The United States men's national team hopes to bounce back in their final match before the summer international window commences as they meet fifth-ranked Portugal in Atlanta on Tuesday.
Mauricio Pochettino's side was clobbered by Belgium 5-2 in their first of two matches this March, the final international break before the 2026 FIFA World Cup roster is announced in late May.
The USMNT held strong through much of the first half against the Red Devils, taking a lead through a Weston McKennie goal before coughing up the advantage before the halftime break. They collapsed shortly after the second-half restart, as Belgium asserted its dominance.
They now meet an even stronger European opponent, albeit one without its top star Cristiano Ronaldo who is recovering from injury. Portugal was blanked in a drab scoreless draw with Mexico in their last match, one bereft with substitutions befitting of an eventless friendly.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
