Brown spoke to the media before Saturday’s clash with the United States. He explained his choice clearly. “I always knew I would pick Germany,” he stated. “I was born here and I grew up with my mother.”

The teams will meet at Soldier Field in Chicago. The match kicks off on Saturday at 20:30 Central European Summer Time.
