The United States will have life after the Group of Death at the 2014 World Cup.

There would be no nightmare scenario for the U.S. team as the final Group G matches were played simultaneously in Brazil on Thursday. The U.S. was defeated 1-0 by Germany in Recife but still advanced into the Round of 16 as Portugal defeated Ghana 2-1 in Brasilia.

“Tremendous energy, tremendous effort from the whole side,” U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann told ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap on the field after the game. “It’s huge. It’s huge for us getting out of this group when everybody said we had no chance. We took our chance.”
