USMNT vs Ecuador prediction, projected lineups, and how to watch
United States v Japan - International Friendly | John Dorton/ISI Photos/USSF/GettyImagesMauricio Pochettino and the USMNT continue their preparations for the 2026 World Cup on Friday when they host Ecuador. The last time we saw the U.S. in action, they followed up a disastrous loss to South Korea with a win over Japan, using a key formation switch in the 2-0 victory. The goal is to now build on that victory and build some positive momentum.
Growing. Adapting. Building.
