USA to Face Costa Rica in Second Friendly of the Year

USMNT soccer players in action against Costa Rica



The United States Men’s National Team to Face Costa Rica

The United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) will conclude their January camp tonight as they face Costa Rica in their second friendly of the year. The USMNT is coming off a 3-1 victory over Venezuela over the weekend and will look to secure another win against the Ticos.

Several players made their debuts against Venezuela, and more are expected to do the same this evening. Manager Mauricio Pochettino wants his players to gain experience answering the call and producing on the field. Against a Concacaf opponent like Costa Rica, whom the USMNT may face again this year, perhaps at the Gold Cup, he wants his team to dictate the pace of the game.

Costa Rica is known for its tough play regardless of the competition, and they will likely try to impose their game on the United States. For the USMNT, this match is another opportunity for players to make an impression and contribute to a positive result.
