The USMNT enters a World Cup on home soil trying to tread on new ground, while Germany is out to match Brazil’s record five triumphs at this summer‘s tournament.
The two nations collide in Chicago on Saturday, as both Mauricio Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann, once a pair of highly venerated coaches at the club level in Europe, put the finishing touches on each of their teams’ World Cup preparations.
The U.S. gets underway on Friday against Paraguay, looking to take command of a should-be winnable group. Germany’s opening is rather tricky, with both Ecuador and Côte d’Ivoire capable of springing a surprise.
And while the Germans have struggled to assert themselves at this tournament since prevailing in 2014, they’re a nation you simply cannot write off. The USMNT, meanwhile, produced an encouraging performance against Senegal last time out, but gauging exactly where they’re at right now is tough.
Perhaps we’ll learn a whole lot more in the Windy City this weekend. Here’s how you can tune into the upcoming pre-World Cup friendly.
