Key Brazil Storylines
--Brazil may be coming off of a victory over Costa Rica, but the team is still reeling from an unexpected knockout by Paraguay in the early stages of the Copa América. It marked Dunga's first major tournament since returning to his post as the team's boss.
--Brazil hasn't played in the United States since a match in 2012 at FedEx Field in Maryland, which saw the visitors notch a 4-1 triumph over a very different American team. Neymar notched a goal and two assists in that victory. The captain sat out during the team's 2-1 win over Costa Rica, so it remains to be seen if Dunga will once again hold him out due to possible bad blood between the player and his coach.
Key USA Storylines
--Jürgen Klinsmann's club is still seething from a poor Gold Cup performance earlier in the summer and while a 2-1 victory over Peru in their last contest helped, a win against Brazil could go a long way in restoring the team's confidence.
--With USA getting battered by Brazil the last time these teams played in the United States, the club will undoubtedly look to show how much it has changed since that defeat three years ago.
