It’s the final match of the year for the United States as they face Portugal, the defending European champions and the 3rd-ranked team in the world, tomorrow in Leiria. For the Americans, it’s a chance to end the year on a high note after failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, and it’s an opportunity to begin evaluating the future of the USMNT through some of the young talent that has been called into camp by interim head coach Dave Sarachan. For Portugal, it’s an opportunity to see which of the fringe players could possibly make the final 23 that go to Russia next summer.
