Air Force One gave President Barack Obama the opportunity to watch some of the World Cup soccer match between the United States and Germany.
About midway through the approximately two-and-a-half-hour flight, aides brought still photographers to Obama's airborne conference room to capture him watching the match. Bowls of chips and other snacks were laid out on the table.
Several top aides watched along with Obama, including senior advisers Valerie Jarrett, who sat beside the president, and Dan Pfeiffer.
Germany beat the United States 1-0 Thursday in soggy Recife on Thomas Mueller's 55th-minute goal to win Group G, but the Americans held onto second place when Portugal defeated Ghana 2-1 in a game played simultaneously in Brasilia.The Americans will play the Group H winner Belgium on Tuesday in Salvador.
