Two nations looking to return to form will do battle today in an international friendly between the Czech Republic and United States. The match scheduled for 2:15 p.m. ET will be held at the Generali Arena in Prague and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports and Univision Deportes.
U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann had this to offer ahead of today's encounter (via Brian Sciaretta on American Soccer Now): "This is, I think, a process. The earlier we start that process and the younger many of the players are and that that into their system, and into their heads, maybe there is a little bit of a chance to do that."
"It's not going to happen overnight, we always said that," he continued. "I think we did some big strides over the last couple of years with certain results in games we played. We see their step forward. But I just had the approach after the Belgium I was disappointed in the way that you get out of the Group of Death, and if you get out of the group, you can actually make it far."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Tomas Rosicky has been instrumental for both club and country during his career. The 30-year-old is yet to make an appearance for Arsenal this season, but did finish with an average of 1.3 key passes per match last year. He'll look to contribute more of the same for the Czech Republic this afternoon.
Czech Republic's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Cech; Kadlec, Prochazka, Suchy, Reznik; Horava, Darida; Pilar, Rosicky, Dockal; Vydra
USA's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Guzan; Chandler, Brooks, Ream, Johnson; Corona, Diskerud; Shea, Bedoya, Green; Altidore
