Since the subject of the draw was raised after US tied Portugal on Sunday night in a high-octane 2-2 game, Klinsmann, US Soccer president Sunil Gulati and a host of players have all repeatedly shot down rumors that the team will consent with a draw against Germany. Gulati, at one point, was noted to have bristled at that thought of trying to assure everyone that no such thing would happen.
The team would be leaving this year's World Cup in a disappointing draw against Costa at 0-0, the Guardian said. Although it is a scoreless game, Costa Rica nonetheless emerged winner of their Group D category and would now advance to the knockout stages.
Bosnia and Herzegovina fans are not convinced that Nigeria did secure that victory. Buzzfeed said that a goal by Bosnian's Edin Dzeko was incorrectly ruled out for offside minutes ahead of Odemwingie's goal. A petition on Change.org is calling for O'Leary's ouster, with over 23,000 backing the call to remove the referee who made the offside goal call.
