Match preview
After ending 2025 with a 5-1 win over Uruguay to make it five games unbeaten (W4, D1), the USA were thrashed 5-2 by Belgium on Saturday. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino admits that this clash will be an even bigger test in what is the players' last match to impress their boss before he selects a squad for the World Cup finals. The USA have been solid at home, winning nine of their last 13 matches (D1, L3).

Portugal drew 0-0 against Mexico on Sunday to make it back-to-back away games without scoring following a 2-0 loss against the Republic of Ireland. Although they did collect up wins in Hungary, Armenia and Germany in 2025, their long-term form on foreign soil is poor, recording victories in only seven of their last 16 matches (D4, L5) outside of Portugal. Overall, Roberto Martínez’s team won six games in a row from late March to mid-October last year but they've only won one of their last four.

How to watch on the Big Screen
Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:
- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
- Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
