Lineups are out!

Germany is fielding a strong startelf and the bench is no exception — featuring the likes of Paul Wanner and Angsar Knauff.

Here we are. In case you have missed it, the Germany U-21 men have run riot through the UEFA European Under-21 Championships this summer and have reached the Final, where they face off today at 3:00PM EDT against England — a team they have already beaten in the group stage.

The big story of the tournament from a Bayern Munich perspective has been the rise of Nick Woltemade, who has six goals and three assists. The VfB Stuttgart and German men’s national team forward has likely played his way to a Munich transfer with his performances…but has also seen his transfer value skyrocket.

A round-up of Germany’s run as covered by BFW’s Jack Laushway:

Onto the game. Two footballing titans, with rosters full of the next generation of stars that will populate the future men’s national team squads for Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann at England and Germany, respectively. An exciting matchup with tons of Bayern Munich connections — what’s not to love?
