thatgroup,onJuly1inSal- vador. "It's a good feeling be- cause now it's really just a clear picture for everyone. Just focus on that one op- ponent you have for that next game. ... We'll just talk about one team to beat at a time and this is why I'm really excited" about this next phase, Klinsmann said. Klinsmann was Loew's predecessor and made him his assistant, until Klins- mann quit following Ger- many's third-place finish at the 2006 World Cup at home. Loew then took over and is still looking for his first major title. Klinsmann also warmly embraced Germany play- ers, some of whom got their start under him. Muel- ler got his Bundesliga de- but in August 2008 when Klinsmann was the coach of Bayern Munich. Klinsmann must have had a good nose for talent, since Mueller is on track to retain his Golden Boot title by scoring his fourth goal of the tournament, to go with five he had in 2010. Germany's goal came in the 55th minute after a corner by Mesut Ozil. U.S. goalkeeper Tim How- ard did well to punch out a header by Per Mertesacker but pushed the ball into the path of Mueller who rifled a shot inside the far post from the edge of the pen- alty area. "We clearly dominated the match and we played not a bad game against a top-fit American team," Mueller said. "I finally scored a pretty goal. I man- age it every now and then. We're all terribly ambitious and this ambition can take us very far and I try to give my part in each and every match." Mueller played despite needing five stiches to close a cut above his right eye sustained in the 2-2 draw with Ghana on Sat- urday and still visible five days later. The United States had a chance to level the match in stoppage time, but Ale- jandro Bedoya's low shot inside the box was swept away by the sliding Mario Goetze, a late substitute. The Americans won a cor- ner but Clint Dempsey's header at the far post went high. "We knew it would be a difficult match today. We were ready for that. We controlled the match and did not allow any chances until late in the match," Loew said. "We failed to score a second goal that would have settled the is- sue earlier." Soccer FROMPAGE1 time against a guy like this," Toni Nadal said. "I don't like to lose against a player I find (unprofes- sional)." In 2012's second round, Rosol was ranked 100th, and Nadal was on a streak of having reached the final in five consecutive Wimble- don appearances. The big- swinging, 6-foot-5 Rosol played an unrepentantly risky style that day, aiming for lines and putting shots where he wanted, pulling off a five-set victory. Rosol engaged in some gamesmanship then, in- cluding moving around while waiting to receive serves and, Toni said Thursday, making noise as Rafael was hitting shots. After the rematch, Rosol complained Nadal took too much time between points and lamented that the chair umpire didn't in- tervene. Said Toni about Rosol: "It's normal that we want to win, but it's true that for me, it's worse to lose with him than with an- other guy." Three seeded men lost, including No. 13 Richard Gasquet, who wasted nine match points and was beaten by 19-year-old Nick Kyrgios of Australia 3-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-5, 10-8. Win- ners included No. 5 Stan Wawrinka, No. 8 Milos Ra- onic, No. 9 John Isner and No. 10 Kei Nishikori among the men, and past champi- ons Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova among the women. Nadal's longtime ri- val, seven-time Wimble- don champion Roger Fe- derer, turned in a far more straightforward performance, delivering 25 aces in a 6-3, 7-5, 6-3 win over 103rd-ranked Gilles Muller of Luxem- bourg to get back to the third round, too. Federer's streak of 36 consecutive major quar- terfinals ended at the All England Club with a sec- ond-round defeat last year, part of a tumultuous and unpredictable tournament. This year has gone more to form, so far. Tennis FROM PAGE 1 AUTORACING NASCAR Nationwide Series, John R. Elliott Hero Campaign 300:4:30p.m.,ESPN.

This marks the second straight season the Kings used a top 10 pick on a shooting guard. But Staus- kas is a much more ac- complished shooter than last year's seventh pick Ben McLemore, who shot 38 percent from the field and 32 percent from long range as a rookie, and also showed last year that he has the ability to run an offense as well. "I think I can play mul- tiple positions," he said. "I think I can play a little bit of one and also the two. I know this team has kind of struggled shooting the ball. Obviously, that's probably the best part of my game to this point. Knocking down shots and spreading the floor is something I'm excited to do for this team." The 6-foot-6 Stauskas became one of the nation's most well-rounded offen- sive players, averaging 17.5 points last season on the way to winning Big Ten player of the year honors. Stauskas shot 44 per- cent from 3-point range in two years in college and im- provedhisballhandlingand defense considerably in his second season when he took over a big share of the play- making role with the depar- ture of star point guard Trey Burke to the NBA. Stauskas excelled as a shooter and passer in pick- and-roll situations that are so prevalent in the NBA. "That's the reason why teams have been intrigued with me in the draft is be- cause I made those im- provements," he said. "I feel like I'm a smart bas- ketball player. I have a high IQ for the game and I like making the right plays." Stauskas grew up in Mississauga, Ontario, and followed top pick Andrew Wiggins as the second Ca- nadian taken in the draft. A third Canadian, Tyler Ennis, was taken 18th by Phoenix. The Kings are coming off their eighth straight losing season but are looking for improvement in the second season under owner Vivek Ranadive, general man- ager Pete D'Alessandro and coach Mike Malone. There was little prog- ress in the first year under the new leadership as Sac- ramento went 28-54 for a second straight season as Malone was not able to turn the Kings into the de- fensive-minded team as he had hoped. Sacramento is looking to build around a core led by temperamental power for- ward DeMarcus Cousins, small forward Rudy Gay and point guard Isaiah Thomas. Cousins signed a four-year, $62 million con- tract extension before last season, Gay exercised his $19.2 million option earlier this week and Thomas is expected to stay despite be- ing a restricted free agent. The Kings have strug- gled in recent years to add to the core as first-round picks Jimmer Fredette (2011) and Thomas Rob- inson (2012) are no longer on the team and McLemore struggled as a rookie. Kings FROM PAGE 1 Embiid went third to Philadelphia, drawing loud cheers from the many red- and-blue dressed 76ers fans who made the trip to Barclays Center in Brook- lyn, as well as from Phil- adelphia guard Michael Carter-Williams, last sea- son's Rookie of the Year who was sitting on the arena floor level. The 76ers had two top- 10 picks and could afford to take a chance on Em- biid, the big man who may have ended up the top prize despite his lone season at Kansas ending early be- cause of a bad back. But once the foot injury popped up during workouts, leav- ing his NBA debut uncer- tain after surgery, the two teams at the top passed. "He worked so hard," Wiggins said. "He didn't let nothing get to him. He al- ways stayed motivated. So I'm just proud. It's a proud moment for Kansas. Arizona forward Aaron Gordon went fourth to Or- lando, which also had two picks in the lottery, fol- lowed by Australian guard Dante Exum to Utah. Then came two teams not used to picking so high: The Boston Celt- ics took Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart, with the rival Los Angeles Lak- ers following at No. 7 with Kentucky forward Julius Randle. It was considered a deep draft, with top-level talent stretching toward the bot- tom of the lottery and per- haps beyond. It squeezed itself into the free agency frenzy that kicked off Mon- day, when Carmelo An- thony informed the New York Knicks he would be- come a free agent. LeBron James did the same.
