So do you guys have any guesses for the US game? Should the US and/or Germany push for a win or will they play for a draw
Honestly, I won't say anything fishy concerning what happens off the field but honestly, I'm not expecting the most exciting game tomorrow. Both teams only need a draw to enter. In the WC, if this is the scenario, then I wouldn't put winning as my first priority but play in a winning fashion to advance whether it should be a win or draw. I think the Germans and Americans will enter into Recife tomorrow with a winning mind but not much at stake really. At first I thought the schedule screwed the US big time with Germany at the end but I find it actually very lucky for the Outlaws. However, I will contradict a part of what I am saying. The US right now are in a weird spot. Their chances of getting in is very likely but then should they win to play the runner up of Group H (South Korea, Russia, or Algeria) or play against Belgium, whom everyone is predicting to win the group? The three candidates for runner-up aren't known for their consistency and Belgium is a very dangerous team down the road. Thoughts?
Prediction: 1-1 draw. Everyone wins. Germany will probably go with a more lighter lineup and the US might go with a very similar lineup that they used for Portugal. For the Ghana-Portugal game, I can see a draw or Portugal giving everything they have and win 2-2.
