Although the team is going in as an underdog, Josh Burdin, who has been an underdog quite a few times in his life, doesn’t see this as a problem.

“I think for them, or at least in my case when I dealt with being an underdog, it was just more motivation, and I think that’s what they are going to go into the game tonight with, a lot of motivation. ”

A few key USA players in this game are Carli Lloyd and Alex Morgan. After Lloyd rewarded Jill Ellis with a game winning goal against China and Morgan finally hitting full fitness, Germany will have to bring their A game.

Michelle Conrad is a goalie and she just can’t believe how far these girls have come.

“You kind of look at these women that are accomplishing so much at such a young age and it kind of makes you like want to be better and want to just train as hard as you can and just want to play for yourself cause our season is coming up quick,” Conrad said.

The game will be held at Olympic Stadium Montreal, Quebec on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET and you can bet that these girls will be glued to their TV’s during that time.
