The United States Men's National Team faces Puerto Rico, on Sunday, May 22, in a tune-up for the 2016 Copa America Centenario.

The U.S. heads to Juan Ramón Loubriel Stadium for its first-ever game against Puerto Rico. The 29th ranked USMNT will be heavily favored in this match against the 152nd ranked Puerto Rican National team. In Puerto Rico baseball is king, and the quality of soccer on the island still has room for improvement.

This game is expected to be an easy, confidence-building win for the U.S. before it faces friendlies against tougher opponents such as Ecuador and Bolivia.
