Many of the groups are decided at this stage of the World Cup, but America's "Group of Death" is very much still alive and kicking. The U.S. faces off against Germany today, and as has been the case through the tournament, I've simulated the result using FIFA 14's World Cup mode.
How Accurate Has FIFA 14 Been In Predicting Results So Far?
Perhaps surprisingly, FIFA 14 has this one ending in scoreless draw--does it know something about the suggested conspiracy that we don't? The Germans dominated possession, holding the ball for 65 percent of the game, and kept the U.S. from even registering a shot on target or otherwise.
The heavily favored Germans couldn't find the net themselves, though, including a very close call from Schweinsteiger in the first half. A draw would see both teams advance (hence the rumors that the teams will be content to play for one and not over-exert themselves), so perhaps this will be the result we'll see. I would bet on some scoring, at least, even if it ends in a draw.

The U.S. has been consistently surprising though, and are very unlucky to not already be through to the next round, so I won't rule out anything in this game. Germany are definitely the best team they've played so far and a tournament favorite, but the USMNT has risen to the challenges it has faced so far. Tune in at 12 p.m. ET to see if FIFA will get this one right!
