Match Report: -

Well Germany do it again, scrape themselves through to the next round. I am struggling to write this as I can't believe that they are through and we aren't, unbelievable. Germany are unconvincing, nervous and most of all lacking in confidence, they will not proceed in this tournament if they play like they did today.

Germany are through after the USA can find themselves unlucky, after they had chances, perhaps ones that they should have taken.
