U.S. and Germany goalless at halftime

RECIFE Brazil (Reuters) - The United States and Germany were goalless at halftime in their World Cup Group G match on Thursday, a result that would see both teams qualify for the last 16.

Germany looked the most likely to break the deadlock with the U.S. defence scrambling away several dangerous crosses and Omar Gonzalez making some last ditch tackles as the European side surged forward.
