On Wednesday morning, German time, the DFB team will play Mexico in Philadelphia. Eagles star Jason Kelce is already looking forward to it

Football star Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles may know “just a little bit about German football” – but the DFB eleven’s game against Mexico on Wednesday (02.00 CEST) at Kelce’s NFL home stadium will be “fun to watch for sure”, the centre and brother of exceptional player Travis Kelce told “SID” after the 14:20 loss to the New York Jets.

“I’m watching the World Cup and Bayern Munich. I’m not up to date, but international games are always special,” Kelce said. The German national football team will play its second test match as part of the US trip at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, where the Eagles around quarterback Jalen Hurts and Kelce otherwise play their home games.

Kelce does not know many German players. “I knew better when I played FIFA,” he said, but Bastian Schweinsteiger was “a midfielder” who “I loved.” With the Eagles, the “brother-in-law” of pop world star Taylor Swift conceded the first defeat of the current NFL season in the sixth game on Sunday.
