賽事前瞻：美國VS德國
當地媒體的聲音
Despite Germany dropping points and looking fallible, Bild remained upbeat but offered coach Jogi Low a few pointers. "Jogi have to rebuild so we do not cut off prematurely, as was the Spain and England," it said via a very crude language translation. The main change? Moving Philip Lahm back from midfield to right-back. "After two games is certain: this does not work! There is no better rights defenders in the world than Lahm - so it must be as well to go back."
盡管德國隊已經丟分，且看上去很容易犯錯，德國《圖片報》還是看好德國取勝，但對主帥勒夫提出幾點建議。《圖片報》稱，“勒夫必須改造陣容，以免像西班牙和英格蘭那樣提前出局?！敝饕兓繉⒗窂闹袌龀坊赜液笮l?！皟蓤霰荣愡^后，我們非?？隙ǎ豪反蚝笱翢o作用！拉姆是世界第一右后衛，他最好還是回到他熟悉的位置。”
USA Today took the positives from USA's 2-2 draw with Portugal. "This was simply a team still maturing and developing. A team that has to learn how to finish out big games," it wrote. "Tackle that first. Then we can we start talking seriously about winning the World Cup." Seriously.
美國媒體《今日美國報》從美國2-2戰平葡萄牙的比賽中看到希望?！斑@是一只不斷成熟、不斷發展的隊伍。這支隊伍必須學會如何拿下硬仗，先解決德國，之后我們可以認真考慮奪冠了。”說真的，確實如此。
Key battle: Michael Bradley vs Kroos/Schweinsteiger/Lahm
關鍵對位：布拉德利VS 克羅斯/施魏因斯泰格/拉姆
Having replaced Clint Dempsey as the USA's MVP, the non-stop 'son of Bob' Bradley was the key man against Portugal, dominating the passing stats and ball recoveries stat and regulating the Americans' tempo. If the USA are to remain composed enough to take the point they need, Bradley will have to be at his best – a tough assignment against Toni Kroos, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Philipp Lahm (if Bild allows), or whoever Germany choose to play in the more defensive midfield role.
布拉德利還在進步，這位前美國主帥之子是對陣葡萄牙一戰的關鍵球員，他傳接球次數冠絕全隊，場控球隊節奏，并取代鄧普西成為美國隊的最佳球員。如果美國隊沉著應戰，想拿到分數的話，布拉德利的狀態必須達到最佳，來對抗德國隊的中場球員，包括托尼·克羅斯、施魏因斯泰格、拉姆（如果《圖片報》允許的話 ）或是任何有可能出任防守型中場的球員，這將是非常困難的任務。
