Robinson’s thunderbolt not enough as USA fall 2-1 to Germany in final World Cup warm-up
TL;DR Summary
Antonee Robinson’s thunderous volley pulled the U.S. within a goal, but Germany held on for a 2-1 win at Soldier Field in the final World Cup prep. Havertz opened the scoring and Sané added a second as Germany capitalized on chances, while the US showed cohesion and improvement under Mauricio Pochettino’s approach. Balogun was starved of service, and Pulisic and Dest struggled to impact the wing, but Freese started in goal with rotations elsewhere and Sebastian Berhalter impressed in midfield as the team heads toward the World Cup group stage.
