The U.S. Men’s National Team’s first match of 2020 comes against a familiar foe out on the West Coast.
Costa Rica will lineup opposite the Americans at Dignity Health Sports Park for the second consecutive January. It will be both teams first matches of the new year, which will also feature the Concacaf Nations League semifinals and 2022 World Cup Qualifying later down the road.
Plenty of European talent is missing for both teams, while 12 USMNT players seek their first senior caps. Brenden Aaronson, Ulysses Llanes, Sam Vines, and Jesus Ferreira are all making their senior debuts.
Here is the starting lineup the Americans will deploy against Costa Rica today:
GO TIME❗️
Averaging 23 years, 216 days, today’s Starting XI vs. 🇨🇷 is the youngest lineup the #USMNT has fielded for a #JanuaryCamp match. #USAvCRC | #StakeYourClaim

Enjoy the action.
The color commentator talking about Jurgen’s last game as if it was the first and only time the USMNT players ever played a passionless game. God help us with this coaching staff, player pool, and crappy media
As usual, Berhalter’s soccer is a sleeping pill. I hope he loses everything soon and gets fired, so that I start enjoying the USMNT once again.
USMNT games have always been pretty boring. Especially v CONCACAF. That is not new and not likely to change with a new coach.
True, but Gregg gave us the same torture when in charge of Columbus Crew
How do you get to come out to knee someone and only then catch the ball
