What scenario do you think is most likely to play out on Thursday vs. Germany?
Time To Move On ...
Be honest: you're still haunted by that Silvestre Varela goal. But there was a lot more to that

Jesse Marsch
helps break down every aspect of the epic match — good and bad — like only a former US World Cup coach can.
But Germany is right around the corner. With just three days left until Thursday's decisive showdown, we have
explain the strengths and weaknesses of
Die Mannschaft
and whether it's actually viable that the teams would settle for the draw that would see both advance.
And lastly, US neighbors Mexico and Costa Rica have moved on: How did they do it? What are their realistic chances in the knockouts? And is there a new CONCACAF hierarchy after the 2014 group stage?
