00:00With MLS teams Brady Wright here in Chicago, Matt Turner with New England Revolution, and Freeze with NYCFC, Aronson.
00:10Now Roldan.
00:15Aronson gets the chance to get into the game having missed a couple of days of training before that Senegal
00:21game as he went and got married.
00:25Maurizio Pochettino was talking ahead of this game about the decision to allow Aronson to leave.
00:30This is Rao down the left side and Freeze is able to claim.
00:34He said you have to be a lot more human these days and take things into account that are going
00:39to make people happy and get players to be in confident mood and where they want to be.
00:44He said, however, it would not have happened when I was a player with any of my coaches.
00:48There would have been absolutely no way they would have allowed that in the past.
00:51This is Rao.
00:54Down close it in towards the back post.
00:56Nivelling's ball in and then open the bar by Undav.
01:06You can see what he's trying to do.
01:08A lovely first touch back to Undav.
01:10Nice to really quickly get to that near post.
01:13Comes to him too quickly for him to get up off his feet and not it down.
01:22Tart underneath it, chest this one towards halfway, free kick in in the way of Germany.
01:2963,636, the crowd inside Soldier Field, and they have given this team a wonderful send-off from the stands
01:37for sure.
01:43The high ball out towards the far side for Lavelling.
01:49Lavelling the substitute.
01:53One goal in four previous camps for the 25-year-old Stuttgart man.
02:08U.S. Soccer on TNT is presented by Coca-Cola, proud partner of U.S. Soccer.
02:15Lavelling chasing down the right side here as he tries to put pressure on and defended there by Max Arsten.
02:22In it comes here towards Sebastian Berhalter.
02:27Gauracca, one of the four changes about to come for Germany here.
02:36Nadeem Amiri, the Mainz man, also getting set to come in.
02:43Steele, the defensive midfielder from Stuttgart.
02:53And here come the Changes from Nagasman.
02:56All right.
03:02I.
03:02I believe.
03:03I believe.
03:04I believe.
03:04I believe that we, I believe that we will win.
03:07I believe that we will win, I believe that we will win, I believe that we will win, I believe
03:12that we will win.
03:23A little later on today, the second game of our U.S. national team's doubleheader,
03:29U.S. women's national team in Brazil, for the first of two games they'll play again on Tuesday night,
03:35but they will kick off in Brazil a little over an hour after this game finishes as Emma Hayes prepares
03:43her side for a World Cup as well,
03:45coming in Brazil next year, and wonderful preparation for them to be able to go and play two games in
03:51the conditions,
03:52in the stadiums that they might be in, to be able to get that experience 12 months out from a
03:58World Cup.
03:59What a start she's had.
04:01She and Pochettino, good friends, know each other well from their time in England.
04:05Her hand, well Holter wide to the left side.
04:11Austin's cross into the middle.
04:14Scali battling to try and get there, and Scali from distance, is tipped off by Bauman.
04:19Wasn't too far away from being the leveling goal.
04:26Well done from Scali, he's running away from the goal.
04:28Doesn't really want to get power on that one, I think.
04:32I mean, it's probably going wide, but he had to be sure of it, because he was hit so cleanly.
04:42Joe Scali still looking for a first international goal.
04:45There's cap number 26 for the 23-year-old from Lake Grove, New York.
04:51Great delivery into the box, headed away by Tartt.
05:01And that looked like it went out of play, but play continuing here as it comes in towards Aronson.
05:09And now, did the flag go up? It did, eventually.
05:15Watch this. Okay, Berhalter.
05:17Confident food.
05:20Couldn't quite keep it in play there, but Sebastian Berhalter.
05:23I would love to see the reaction of his dad.
05:26If I ever did that, I did that sometimes in training when his dad was there,
05:31and Eden would have knocked my head off for trying that.
05:33But he pulled that off. That was smooth.
05:36Brent Berhalter now head coach of the hometown team here in Chicago.
05:39The Fire, who play in this stadium in MLS.
05:47Eight minutes plus stoppage time remaining.
05:54Scali in there with the first challenge.
05:57Amiri battling.
06:01Rams ball across.
06:02Headed forward by Arfston.
06:03Aronson chasing to get there, but...
06:05Faldemar, Anton on the far side.
06:08Anton Faldemar with another chance to play this one in towards the edge of the box.
06:12It's a chance here for the shots just wide!
06:16Nadiem Amiri with a strike.
06:18Couldn't test-freeze.
06:20You've seen so many of those cutbacks from Germany.
06:23They always have a player that's just waiting, coming to the 18 and he...
06:28It's a beautiful, beautiful strike.
06:31One goal in ten caps previous to today for the Mainz man.
06:36Missed the November and March windows due to injury.
06:42It was 3-1 last time these teams met, and it was close to being 3-1 there.
06:53You talk before the game about what the last home World Cup meant to you.
07:00It's incredible to think we are now just seven minutes plus stoppage time away from it.
07:04Happening again now.
07:06And the memories that will be created right across the country.
07:13For the kids, for the older ones as well.
07:16I'm going to that first match with my brother and one of my childhood teammates.
07:20It's gonna be special.
07:22A bit challenging now on the far side as it's brought forward by Arfsten.
07:30Back for Gio Reyna.
07:43Gio Reyna.
07:45Gio Reyna.
07:45Gio Reyna.
07:45Gio Reyna.
07:45Gio Reyna.
07:46Gio Reyna.
07:46Gio Reyna.
07:47Gio Reyna.
07:50Gio Reyna.
07:51Gio Reyna.
07:51Gio Reyna.
07:51Gio Reyna.
07:52Gio Reyna.
07:52Gio Reyna.
07:52Gio Reyna.
07:52Gio Reyna.
07:53Gio Reyna.
07:54Gio Reyna.
07:58Gio Reyna.
07:59giving most of his starting line-up around an hour today
08:02before the changes started to come for the United States.
08:05Here's Reina, one of those players that came in during the second half.
08:10Trusty.
08:17Coming up next, the CBS Health post-game show.
08:23Demarcus Beasley, Brian Dunseth, Brad Guzan
08:26breaking this one down today.
08:28Kyle will join them as well.
08:29And Tim Ware is penalized there for the foul.
08:34Ram, the player that is down.
08:38I think Ram's a little bit fortunate here.
08:41I mean, no, that's a foul.
08:43I love when you make your call earlier.
08:45The replay is completely confident.
08:48Guys, before that play,
08:50it didn't seem like Mauricio was very happy.
08:52They were in their attacking side of the field.
08:54USA attacking half of the field in possession.
08:57But then passed the ball back to Matt Freese.
09:00It looks like, you know, he was pointing in.
09:02We've got to go forward.
09:03We've got to play forward, especially at this time of the match.
09:06Didn't look like he was happy with that one.
09:10A little flick on here.
09:11Undav can't get there as it rolls through towards Matt Freese.
09:15They've got to start taking some chances.
09:17There's a timidity and almost a complacency on the ball,
09:20especially when Germany's getting back on that mid to low block.
09:24Got to take some chances.
09:25Got to try to take some players on or just try to get that back line to spin and face
09:30their own goal.
09:31It's been so easy for them to just shift and watch the U.S. take the ball east and west.
09:36Great venue for the send-off game and stadium here at Soldier Field.
09:40The U.S. playing in for the 17th time.
09:43Three Gold Cup finals here as well.
09:45We talked about that Benefell Harbour strike.
09:472007, the 2-1 win against Mexico.
09:51The win against Panama in 2013.
09:54Brett Shea scored that day.
09:57And of course, this is a venue that hosted World Cup games in 1994.
10:02Three of them included Germany.
10:03They won their opening match of the tournament here against Bolivia with a Klinsman goal.
10:08They tied Spain in the group 1-1.
10:15They didn't see him cutting in from that far side.
10:17Harrison!
10:18And the way by Bauman.
10:22Just opened up so nicely for him, didn't it?
10:37Borholta, a set-piece specialist across to take the 10th corner of the game for the United States.
10:47What's towards Reyna?
10:48And a block coming from Goreska.
10:51Bayern man who missed all of qualifying injured.
10:55Aaronson in for Reyna.
11:02Bayern couldn't keep it down.
11:04I think the U.S. has sometimes gotten to this position and overpassed at times in the first half.
11:08And right there after that touch, he's just thinking, shoot.
11:10Look at the movement on that last minute.
11:13This would be a good view of it.
11:17It's a good save.
11:19Even though it's near him, it's the movement almost came back on him at the last moment.
11:23Great strike.
11:29Well, for much of this afternoon here, in downtown Chicago, the United States went toe-to-toe with the number
11:3910-ranked Germany.
11:41As this one's held back by Tom Heppi putting the pressure on.
11:46And there were times when they were dominating, especially towards the end of the first half.
11:50Maurizio Pottettino's men had chances to try and take the lead.
12:01Sané's goal right now, in the 57th minute, assisted by Havertz.
12:07He's got to win this one for Germany.
12:17Lots of positives to take away from that first hour.
12:20Absolutely.
12:23We call that both teams 11, which you easily can.
12:27Yep.
12:28And that's defensible.
12:29The U.S. is 11, definitely outplayed Germany through most of that match.
12:33And Germany didn't create a lot of clear goalscoring chances.
12:37Getting better for bearing the ones that they did.
12:42Where the instigators threw most of the match.
12:45Nice ball through for Scali.
12:49And Ware was caught there late, and Ware has gone into a challenge here that will get him a yellow
12:53card.
12:54Because he was frustrated he didn't get the free kick before that.
13:02In fact, the referee has shown this one as well to Maximilian Bair.
13:08Looked as if he was waving the card towards Scali as well, but it must have been Ware.
13:14But there was a challenge from Bair that came on on Ware.
13:17Nothing happened.
13:21Well, that was the first challenge on Scali.
13:32But at times has been a feisty affair, hasn't it as well?
13:35Nobody taking it easy.
13:38Well, Bair definitely got the yellow.
13:43As we move into stoppage time here, our stoppage time presented by Mario Bonvoy.
13:48Six minutes left for the United States in the final game before the World Cup begins.
14:04The throw-in from Brown.
14:07Good foot onto that one by Mackenzie, and Ware up towards Pepe, who helps that one off.
14:11Pepe pushing it forward through Reyna.
14:15Germany racing to get back.
14:16They want to get a victory here, heading into the tournament as well.
14:21Aronson battling with Tarr.
14:23What a fight that was, and a huge challenge coming in from Ware on Raum,
14:27and the German players don't like that.
14:30Tarr is in there, and it's all boiling off a little bit here
14:34in stoppage time at the end of the World Cup's end-off game.
14:37And the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the
14:42other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one,
14:46the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other
14:48one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the
14:48other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one,
14:48the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other
14:49one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the
14:50other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one, the other one,
14:56the other one, the other one,
15:07And here's the challenge it wears at full speed at that point now listen to this people will say the
15:13position of that foot
15:17There's nothing nothing wrong with that is a really hard crunching challenge
15:21Marcio Pochettino is on the pitch right now
15:28I mean
15:30Pochettino's era not only is that even contemplated
15:35Maybe be embarrassed by your own team if you sat down and complained about it
15:39I mean there's some hard crunching tackles in his era from him
15:44I think of Ayala and some of those Argentine defenders over here. Oh boy
15:53Four more minutes of stoppage time left to be played
16:01Everybody up on the bench as well all the substitutes the guys that started and came off are all
16:08Lined up along the edge of the technical area right into this one right now and most of the action
16:12going on right in front of the U.S.
16:13bench here as where's throw comes back towards sebastian berhalter
16:42Berhalter down
16:43This just brings me back to game one Marcio Pochettino telling us he wants his team to be aggressive
16:47He wants his team to be intense
16:49He's used to that Argentine and South American football and honestly
16:54proud moment that this U.S. Men's National Team is showing that
16:58Late in the game last game before the World Cup starts
17:02Just that in itself is sending a message
17:04If this is what the send-off is like imagine what the real thing will be and don't forget what
17:09happened at the end of that Paraguay friendly in Chester last fall as well
17:13A bit of history between those two teams got into a bit of a scuffle in stoppage time at the
17:19end of that game in november
17:30And it goes for a goal kick here with a little over two minutes remaining
17:36It's next Friday in LA against Paraguay for the United States the U.S. winning the last three games against
17:42Paraguay
17:42including 2-1 in Chester in november with Reyna and Balogun goals then
17:47on to seattle on
17:49June 19th to take on australia who they beat by two goals to one in october and had you right
17:55scored twice
17:56But this will be the first competitive meeting and it happens in a world cup and the group stage comes
18:00to a close
18:01Back in LA with a six all-time meeting against turkey a on june 25th
18:19A little heated at times here today a little heated as well in a couple of friendlies around the world
18:24including chile portugal
18:27Well, there was a bit of a scrap this time Goretzka goes down
18:32I love the attitude of the players that have come in this game
18:35Trying to make a difference last game against senegal same thing wholesale changes attitude didn't drop intensity didn't drop
18:41They want to go win this game
18:49Back it comes to mckenzie on halfway
18:51Give me give me
18:58Aronson's ball backwards reina down the line
19:01Trusty pushing it forward after the byline can't quite keep that one in play
19:13I think pochettino side
19:15Have answered a lot of questions in the recent performances the only question left i think is the help of
19:21richards everything else this team is ready for that first game
19:28I think it's going to be the best game for that first game
19:33Bauman launches it long we're looking to head it straight back forward
19:38Leroy sanay the match winner here
19:44The next time we see this u.s. men's national team will be in the opening game of the home
19:50world cup
19:51Maurizio pochettino's men falling to defeat in the world cup send-off match here in chicago today
19:58But for an hour they battled against a european heavyweight and at times they dominated
20:07Leroy sanay with the winning goal anthony robinson's stunning striker highlight today
20:13To level things after havert's early goal had given germany the lead
20:17And it finishes here united states one germany two in the world cup send-off match
