Per Joe Prince-Wright of Pro Soccer Talk, Bierhoff's squad is expected to host the match in Germany.
This would mark the third meeting between the United States and the Germans since June 2013. The Americans won a friendly 4-3 in Washington D.C. last year against what was essentially Germany's "B squad."ย ย ย
They faced off yet again at the 2014 World Cup in June with Germany coming away victorious 1-0, although Team USA still advanced to the knockout stage.
The competition between the United States and Germany is only natural since Yanks head coach Jurgen Klinsmann is one of the greatest players in German soccer history.
Klinsmann clearly wants the Americans to reach an elite level, and playing the World Cup champions is undoubtedly a great way to test them.ย ย ย ย
