USA vs. Brazil, 2018 friendly: Let the photos tell the story

When the United States Men’s National Team headed to New Jersey to take on 5-time World Cup champions Brazil, it signified the start of the new World Cup cycle. With the team still seeking to establish a new core of players to move forward after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, and still seeking a new permanent manager, there were many questions surrounding the program entering the first match against Brazil. There were mostly younger players on the team, with the roster having an average age of 23. Still, there were still some veterans mixed in with the youth that American interim manager Dave Sarachan wished to evaluate.
