Nonetheless, the squad should not be underestimated as the team qualified for the World Cup as one of the top 3 teams in the 2022 Pan American Cup. The game against Chile takes place on July 2nd at 4:30 p.m., before the Germans want to celebrate a revenge against the Netherlands on July 3rd at 7:30 p.m. Last group opponent is Ireland.
