Well I don't think the USA will beat Germany. But this WC is very surprising thusfar. I am even suprised with the play of the USA. I don't like their way of play (lot of muscle, very less technique), but I have to give them credit for winning to the Portugese. Something The Netherlands didn't do. But after the easy victory of the Dutch team against the USA, I wouldn't have thought they would make it to the second round.
And on Eurosport I've even seen American soccerfans cheering in the street. While this is still strange to see for a European cuz it was all a bit made up, I hope the USA will use the untapped potential that is hiding their in the States. Maybe there will stand another team up from another continent than South-America or Europe. It will make the competition more intense!
