USA national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann insists that old friendships will have to be forgotten when his team meets the German eleven. Current "Die Mannschaft" strategist Joachim Low previously worked as an assistant to J. Klinsmann at the helm of the German national team, but the coach who trained the Germans from 2004-2006 claims that there is no time for sentimental feelings. "Jogi will do his job, and I will do mine. My task is to do everything to get the USA into the quarterfinals. There will be no time for reminiscing, it will be just business." "The USA team always gives their all on the field. We are characterized by team spirit, determination, and stubbornness. We will travel to Recife with the ambition to defeat the Germans. I believe in my team's abilities," said the 49-year-old strategist. Germany and USA national teams will clash for the top spot in Group G on Thursday, June 26, at 19:00 Lithuanian time.
