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.

Manager

• D. Advocaat

• E. Fae

Dick Advocaat has no reported injuries or suspensions in the Curacao camp ahead of this fixture. His projected XI reads: Room; Brenet, Gaari, Obispo, Floranus, Fonville; Chong, Comenencia, Bacuna, Bacuna; Locadia. Further updates will be added closer to kick-off if the squad picture changes.

Ivory Coast are without Wilfried Singo through injury, which is the only confirmed absence for Emerse Faé. The Galatasaray right-back's absence means a reshuffle in the defensive line. Faé's projected XI is: Fofana; Kossounou, Doue, Agbadou, Konan; Kessie, Sangare, Oulai; Amad, Bonny, Diomande.

Ivory Coast arrive in Philadelphia with four wins from their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent result was a 2-1 defeat to Germany on June 20, when a stoppage-time goal denied them a point. Before that, they beat Ecuador 1-0 on June 14 through Yan Diomande's late strike. In pre-tournament friendlies, they defeated France 2-1 and Scotland 1-0, and thrashed Republic of Korea 4-0 in March. Faé's side scored seven goals and conceded four across those five outings.

Curacao's record over the same period makes for harder reading. Advocaat's side have won just once in five matches, with their only victory a 4-0 friendly against Aruba on June 7. They drew 0-0 with Ecuador on matchday two, but prior to that suffered defeats to Germany (7-1), Scotland (4-1), and Australia (5-1). Across those five fixtures, Curacao scored five goals and conceded 18.

Head-to-Head Record

No head-to-head data exists for previous meetings between Curacao and Ivory Coast. This Group E fixture in Philadelphia is the first recorded encounter between the two nations.
