For the first time in their history, Team Germany has beaten an American national squad as they defeated the USA, represented by the United States Federation of American Football, 14-13 at the World Games in Wroclaw, Poland, in a game which should not have been that close.<\/p>\n

The USFAF team, which almost did not make it to the World Games, was put together, literally within a couple of days.<\/p>\n

With barely one practice under their belts and a roster which was below the minimum 45, a rag tag United States team took the field to face a well-prepared German team  in the middle of the regular season in Germany.<\/p>\n

And it showed as Team Germany controlled much of the play. Nevertheless, Team USA battled.<\/p>\n

After a quiet first quarter, in which Germany missed a chance to take the lead on a missed field goal, Team Germany opened the scoring. Quarterback Alexander Haupert connected with 6\u20199\u2033 wide receiver Aurieus Adegbesan on a 43 yard touchdown pass and Thomas Rauch kicked the extra point to give the Germans a 7-0 lead.<\/p>\n

The United States responded on the next series with quarterback Dustin Hawke Willingham, who was struggling to find any kind of rhythm, finally finding Terry Gaitor for a 47 yard touchdown. John Moorhead kicked the extra point and the score was tied at halftime.<\/p>\n

The Americans entered the third quarter with some momentum and began to take charge as Hawke Willingham led his team on a long drive, capping it with a 26 yard touchdown to Tyrell Banks giving Team USA a 13-7 lead. The missed extra point proved to be crucial.<\/p>\n

With Haupert replaced at quarterback by Sonny Weishaupt, Germany began to take control in the fourth quarter. Weishaupt finally led his team on an extended drive, finishing it off with a 28 yard touchdown pass to Kwame Ofori. Thomas Rauch kicked the extra point to take a 14-13 lead.<\/p>\n

Team Germany then held on for the win.<\/p>\n

Turnovers proved to be costly for Team USA as the American quarterback threw four interceptions.<\/p>\n

This was not the first time a USFAF team has lost to European competition. In 2012, Team Denmark defeated them 49-20.<\/p>\n

In the second semifinal, Team France defeated Poland 28-2. Germany will face France in the gold medal final on Monday, July 24 while Team USA will play Poland in the bronze medal game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
