The U.S. men's national team faces its toughest test of the Gregg Berhalter era so far when it hosts Chile at the Houston Dynamo's BBVA Compass Stadium Tuesday night.
The U.S. is coming off a 1-0 win over another South American opponent, Ecuador, to improve to 3-0-0 under Berhalter. It's outscored its opponents 6-0 in that time, demonstrating a commitment to possession and carrying out the new manager's stated philosophy in those games.
The degree of difficulty should increase against a Chile side that, like the U.S., is still coping and moving forward after missing the 2018 World Cup.
