Any chance we see Germany and USA basically just play to tie? A draw guarantees they both advance. The US would probably be happy just advancing and not having to outgun Germany, and Germany would get to avoid Belgium in the round of 16 by finishing 1st. Not saying they'd both intentionally throw the game to end in a tie, but rather just play ultra-conservative in the hopes of that happening. I don't know enough about soccer or the World Cup to know if teams would actually do that.
