The Americans head into Thursday's match with confidence and momentum.
"Everybody could see that we won against Ghana. Germany just got a draw," USA defender Fabian Johnson said, via FIFA.com. "We caught up on Portugal, which nobody was expecting after the first goal. I think you all can see we have grown together as a good group, good team. We have a great team spirit. Everybody's winning for each other, just sacrificing themselves."
USA and Germany both need only a draw to qualify for the knockout round. Still, both sides appear to be after the three points.
"It's not in our nature," Johnson answered when asked about playing for the draw. "We want to win this game, like we did in the qualifying match against Panama so that Mexico could go through. It's just not in our nature to play for a draw."
Germany, one of the top teams in the world, could just as easily end the USA's World Cup trip -- depending on the outcome in the Ghana-Portugal match.
"I think everybody can see that Germany has a great team, great individual players," Johnson said. "I think they're technically good, they try to play straight to the goal. We have to defend as a whole unit again, like we did against Portugal, and we're going to create our chances."
