"I would never have been able to imagine, when I was small, that one day I would be with Harrison Ford and Chewbacca. It was difficult because I had to restrain my emotions and control myself to be able to do my work. But it was a real dream to be part of this phenomenon," he added.

BERLIN, June 26 (Xinhua) -- Germany has never failed to get past the group stage at the World Cup and this year is no exception. By beating the USA through a Thomas Mueller goal in the 55th minute, Joachim Loew's team has comfortably topped Group G in Brazil. Juergen Klinsmann's team, however Scontate Scarpe Uomo Nike Air Presto Essential Nere Blu , can count themselves lucky to have qualified for the last 16 as runners-up as Portugal's 2-1 win against Ghana was not enough for them to finish above the Americans.
Germany's head coach Joachim Loew changed his team by bringing in Bastian Schweinsteiger in central midfield and Lukas Podolski on the left wing for Mario Goetze. With Schweinsteiger in the thick of the action, Germany bossed play right from the kick-off. The three up front, Podolski, Thomas Mueller and Mesut Oezil were continuously changing positions Scarpe Donne Nike Air Presto Nere Rosa Scontate , with Mueller moving continuously from the center to both flanks and back.
German had a lot of possession. Schweinsteiger and Kroos played slightly further up the pitch, as did the German defense, to move into space quicker and stifle Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey and US counterattacks.
Everything worked well in the first 15 minutes despite the atrocious conditions as it had rained for hours before the start of the game. The Germans were constantly changing the pace of the game to make the US defense work harder. In the first ten minutes alone Scarpe Donne Nike Air Presto Grigie Rosa Scontate , Mueller came close to scoring on three occasions but lacked the precision he showed in the first game against Portugal.
The final deadly pass was not coming off. Every now and again the transition from defense to attack was too slow. But Loew's team wasn't intent on taking too many risks but they nevertheless controlled play in the first half and made far fewer mistakes than in the Ghana match. Team USA found more space towards the end of the first half but were unable to capitalize.
Then Loew sent on Miroslav Klose for Podolski who was not able to break down the US.
