USA vs. Bolivia: Date, Time, TV Schedule and Live Stream for 2016 Friendly

Wins over Puerto Rico and Ecuador have been the ideal Copa America preparation for the USMNT. Manager Jurgen Klinsmann’s men continue their warm-up efforts against Bolivia in Kansas City on Saturday. Klinsmann is still trying to find the right formula up front, but he will have been pleased by Darlington Nagbe’s winner against Ecuador, a goal made by smart combination work with fellow striker Bobby Wood.   Schedule and Viewing Details Date: Saturday, May 28 Time: 8 p.m. (ET) TV: Fox Sports 1 Live Stream: Fox Soccer2Go   Preview Klinsmann... 

Who Can Strike First in Spain’s 4-Man Euro 2016 Forward Battle?

In theory, this is where Spain ramp up attempts to win a third European Championship in a row, but the team that takes to the field against Bosnia and Herzegovina in St Gallen, Switzerland, won’t bear much resemblance to the one that tries to win Euro 2016. Sergio Ramos, Juanfran, Dani Carvajal, Koke, Isco, Saul Niguez and Lucas Vazquez—all named in the 25-man preliminary squad to go to France by Vicente Del Bosque—have other things on their mind this weekend and are currently around 135 miles away in Milan, leaving the way clear for some other names to impress the Spain boss. As... 

Slovakia Friendly Offers Joachim Low Perfect Opportunity to Test Fringe Players

When Germany face Slovakia to kick their preparations for UEFA Euro 2016 into another gear on Sunday, the XI on the pitch will hardly resemble the one we’ll see on June 12 in Lille, in France. On that day, Joachim Low’s men will start their Euro adventure against Ukraine. Until then, however, a lot of things need sorting out. The 56-year-old called up a preliminary selection of 27 players for the first phase of preparations, including four players who have yet to make their debut for the current FIFA World Cup holders. Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno and attacker Julian Brandt,... 

Will Luis Suarez’s Injury Derail His and Uruguay’s Copa America Bid?

The Copa America Centenario has not even begun, but the most crucial moment of Uruguay’s campaign may have already happened. Approaching the hour mark in Barcelona’s Copa del Rey final clash with Sevilla at the Vicente Calderon in Madrid, Suarez stretched out his right leg to control a ball and, in doing so, injured his hamstring. He was already upset when he hobbled off, with Andres Iniesta consoling him, and that evolved into full-blown tears when slumped on the bench. Suarez pulled his shirt up over his face so the world could not see his tears. Perhaps they flowed because he now... 

Marcus Rashford’s Impressive Debut Leads Promising England Win over Australia

Whether it’s as dramatic as a gamble or as low-key as a tweak, football managers understandably take satisfaction when a call comes off. England manager Roy Hodgson may hope the full return on his decision to bring untested 18-year-old Marcus Rashford into the senior fold is still to come this summer. In the meantime, he was more than pleased with the Manchester United striker’s impressive scoring debut in an overall promising 2-1 pre-UEFA Euro 2016 friendly win over Australia. “I’m delighted for Marcus and delighted that he’s received such praise,” Hodgson... 

In Cristiano Ronaldo’s Absence, Who Can Step Up for Portugal vs. Norway?

You may have noticed, but Cristiano Ronaldo has other plans this weekend. While Portugal’s talisman will be donning the white of Real Madrid and battling Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final at the San Siro in Milan on Saturday, his compatriots are going to be preparing to take on Norway in a pre-UEFA Euro 2016 friendly at FC Porto’s Estadio do Dragao on Sunday evening. When one player is as important to the cause as Ronaldo is to Portugal’s, such exercises end up having a feeling of futility around them. A Ronaldo-led Portugal is a different animal to a Portugal... 

Bolivia Match Last Chance for USMNT Back Line to Work on Chemistry Ahead of Copa

There are plenty of concerns surrounding the United States men’s national team ahead of the 2016 Copa America Centenario, but the one glaring issue that hasn’t had a clear-cut solution yet is the play of the back four.  It is safe to assume DeAndre Yedlin and Fabian Johnson will start on the defensive flanks throughout the Copa, while John Brooks looks set to occupy one of the two center back positions. However, the final defensive position in the starting 11 has yet to be locked down.  USMNT boss Jurgen Klinsmann handed D.C. United man Steve Birnbaum a chance to impress on... 

Italy National Team’s Midfield Must Take Shape in Scotland Friendly

As the Italian national team begin their final preparation for the 2016 UEFA European Championship, there are major worries about an important part of the team. Italy’s midfield is in shambles.  Coach Antonio Conte is heading into the Euros with severe injury problems in his team’s power plant. Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio, a midfield staple for both club and country, tore his ACL early in the Bianconeri’s 4-0 win over Palermo on April 17.  Intimately familiar with Conte and his systems from their time together at Juve and excellent as both a box-to-box midfielder... 

Javier Hernandez and Mexico Have Cause for Optimism Ahead of Copa America

Who do you think will win the Copa America Centenario? Argentina—beaten in the 2015 final—and Brazil will always pop up as the main options in your mind, even though they’ve only lifted the trophy just once between them in the last three editions. Uruguay—winners in 2011—and holders Chile surely deserve serious consideration, too, particularly when you take into account the star quality they possess in attack. But what if the 100th anniversary of the tournament saw a new champion crowned? Step forward Mexico. Twice the bridesmaid but never the bride, there are genuine... 

Wayne Rooney Must Make Himself Indispensable to England in Friendly vs Australia

Wayne Rooney is set for a trip down memory lane when England face Australia on Friday in the second of their Euro 2016 warm-up matches. The 30-year-old made his international debut against the Socceroos back in 2003. In an otherwise drab 3-1 friendly defeat at Upton Park, the teenage striker lit up England’s showing, notably helping create Francis Jeffers’ goal. The precocious star had the whole football world in front of him then. Thirteen years later, Rooney has a far narrower remit in which he can impose himself—especially when it comes to the national team. Despite a...
