ANALYSIS
Germany rolled to victory on Tuesday, but will have to be at peak performance against a Slovkia tram that will be well-rested. “I think we’ve been rolling, so hopefully that’s something we can take to our advantage,” Seider told USA Today. “[Slovakia] is a team that isn’t afraid to play physical. I think it should be a great matchup. Everyone is excited in our locker room and excitement definitely grows with each game.”
