The head coach of the United States soccer team, Jurgen Klinsmann, has rubbished claims that his team will play out a deliberate draw against Germany when the two teams meet in the final fixture of Group G.
A draw will see both German bosses guide their respective teams to the knock-out phase of the World Cup, but Klinsmann insists they are going into the game with nothing but victory on their minds.
“The message is very simple we want to beat Germany and we want to be first in our group,” he told reporters.
“We are not thinking about a tie we know a tie will get us through as well.
“At the end of the day, if it ends up in tie because its a close game or an exciting game, then so be it but we have our eyes on first place in the group.”
A draw between the two teams will see both of them qualify rendering the result between Ghana’s Black Stars and Portugal insignificant.
The match will take place at the Arena Pernambuco Recife and will kick-off at 16:00 GMT.
