What happened: Chicago Fire head coach Gregg Berhalter welcomed the U.S. and Germany men’s national teams to the club’s facilities before Saturday’s final World Cup tuneup. He spoke with both squads and personally led visiting German media on a tour.

Why it matters: The gathering puts the former U.S. coach in a unique hosting role days before the World Cup begins. Saturday’s sold-out match at Soldier Field is the final pre-tournament test for both national teams.

What to watch: Watch how both teams manage their lineups and final preparations before beginning World Cup group play.
