one on this board wants to see Ghana hang around and steal a 1-0 win on a late goal.

Sounds like it... Haven't been able to see much but I'll watch the entire second half... Not much of a surprise though, Ghana's midfield work rate is top flight

No apology needed my man.

This game so far makes me feel even more confident going into Portugal, though.

I am watching on BBC and the commentators are saying Germany looks fatigued.
I wonder if Germany makes a switch here.

Boom. Muller thought he'd share the goals around. He doesn't need to score all of them.

Obviously I want Germany to win, but you got to love Ghana right now. They got punched in the mouth and responded right back by punching em right back. Those boys are fired up... watch out.

Mustafi, were you even watching? Go up and challenge for that at least.
