Christian Pulisic ended a 22-game goal drought as the USMNT clicked into gear spectacularly last weekend, so it's with confidence at an all-time high under Maurcio Pochettino that they welcome four-time world champions Germany to Soldier Field. It's only a friendly, but it's one that will have the feel of a World Cup tie.

The manner in which USA dominated Senegal on Sunday has caused understandable excitement, seeing as it wasn't long ago that the West African giants comprehensively picked England apart in the Three Lions' own backyard. Folarin Balogun scored too, while Pulisic and Ricardo Pepi each registered an assist.

But just as important as the result and identities of the scorers was the performance. 19 months into his reign, the Stars and Stripes looked like a Pochettino team for the first time. They started quickly, pressed hard and never once let up, even when Pochettino made 10 changes at the interval. Indeed, they had two goals disallowed before the mixup between Miles Robinson and Chris Brady that handed Senegal a lifeline.

Germany, however, are one of the pre-tournament favorites. Die Mannschaft are riding an eight-game winning streak, and even though they weren't at full-strength they hammered Finland 4-0 last weekend, Deniz Undav, Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala doing the damage for Julian Nagelsmann's men. Saturday's tie will either temper American hopes — or raise the roof off.
