The USMNT heads into a home World Cup looking to make history, while Germany aims to equal Brazil's record of five tournament victories this summer.
The two sides meet in Chicago on Saturday, as Mauricio Pochettino and Julian Nagelsmann — both once highly regarded club managers in Europe — put the final touches on their respective squads' World Cup preparations.
The U.S. kicks things off on Friday against Paraguay, aiming to take control of what should be a manageable group. Germany faces a trickier opener, with both Ecuador and Côte d'Ivoire capable of causing an upset.
While the Germans have found it difficult to impose themselves at this tournament since their 2014 triumph, they remain a side no one can afford to dismiss. The USMNT, for their part, delivered a promising display against Senegal in their last outing, though pinning down their current form remains a challenge.
Perhaps the Windy City will provide some answers this weekend. Here's everything you need to know about tuning into this pre-World Cup friendly.
