Before hearing about the weather, I felt 100% certain that both teams would be playing for the win...

no deals, no winks and slacking off.

But now...I'm not so sure. I bet it makes for an interesting discussion among the German coaching staff.

How hard do we play? And for how long?

I mean, if they can come out hard and go up 2-0 in the first 15-20 minutes or so...then sit Peyton Manning and wait for the end of the game. But how long do you go scoreless or tied?

Should be interesting to see

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
