In response to "I hear that...but what's more important...you're seeding? Or losing a couple star players in a semi-meaningless game?" by Jim

I understand your point, just offering this is a consideration that is probably in Germany's mind.

I figure the are weighing the potential opponents as part of their consideration. If they consider the potential opponents relatively even, they probably sit players. Alternatively, if the #1 seed the other Group is a perennial problem for Germany, perhaps they don't.

- Scratch everything I've said. Germany *has* to play. They aren't in yet. - Tyego97 Jun 26, 06:58 4
  - Really? I thought they were. Hmmm...that does change things a bit then. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 06:59 3
    - It would take a lot for them to not be in, but card isn't punched formally yet. - Tyego97 Jun 26, 07:03 2
      - So a 5-0 Ghana win coupled with a 1-0 US win and Germany's out. Am i reading that right? - Jim Jun 26, 07:06 1
        
        Yeah, a net 6 goal margin for the USA & Ghana puts Germany out. It's the only scenario where they are - Will Hunting Jun 26, 07:27
