USMNT midweek viewing guide: Open Cup, Libertadores, German relegation fight

Midweek USMNT action is here. Let’s get into it!

Tuesday

• Arminia Bielefeld vs Wehen Wiesbaden, 2:45p on ESPN+ (free trial): It looks like George Bello and Bielefeld are heading down to the 3. Liga, Germany’s third division. Bielefeld finished 16th of 18 in the 2. Bundesliga, which entered them in a playoff with the 4th-place finisher from the 3 Liga.
