LIVE: USA Turns Page on World Cup Qualifying Failure With Portugal Friendly

The U.S. men's national team turns the page on failing to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1986 with a friendly in Portugal, taking on the 2016 European champions in Leiria (3:45 p.m. ET; FS1, UniMas).

Under interim manager Dave Sarachan, a young, experimental U.S. will take the field against the Cristiano Ronaldo-less opposition, which is tuning up for the World Cup next summer. The Americans, meanwhile, are just looking to start fresh, with a trio of young goalkeepers in camp out to claim the No. 1 role for the next World Cup cycle and a host of other new or seldom called-upon names in camp looking to make an impression.
