The fixture will be held at RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, Germany. The match kicks off at 2:45 ET on FOX Sports 1, UniMás, and Univision Deportes official website.

The United States has contributed to a large recent history against the German national team. Germany, who won the 2014 FIFA World Cup in the blazing summer climate of Brazil, had to break through a barrier of a tough Group G that saw a triumphant 1-0 victory against the United States in Recife on the final day of group play.

On the other hand, the United States national team is filled with German-Americans on their current roster. The likes of John Brooks, Jermaine Jones, Timothy Chandler, Fabian Johnson, and Julian Green highlights some of the key players representing the United States.

Overall, the United States has an official record of (3-7-0, W-L-D) against Germany, reiterating the need for the United States to improve against UEFA competition in order to become one of the world's top footballing nations.

Dating back to the US Cup on June 13, 1993, the United States has proven unsuccessful against the four time world champions, when they were defeated 4-3 at Soldier Field surrounded by 53,549 spectators. Ironically, United States manager Jurgen Klinsmann scored the first goal in the 14' which was eventually followed by a Karl-Heinz Riedle hat-trick.

Defense has proven to be a recurrent factor, with six of the next nine matches ending with one team earning a clean sheet. Here's how the rest of the matches played out:

 Jun 15 1998 Germany v USA L 2-0 FIFA World Cup
