Germany. Long-time nemesis of the United States. Their grievances are known: two World Wars, the Berlin Wall, and female Olympic swimmers with more facial hair than the Duck Commanders. Now, we'll face the Germans in the World Cup tomorrow at 11am, our ability to advance on the line.
Historically, the Germans are as machine-like on the field as their automobiles. Ice-cold, disciplined, emotionless much in the vein of the Swiss bobsled team or Soviet boxer Drago. That's German soccer. I won't pretend to know much about the German team other than they are deep. No, REALLY DEEP.
Sure the US can advance in many different scenarios, including losing, but that's not American. We don't want a tie. We don't want to lose and advance on goal differential. We want to WIN and advance. Beat an elite European team and shove it in the elitist Europeans face!
I can't wait for this game!
