The United States national team put the cap on an amazing week for American soccer with a 2-1 win over Germany in Cologne on Wednesday. While the game was just an exhibition, like the United States’ 4-3 victory at the Netherlands last week, the results gave Coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s squad a significant boost of momentum heading into next month’s Concacaf Gold Cup.
