Fans love nothing more than watching end-to-end attacking football, and with Germany taking on Ghana, they were always likely to get plenty of that. However, nobody expected the teams to give their everything, going for goal, with each and every moment the ball was in their possession. After Ghana fell short, losing 2-1 against the USA, they were hoping for a better performance against Germany, who were high off of their 4-0 win over Portugal. Ghana came close to winning, but a late equalizer ensured the game finished 2-2.
Germany are a heavy favourite to life the trophy, whilst Ghana were supposed to struggle to get out of their group. Now, Portugal's clash against USA will be key to setting up the third, and final set of group games. Who will qualify alongside Germany? Portugal will need two wins from two, USA would need one, whilst Ghana would need results to go their way and a last day victory.
Will this result be a help of hindrance for Germany in the future? After beating Portugal at ease they were expecting an easy ride to the World Cup final, but this result will bring them down to earth. Could that help them refocus and better their chances of winning the World Cup, or are they simply not good enough?
Although there's been few bad games at the 2014 World Cup, this game was most definitely the top contender for game of the tournament, with many saying it'll be tough to be the entertainment the two teams put on display.
