Germany

Germany defeated the United States, 1-0, in Thursday’s highly-anticipated World Cup match in a rain-soaked Recife, Brazil.

Anticipation is growing, and conversation continues to build, all of which leads up to Thursday’s World Cup matchup between the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team and Germany.

Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt won Germany's third gold medal in luge at the Sochi Olympics, denying Austrian brothers Andreas and Wolfgang Linger a record third straight title.
