Soccer is a game of opportunity and skill, with a dose of luck.

Player for player the German squad is slightly more experienced.

That being said, the game broke the way it did. The US Men's team had every opportunity to win or tie...

That's why it's the World Cup.

I think the real test will be Belgium.
