USMNT vs. Germany live updates: Lineups, how to watch, score, latest news from pre-World Cup friendly

What a strike by Antonee Robinson to equalize for the U.S. in the 37th minute. It’s his fifth international goal and what a way to mark the occasion.

20’ – After having to defend in the early minutes of the match and allowing a goal, the U.S. has taken advantage of their counter press to create opportunities in the Germany end of the pitch. Sergiño Dest had a chance sail over the bar and Folarin Balogun has started to ask questions of the visitors’ defense.

A Tyler Adams foul just outside the U.S. box gave Germany a free kick from a dangerous area. Joshua Kimmich’s curling ball finds Kai Havertz for an easy goal and an early lead on the game’s first shot attempt.

The U.S. and Germany have kicked off from Soldier Field in Chicago. It’s the final match for both teams before they begin the World Cup.

Mauricio Pochettino’s starting XI today looks like what many suspect will take the field at SoFi Stadium on Friday night against Paraguay, minus Chris Richards for Miles Robinson.

Both teams have agreed to allow 11 substitutions in three windows during the match. We’ll see how many minutes Pochettino gives today’s starters.

USMNT subs: 1-Matt Turner, 25-Chris Brady, 4-Tyler Adams, 6-Auston Trusty, 7-Gio Reyna, 9-Ricardo Pepi, 11-Brenden Aaronson, 14-Sebastian Berhalter, 15-Cristian Roldan, 18-Max Arfsten, 19-Haji Wright, 21-Tim Weah, 22-Mark McKenzie, 23-Joe Scally, 26-Alex Zendejas

Chris Richards is not dressed.

Pochettino makes five changes with goalkeeper Matt Freese, defender Miles Robinson, midfielders Weston McKennie and Malik Tillman and forward Folarin Balogun in today’s starting XI.

Chris Richards will not play in the final U.S. tuneup before the World Cup, coach Mauricio Pochettino said Friday, raising doubts about the top defender’s availability for the start of the tournament next week.

“He’s training [and making progress] but still he’s not ready to compete and to play” against Germany on Saturday at Chicago’s Solder Field, Pochettino said.
