USA vs. Germany: Date, Start Time, Live Stream for 2015 Women's Soccer World Cup

It is a clash worthy of the final, but only one of Germany and the USA will get the chance to play for the 2015 Women's World Cup as the two sides meet in Tuesday's first semi-final in Montreal.

Both teams are two-time winners of the tournament and the top two ranked sides in the world, per FIFA, so it is a clash of two titans of the game and is set to be a bruising encounter.

Germany have been prolific in front of goal so far in Canada, while USA have been frugal at the back, thus it is very difficult to establish who holds the edge heading into the match.

Read on for full scheduling and viewing details ahead of the hotly anticipated meeting of two brilliant sides, as well as a full preview.

Preview

If playing the top quality sides brings out the best in Germany and the USA, then Tuesday's clash is set to be some spectacle.

Jill Ellis' side have not quite hit their best form so far in this tournament, but USWNT fans will hope the prospect of a spot in the final can bring out their true quality.

They have been immense at the back, conceding only one goal in their opener against Australia, and they are currently on a record run defensively, per FIFA Women's World Cup:

However, since scoring three against the Matildas, the subsequent four matches have returned just four goals.

They are doing what needs to be done, but a higher level of performance will be needed against the Germans.

Fortunately, there were positive signs in their 1-0 quarter-final win against China, per ESPN's Julie Foudy:

Megan Rapinoe and Lauren Holiday will both return from suspension for the semi-final, and Ellis has a big job on her hands in picking the right 11 to take to the pitch at Olympic Stadium.

Continued excellence in defence will be vital for the USWNT, as Germany have some lethal weapons in attack. Celia Sasic and Anja Mittag have scored 11 goals between them so far in this tournament and will need to be well-marshalled for the 90 minutes.

In three of their five matches so far, Die Nationalelf have been immense, scoring a combined 18 goals against Cote d'Ivoire, Thailand and Sweden.

But they were held to a 1-1 draw by an impressive Norway side in the group stages and were taken to penalties by a strong French side in the quarters, a match that Les Bleus arguably deserved to win in normal time.

France's performance showed that Germany can be frustrated in attack, but the USA will need to take their chances when they get them.

The USWNT will be desperate to get to the final once again and have a chance to right the wrongs of 2011 when they were defeated by Japan in the last two on penalties.

It is a huge challenge, but one that the likes of Hope Solo, Abby Wambach and the rest of the squad have overcome in the past, and they have the quality to get past the Germans if they can up their game.
