Even With Defeat to Germany, USA Advances

USA finish second in the group and will now meet the winner of Group H, likely to be Belgium.

(RECIFE, Brazil) - Germany beat USA 1-0 on a rain-soaked day in Recife, a result that takes both sides through from a highly competitive Group G at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.

A 2-1 win for Portugal over Ghana in the section’s other game was enough to push both the Americans and Germans through on four and seven points respectively.

USA Gets Revenge on Ghana with 2-1 Victory

USA lost starting center-forward Jozy Altidore - stretchered off with a serious looking injury.

(RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil) - A first-minute goal by Clint Dempsey and a late winner from substitute John Brooks helped USA avenge their 2010 exit to Ghana with a 2-1 victory over the Black Stars in Natal.

The hard-fought win leaves Jurgen Klinsmann's side second to Germany only on goal difference in Group G, while Ghana are left alongside Portugal without a point to their name.
