<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thomas Mueller scored his fourth goal of the World Cup on Friday as Germany defeated the United States 1-0 to win Group G ahead of the Americans, who also advanced to the knockout stage of the World Cup despite losing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With two wins and a draw, Germany topped the group with seven points, while the U.S. progressed with four. Portugal beat Ghana 2-1 but both were eliminated. Portugal also finished with four points but the U.S. had a better goal difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mueller scored in the 55th minute with a side-footed shot from the edge of the area as tropical downpours drenched the Arena Pernambuco.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both teams knew before kickoff that a draw would see them through, but neither held back. The game pitted Germany coach Joachim Loew against his good friend and predecessor Juergen Klinsmann, now in charge of the U.S. team.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCZnZpMVzBg" target="_blank">MATCH PREVIEW with HIGHLIGHT: USA vs. Germany</a></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The two coaches smiled as they shook hands and patted each other on the shoulder after the match.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Germany’s goal came after a corner by Mesut Ozil. U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard did well to punch out a header by Per Mertesacker but the ball fell kindly to Mueller, who pounced on the rebound and rifled a shot inside the far post from the edge of the penalty area. Mueller played despite needing five stiches to close a cut above his right eye sustained in the 2-2 draw with Ghana on Saturday and still visible five days later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The United States had a chance to level the match in stoppage time, but Alejandro Bedoya’s low shot inside the box was swept away by the sliding Mario Goetze, a late substitute. The Americans got a corner but Clint Dempsey’s header at the far post went high.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Loew reshuffled his lineup by bringing in forward Lukas Podolski for Goetze and midfielder Sebastian Schweinsteiger for Sami Khedira. Center back Geoff Cameron was replaced in the U.S. lineup by Omar Gonzalez.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There were many empty seats in the Arena Pernambuco when the match kicked off but fans streamed in during the first half, apparently delayed by traffic jams as torrential rain flooded parts of this northeastern Brazilian city.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Germany was quicker off the mark and Howard intercepted a low cross from Podolski before Michael Bradley made a good clearance and Gonzalez defended well to deny Mueller a shot from close range. Howard’s 103th cap was a record for a U.S. goalkeeper and he did well to stop Ozil’s shot in the 35th minute.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Graham Zusi had the first good shot for the U.S. but his effort in the 22nd went high.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Referee Ravshan Irmatov of Uzbekistan collided accidentally with Jermaine Jones in the 28th and the American midfielder went down hard but got up. The referee shrugged off the challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Miroslav Klose came on for Podolski at the start of the second half but failed to score and grab sole possession of the World Cup scoring record that he now shares with Brazil’s Ronaldo at 15.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ozil beat Gonzalez to a cross at the start of the second half but sent his header high, while Klose connected with a cross from Schweinsteiger but was off balance and did not get off a clean header.</div>

Switzerland got three goals from Xherdan Shaqiri to beat Honduras and edge Ecuador to a World Cup round-of-16 matchup against Argentina. France also advanced to the knockout phase, where it will play Nigeria.Switzerland beat Honduras 3-0 yesterday to finish runner-up in Group E behind France, which drew 0-0 with Ecuador. France ended with seven points, one more than the Swiss, with Ecuador two further back and Honduras on none.France will play Group F runner-up Nigeria June 30, a day before Switzerland takes on Argentina for a place in the quarterfinals.“They have really great qualities, they’re fast,” France coach Didier Deschamps said about his round-of-16 opponent. “We’re going to have to fight.”Today, the U.S. and Germany will both progress if their Group G game in Recife, Brazil, ends in a draw. Portugal and Ghana are on one point each and both need a win coupled with a loss for the U.S. or Germany to have any chance of advancing.In Group H in Sao Paulo, Korea plays Belgium, which has already advanced, while Algeria takes on Russia in Curitiba. Belgium has six points, three more than Algeria, while Russia and Korea each have one point.Three GoalsShaqiri scored for Switzerland in the sixth, 31st and 71st minutes in Manaus. He opened the scoring with a curling long-range shot, added the next with a low shot and got his third with another left-foot shot.It’s the first time a Swiss player has scored three goals in a World Cup game since Josef Huegi got a hat-trick in a 7-5 quarterfinal loss against Austria in the 1954 edition.France had the best chances in Rio De Janeiro, peppering goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez with 13 shots on target. Ecuador’s Antonio Valencia was dismissed early in the second half for raking his foot down the leg of France’s Lucas Digne.Earlier in Group F, Argentina beat Nigeria 3-2 in a result that allowed both teams to advance as tournament newcomer Bosnia-Herzegovina overcame Iran 3-1 for its first World Cup victory.Argentina finished atop the group with nine points after winning all of its games. Nigeria earned four points, one more than Bosnia, and Iran got one.Messi DoubleArgentina got two goals from Lionel Messi and one from Marcos Rojo after allowing the Nigerians to twice tie the game in Porto Alegre with goals from Ahmed Musa.“We improved, were more mobile, passed the ball better and were quicker,” Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella said. “The further into the tournament we go, the more we’re finding our rhythm. The structure of the side is getting much better.”Argentina took the lead for good when the ball came off Rojo’s knee and went into the Nigerian goal in the 50th minute, three minutes after Musa scored his second. The Nigerian also scored in the fourth minute, between goals from Messi in the third and 45th minutes.Messi, a four-time World Player of the Year, has scored four times in the World Cup and has 10 goals in his past eight games for his country.Iran still had a chance to advance to the next round going into its game with Bosnia in Salvador.The European team opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when Edin Dzeko fired a left-footed shot from outside the box. Bosnia doubled its lead in the 59th minute, when midfielder Miralem Pjanic notched his first goal of the World Cup.Reza Ghoochannejhad directed in a cross for Iran’s first goal of the event in the 82nd minute. Less than a minute later, Bosnia re-opened a two-goal lead as defender Avdija Vrsajevic scored on a counter-attack with a shot that went in off the post.To contact the reporters on this story: Christopher Elser in Rio de Janeiro at celser@bloomberg.net; Dex McLuskey in Dallas atdmcluskey@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Christopher Elser at celser@bloomberg.net Dex McLuskey, Jay Beberman</div>
