Agreed, Germany is very good. I'm confident for two reasons, though. One, the US has looked great, despite their best player (Bradley) having a mediocre performance against Ghana, and although better, nowhere near his best against Portugal. Other players have stepped up big time, like Jermaine Jones. I'm not worried about Dempsry at all, he's good for two or three great chances per game, hopefully one finds the back of the net.

Two, Germany has no incentive to play hard against the US, as they win the group with a draw. They'll likely play a very conservative game, playing for the draw. And I wouldn't be surprised if their best striker (Mueller) sits out for this one, after that shot to the face he took against Ghana.

Either way, #IBelieve!
