Although both teams would advance with a draw, don't expect to see either side take it easy. The U.S.A. has not shown the ability to sit on a game and control it for 90 minutes. Jurgen Klinsmann has stated his team is "not made for ties," but the team would be happy with that result. 

When: Thursday, June 26

Where: Arena Pernambuco, Recife 

Start Time: 9 a.m. PT

Schedule: ESPN, Univision

Live Stream: ESPN

What to Watch For:

Can the silky attacking trio of Ozil, Muller and Gotze break down the unpredictable American defense? The Americans will look to exploit the Germans by sending numbers forward in the flanks. The game will most likely be decided in the midfield with the winning team making the fewest mistakes.

This matchup really is anyone's game and will come down to a bit of sheer luck in combination with a whole lot of skilled play. 

Predicted Lineup:

United States - (4-2-3-1) Howard, Beasley, Besler, Cameron, Johnson, Beckerman, Jones, Zusi, Bradley, Bedoya, Dempsey

Germany - (4-3-3) Neuer, Howedes, Hummels, Mertesacker, Boateng, Khedira, Lahm, Croos, Gotze, Muller, Ozil
