Team USA and Honduras are playing live on the international friendly schedule on Tuesday night and the game is from FAU Stadium in Boca Raton in Florida and TV coverage is from ESPN and it will be streaming online for the United States from the WatchESPN website after their matchup with Ecuador and things start up after 8 pm ET as the US moves on after Landon Donovan retired.
The US now faces off against another CONCACAF team on Wednesday and the team comes in after a tough 1-1 draw with Ecuador that sent off Donovan. The team played very well in the World Cup and made a run to the knockout stages in Brazil and while Donovan was not there for that, the team showed it has plenty of talent moving forward. The US side is looking to get a full performance on Wednesday and Jozy Altidore is looking to keep things going after he was injured during the World Cup.
Donovan was the center of attention for the matchup with Ecuador and now Jurgen Klinsmann has the chance to put his team on the field again after the World Cup ended. DeAndre Yedlin and Jozy Altidore have shown that they are now the two most talented players for the team and Klinsmann used eight starters in the first game that was also in the 1-0 win against the Czech Republic in Prague earlier in the year.
Donovan almost had a very nice goal in the game on Friday and Klinsmann likely will use Mix Diskerud or Joe Corona in the game on Wednesday. The US is playing without Tim Howard and that is a big move for the team and they have Brad Guzan and Nick Rimando to choose from and that could be an interesting battle going forward. The US side now has an influx of talent with Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley and Jermaine Jones coming in and those three are foundational players for the United States heading into this next era and they should be able to dominate among CONCACAF teams over the next year.
The US has a better record against Honduras over what they have previously done against Ecuador and they come in 13-3-3 all time in the series and they last played in the Gold Cup back in 2013. The two teams have played in Florida before in a friendly matchup and in that game in 2011, Klinsmann got his first win as coach of the US team with a goal from Clint Dempsey. Klinsmann has put his mark on this team and he is trying to turn the US into a World class program.
The team comes in with high expectations and a number of players will be coming in for this matchup away from their MLS Clubs. Dempsey will be in, as will Jones, Bradley along with Matt Besler and Graham Zusi and that gives the US a very experienced team. Klinsmann wants to get as much time in with his players as he can and this comes after the team made it into the round of 16 in Brazil. Honduras comes in after a loss against Mexico last week.
