For the second of two friendlies, the United States Men’s National Team heads to Belfast to take on Northern Ireland at Windsor Park. This match represents one of the remaining opportunities for players to prove themselves ahead of the busy summer. The opponent is a country descending from a few years of achievement, set to begin “a challenging and lengthy transitional period.”
The USMNT has an all-time 0-1-0 record against Northern Ireland, the only result a 5-0 loss in 1948. The European nation was most recently in action on March 25th against Italy in a World Cup qualifier, falling by a 2-0 margin.
