Now that the U.S. men’s national team knows its first opponent at the World Cup, it can continue working in earnest as it prepares for Qatar, and the next item on the to-do list is a difficult friendly vs. Uruguay.
The 13th-ranked Celeste, fresh off a 3–0 win over Mexico in Arizona Thursday night, come to Sporting Kansas City’s Children’s Mercy Park to face Gregg Berhalter’s side. The U.S. is entering on the heels of a 3–0 win of its own, with Christian Pulisic instrumental in a triumph over Morocco, another team that’s headed to the World Cup.
