So the U.S. probably could have picked an easier opponent for its last World Cup tuneup game than the one ranked No. 10 and that happens to have four World Cup and three European championships on its mantle.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=514\">The Dow leaps to a record as oil prices ease and non-AI stocks flourish<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><p>But fans and players alike enjoy when the Americans face big-time opponents, and the opportunity doesn\u2019t come around often because of the global game\u2019s crowded schedule.<\/p><div><\/div><div><div><div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><p>All those factors make the 13th all-time matchup between the U.S. and Germany in men\u2019s soccer one to savor.
