Karl-Heinz Rummenigge thinks it'll be us and Deutschland through to the knockouts.

...It's on?

The former Bayern and West German striker spoke to KICKTV's Jimmy Conrad while the channel was on a recent tour of Bayern Munich (watch the video above), and when asked about the prospects for the US in Brazil, he was optimistic at their chances.

"Two teams I'm seeing as favorites to qualify for the next round are Germany, and maybe this will surprise you, the States," Rummenigge said.

In part, he's high on the US because of their coach.

"I believe they have an interesting team and I know Jurgen Klinsmann, who is totally motivated," he said.
