Welcome to your match thread for today’s international friendly match between the United States Men’s National Team and Cuba. The teams are playing at Havana’s Estadio Pedro Marrero, marking only the third time the two nations have met on Cuban soil.
The USMNT is 9-1-1 in 11 previous meetings, but just 1-1-0 in the two trips to the island. Cuba won the first ever meeting, 5-2, way back on July 20, 1947. Clint Dempsey provided the lone tally with a 40th-minute strike in a 1-0 FIFA World Cup qualifying match on Sept. 6, 2008.
