The Americans dispatched Venezuela 3-1, with three players each getting their first national team goals. Now they face a Costa Rican side playing for the first time since being eliminated from the CONCACAF Nations League by Panama back in November — and with a new manager at the helm.

Meanwhile, Costa Rica is dusting off the cobwebs in their first game since last November. In their last outing, Los Ticos fought Panama to a 2-2 draw in the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-finals, only to fall 3-2 on aggregate.

It's good defending practice for the USMNT but they'll want to get the attack going to ease some of the pressure. DeJuan Jones is showing that he can get forward with ease but Costa Rica is also pressing as this won't be an easy team to break down under Miguel Herrera.
