donderdag 26 juni 2014 Up at 4:11. Watch France 24. It's an exciting day today for the World Cup - 7 teams battle it out for 3 spots in World Cup’s second round. In the finely balanced Group G, USA takes on Germany while Ghana play Portugal, with all four teams still capable of qualifying for the next round. Soccer octopus predicts USA - Germany outcome.

Today in WEBNEWS, a Taiwanese street performer - Isaac Hou - in action. Fried egg and potatoes for breakfast. I'm FREEEEEE! I'm off from work. World Cup for me!

O-Oh! Heavy rain causes traffic chaos in Recife before U.S.-Germany game. Lineups are announced and players are warming up. BBC News' Barin Masoud in New York City: "We're in Dumbo, Brooklyn, under the Manhattan Bridge archway where there are about 500 people watching the game. Lots of patriotism in the air with "USA USA" chants already. Flags are draped over people's bodies and paint on their faces."

Got to love the Live Report! In the studium, a guy dressed in a Captain America outfit.

Alan Green - BBC Radio 5 live: "Am I jinxed? How many goalless draws have I seen in Brazil? This is the sixth game I've commentated on at this World Cup, and I've only seen seven goals so far." Jermaine Jones.

Thomas Muller just nonchalantly steers it back. Goal. Effortless. I can hear the groans in the KOMO Radio office. USA 0-1 Germany - Thomas Muller. Former Republic of Ireland defender Mark Lawrenson: "It is a super strike from Thomas Muller, that's what he does - drifts into space where no-one picks him up. It was a really good save from Howard initially but the USA were caught asleep at the original set-piece. Now Germany are smelling blood." The States just looking a bit tense as they know that they are in a precarious position now. Turn on RTBF. Why are the Belgians all worked up? Oh... It's South Korean - Belgium at 1 PM. Three hours before their match, they're doing commentary. '84 - Substitution, USA. DeAndre Yedlin replaces Graham Zusi. Local boy. O'Dea High School. Can you save the day? 90'+4' USA 0, Germany 1. Look a #5 - Matt Besler.
