USA will play Brazil on Tuesday night in a big international soccer friendly as both teams prepare for their World Cup qualifying campaigns to kick off next month. Tonight's big game has a scheduled start time of 8 p.m. ET and takes place from the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. The game can be watched on TV on the ESPN network, or online through ESPN live stream via the link below.
This is the second game in the past week for both teams, and both will be hoping to build momentum towards important games next month.
The United States managed to claim a 2-1 victory in their match against Peru last week, however, they did not get everything their own way. They went 1-0 down to their South American rivals, but managed to bounce back to win the game 2-1 at the RFK Stadium with two goals from Jozy Altidore.
The USA team will travel northwards to New England for tonight's game where they will play a Brazil team that features Orlando City MLS star, Kaka.
Brazil are hoping to rebuild somewhat after the disappointment of last year's home World Cup, followed by their quarter final elimination from the Copa America 2015 tournament against Paraguay.
A lot of work has gone into this fixture, and grounds staff have laid a temporary grass pitch over the artificial surface that MLS side, the New England Revolution, regularly use.
History makes it clear that Brazil will be favorites to win this game tonight. Of the 17 encounters USA and Brazil have had together, Brazil have won 16, with the United States claiming just one solitary win throughout a stretch of games dating way back to the 1930s.
The United States' only victory over Brazil came in 1998 when they defeated Brazil 1-0 in the CONCACAF Gold Cup semi final, and even on that occasion it took a heroic performance from USA's goalkeeper, Kasey Keller.
Brazilian striker, Romario, commented about Keller's performance after that game: "That was the greatest performance I have ever seen in a goalkeeper. It was an honor to be on the field with him. I take the blame. But that goalkeeper was incredible."
Today we will see whether the United States can add to that solitary victory over the South American soccer powerhouse.
