00:00send-off match on TNT.

00:02There are just 90 minutes of action

00:04remaining before the World Cup

00:06begins for the United States on Friday

00:08against Paraguay. And today

00:10here in Chicago, four-time

00:12world champions Germany provide

00:14the final test before the

00:16tournament. And in this story venue,

00:18Kyle, this crowd has been

00:20whipped up into an absolute frenzy.

00:23I mean, just chills right

00:24now. I was 13 years old the last time

00:26the World Cup was here, and it changed my life forever.

00:28I'm not a professional soccer player without

00:30that tournament. I don't have a career in soccer

00:32without that tournament. These players

00:34have the chance to change millions

00:36of lives of kids that

00:38are going to see this moment

00:40and think what's possible, start to dream

00:42about what soccer could mean to them.

00:44So this is the last chance you and I

00:46get to call a game, and it's been an absolute pleasure,

00:48and then I get to go be a fan and watch this

00:50and enjoy it.

00:52The U.S. coming in off a

00:543-2 win against Senegal a week ago.

00:56Germany were 4-0 winners against Finland

00:58before they departed

00:59from their game in Mainz last

01:02Sunday. In just six more days,

01:04the U.S. will step onto the biggest

01:06stage in the global game.

01:08A history-making moment on

01:10home soil, unlike anything

01:12these players will have experienced before.

01:14But the World Cup send-off game

01:16gets underway here against

01:18a European powerhouse

01:20in Germany, in the sunshine,

01:22at Soldier Field in downtown Chicago.

01:25And a lineup you would think that is pretty close

01:27to the one that Maurizio Pochettino

01:29may well put out against Paraguay

01:32in game one.

01:36Sané moves away.

01:37Loaded in towards the Sunset Bucks!

01:41And Kai Havertz meets it!

01:45And Germany in front, inside!

01:47Two minutes in Chicago!

01:56Well, you can tell by his approach to that.

02:00It looked like Havertz was onside,

02:03but you could tell by his slow gait

02:05and his walk-up.

02:06He's not hitting that one on target.

02:08Just too slow from the U.S.

02:10Freese needs to cheat off his line,

02:11especially as he's starting to see

02:13that's not coming on target.

02:15You can see right there.

02:16I mean, on his line,

02:17has to come out.

02:19And also, it's just too easy for Havertz.

02:20He was very good in the air.

02:23He's never going to miss from there.

02:24Really poor start from the U.S.

02:25What a free kick.

02:29Kimmich, the captain.

02:32Looks for that ball down the right side.

02:34And Sané will get there at the byline.

02:36Pulled back and locked it.

02:37The flag goes off.

02:39Havertz denied a second.

02:45A bit fortunate that that downpour happens

02:48because this ball, I mean, it's just gorgeous.

02:50Lovely backdoor run.

02:51It's that skip.

02:52Look how much speed it takes off the turf.

02:58Tie down the right side.

03:00Finds Mecha.

03:03Now Sané.

03:05Ream across doing the defending.

03:07Vert's ball and it's cleared away by Anthony Robinson.

03:09Drops right on the edge of the box.

03:10That tacit flexion on the way through.

03:14And Twins was able to make the save there

03:18after the Pavlovich shot from the edge of the box.

03:44The game tied up with a moment of absolute magic.

03:53I only have one comment.

03:54You cannot hit a ball any sweeter than this.

04:03Mine.

04:04Yeah.

04:09Oh, boy.

04:13Well, it's the reaction of Wesson McKinney.

04:15Hopefully we get it.

04:16Oh, it's Balogun.

04:17Look at Balogun's reaction.

04:21Have a flip.

04:22Take a bow.

04:29Do you remember the Gold Cup final of many years ago?

04:36Benny Foulhaber with a long-range strike.

04:39Similar to that.

04:41From distance.

04:42It's Balogun.

04:43Balogun across goal.

04:45Goal.

04:46Goal.

04:48Goal.

04:49Goal.

04:50Goal.

04:51Goal.

04:52Goal.

04:54Goal.

04:57Concern over Kulisic here.

04:59He hits the ground hard.

05:00Here comes the tackle.

05:02Right as he takes the touch.

05:04It just hits that ground hard.

05:06It's probably not the contact.

05:07You can see immediately he reaches to his back.

05:09Reverie does a good job to play on.

05:11Absolutely.

05:12They get a chance out of it.

05:15You said it, I was thinking through the Rolodex

05:18My boy

05:19They switched the flip

05:21All helped to Anthony Robbins' goal

05:24But this is exactly what Weston wanted to see

05:26In improving in this game

05:37He managed to dance his way through

05:40But he couldn't keep the shot down

05:44As this ball skips through

05:45Look at how good that is in tight spaces

05:48That little feint with the right foot

05:51Pretending right here like he's going to go outside of the right

05:54Little shimmy

05:54Just gets under it slightly

05:57The U.S. training most of the week

06:00In the incredible new facility in Atlanta

06:02But they were up to Chicago

06:03Fires

06:04Nice new training home as well

06:05Out of this game

06:06This is Pulisic

06:08Pulisic twisting and turning

06:09Christian Pulisic to flip it over

06:11It's another corner

06:12It's wave after wave right now

06:14From the United States

06:15Corner number five incoming

06:46So what I was saying earlier

06:52It starts with the pressure there

06:53From Christian Pulisic

06:54And Todd's so smart

06:56He just knows he can't go in there

06:58And jump in

07:00Pulisic will fly right by him

07:01It's really good defending

07:02And that 99 World Cup changed the game in this country

07:09Tillman towards the edge of the box

07:10It's Anthony Robinson

07:11Here's Christian Pulisic

07:12Pulisic drives it in

07:14And it's another corner on the far side

07:17Two or three opportunities now

07:19Coming the way of Christian Pulisic

07:21Who a week ago got international goal number 33

07:25He takes a great first touch

07:27There's just so many bodies in there

07:28It's a pretty obvious decision for him

07:32To be able to commit to the United States

07:35He gets the chance to face the country of his birth today

07:37Trying down the right side

07:39With the ball in towards Haberts

07:40Bit of space here

07:51It's a good layup

07:52When the ball comes a little bit awkward

07:53It's in the middle of the steps

07:57Always a smile

07:58On the face of Chris Richards

08:03Along the edge of the box

08:04And they're driving by Sonny

08:11Germany back in front

08:21What an incredible first touch

08:22Watch how hard this ball gets rifled in

08:26And very compacted

08:28Just cleans it up

08:29That hurts

08:30And it's the shot that comes through the legs

08:32It's like it's Robinson

08:34And takes a deflection as well

08:36That makes it so hard for Freeze

08:38You know maybe if it doesn't take that deflection

08:40He's right there

08:41He's got to reset his feet

08:43Even with the deflection

08:44Taking some pace off of it

08:45It still has enough pace

08:47A little over 20 minutes remaining here

08:51As Tillman goes back towards McKenzie

09:00Brown just catching Tillman

09:02And the referee

09:02I think is going to his pocket

09:04With a yellow card

09:05Coming for the substitute

09:08Brown the Leipzig fullback

09:10Started all three games in Qatar

09:12And will be heading to his second World Cup

09:18That just really late

09:20That one hurts too

09:21And you can see Plants

09:23The foot cries

09:24The knee into the back of Tillman

09:27It would not have happened

09:28When I was a player

09:28With any of my coaches

09:29There would have been

09:30Absolutely no way

09:31They would have allowed that

09:32In the past

09:33This is Rao

09:36Rao floats it in

09:37Towards the back post

09:38Novelling's ball in

09:39And then over the ball

09:48Let's see what he's trying to do

09:49Lovely first touch back to him

09:51Really quickly get to that

09:54Air post comes to him too

09:55Quickly for him to get up

09:56Off his feet

09:57Not what a start she's had

10:00Shane Pogatino

10:00Good friends

10:01Know each other well

10:02From their time in England

10:04Little halter wide

10:05To the left side

10:09Afton's cross into the middle

10:12Scali battling to try and get there

10:14And Scali from distance

10:15It's drowned by Bauman

10:17Wasn't too far away

10:19From being the levelling goal

10:24Well done from Scali

10:25He's running away from the goal

10:26He doesn't really want to get

10:27Power on that one

10:28I think

10:30Amiri battling

10:34Rams ball across

10:35Headed forward by

10:36Afton

10:36Aronson chasing to get there

10:38But

10:38Valdemar

10:39Anton on the far side

10:40Anton Valdemar

10:42With another chance

10:43To play this one

10:44In towards the edge of the box

10:45It's a chance here

10:45For the shots

10:46Just wide

10:49Nadie Amiri

10:50With a strike

10:51Couldn't test freeze

10:53You've seen so many

10:54Of those cutbacks

10:55From Germany

10:56They always have a player

10:57That's just waiting

10:58Coming to the 18

10:59And into the tournament here

11:01Against Bolivia

11:02With a Klinsman goal

11:03They tied Spain

11:04In the group

11:051-1

11:10Wouldn't see

11:10Cutting in from that

11:11Far side

11:12Aronson

11:13And the way back Bauman

11:17Just opened up so nicely

11:19For him didn't it

11:32Warholter a set piece

11:33Specialist across

11:34To take the 10th corner

11:35Of the game

11:36For the United States

11:41But George Rayner

11:43Not coming from

11:44Goreska

11:46Iron Man who

11:47Missed all of

11:48Qualifying injured

11:50Aronson in for Rayner

11:57Way couldn't keep it down

11:58I think the U.S.

11:59Sometimes got into this

12:00Position and overpassed

12:01At times in the first half

12:02And right there

12:04After that touch

12:04He's just thinking

12:05Shoot

12:05Look at the movement

12:06On that last minute

12:08This would be a good view

12:12Of it

12:13Most of that match

12:15Germany didn't create

12:16A lot of clear

12:16Go to Kansas

12:17Getting better for

12:18Barry

12:18What they do

12:22More of the instigators

12:23Through most of the match

12:26Nice ball through

12:27Piscali

12:29Way was caught

12:30There late

12:31Way was going

12:32To a challenge

12:32Here

12:33That will get him

12:33A yellow car

12:35Because he was frustrated

12:36He didn't get the free kick

12:37Before that

12:42In fact

12:43The referee has shown

12:44This one as well

12:45To

12:46Maximilian Baer

12:48Looked as if

12:49He was waving the card

12:50Towards Scali as well

12:51But it must have been

12:52Where

12:55But there was a challenge

12:56From Baer

12:56That came on

12:57And where

12:58Nothing happened

13:02Well that was

13:02The first challenge

13:03On Scali

13:11The throw in from Brown

13:15Good foot onto that one

13:16By Mackenzie

13:17And Ware up towards Pepe

13:18Who helps that one off

13:19Pepe pushing it forward

13:20Through Reina

13:22Germany

13:23Racing to get back

13:24They want to get a victory here

13:26Heading into the tournament

13:27As well

13:30What a fight that was

13:32There's a huge challenge

13:33Coming in from

13:34Ware on Raum

13:35And the German players

13:36Don't like that

13:37Tart

13:38Is in there

13:39And it's all

13:40Balling off a little bit

13:41Here

13:42In stoppage time

13:43At the end of the

13:44World Cup send-off game

14:10Back here

14:11Back here

14:12Back here

14:15Here's the challenge

14:16It weighs at full speed

14:17At that point

14:19Now listen

14:20People will say

14:21The position of that foot

14:25There's nothing

14:25Nothing wrong with that

14:26It was a really hard

14:27Crunching challenge

14:29Marcio Pochettino

14:30Is on the pitch

14:31Right now

14:35I mean

14:38Pochettino's era

14:39Not only is that

14:40Even contemplated

14:42Maybe be embarrassed

14:44By your own team

14:45If you sat down

14:46And complained about it

14:47I mean

14:48There's some hard

14:49Crunching tackles

14:50In his era

14:50From him

14:52I think of Ayala

14:53And some of those

14:54Argentine defenders

15:04Bauman launches it long

15:05Weyer

15:06Looking to head it

15:07Straight back forward

15:09Leroy Sané

15:11The match winner here

15:14The next time we see

15:24Defeat in the

15:25World Cup

15:25Send-off match

15:27Today

15:28But for an hour

15:30They battled

15:31Against a European

15:33Heavyweight

15:34And at times

15:35They dominated

15:37Leroy Sané

15:39With a winning goal

15:40Anthony Robinson's

15:41Stunning striker
