Germany will bring a talented and deep roster to Chicago and Hartford for the Oct. 20 and 23 clashes with the U.S. WNT. After rolling through qualifying for the 2013 European Women's Championships, the Germans are prepping for that tournament next summer in Sweden. Germany has won the last five consecutive European Women's Championships. The Germans were dealt a blow when star midfielder Fatmire "Lira" Bajramaj tore her ACL playing for her club FFC Frankfurt a few weeks ago, but the roster is still loaded with talented players.
The match on Oct. 20 kicks off at 5:30 p.m. CT/6:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on FOX Soccer. The TV broadcast information for the Oct. 23 match is forthcoming.
