NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).
3. Clear Cache: Sometimes your browser holds onto your old location. Clear your cookies or refresh your browser to ensure the change takes effect.

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.

Form

The USMNT head into this fixture with two wins and three losses from their last five outings. Their most recent result was a 4-1 victory over Paraguay in their World Cup opener on June 13, a performance that set a strong tone for the tournament. Before that, they fell 2-1 to Germany in a pre-tournament friendly, having beaten Senegal 3-2 the week prior. Across those five matches, the U.S. have scored 10 goals and conceded eight — a side with clear attacking output but defensive questions still to answer.

Australia arrive in better recent shape, posting three wins, one draw, and one defeat from their last five. Their most recent result was a 2-0 win over Türkiye in the World Cup group stage on June 14, following a 1-1 draw with Switzerland in a friendly. The Socceroos beat Curacao 5-1 in March and edged Cameroon 1-0 in the same international window, with their only defeat in this run a 1-0 loss to Mexico. Australia have kept two clean sheets across these five matches.
