Thomas Müuler’s goal in the 55th minute gave the Germans a 1-0 victory, but that result, coupled with Portugal’s 2-1 win over Ghana, left the Americans in second place in Group G, the so-called Group of Death. That is good enough for Team USA to qualify for the round of 16, where they will probably meet Belgium.
“It’s huge for us, getting out of this group,” Coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “Everybody said you have no chance. We took that chance, and we move on and now we really want to prove a point.”
“Today was a tough game, tough conditions,” goalkeeper Tim Howard said. “Hats off to Germany. I think they have a chance to win the World Cup -- that’s how good I think they are. But we get to the round of 16. It shows how far we’ve come that we’re not happy, that we want to progress.”
The heavy-legged Americans rarely tested Germany, who finished with 68 percent ball possession for the match and 7 points as champions of the group. The Germans especially dominated the early minutes with almost total possession and several forays into Howard’s penalty area.
Their goal came after a corner kick resulted in a header from Per Mertesacker that Howard did well to punch away. The rebound carried to the edge of the area, where Müller was waiting. He drove the ball hard along the grass and true – no chance for Howard to stop it.
Germany finished first in the group with two wins and a draw. The German players and the American players strolled around the field aver the match, exchanging applause with their fans as they all celebrated advancement to the next phase of the tournament.
“In the end, we did enough to get through,” forward Clint Dempsey said. “We always believed we could get out of this group if we played well.”
