Qatar 2022 is drawing nearer and the road to the World Cup in Concacaf is heating up. The United States Men’s National Team and El Salvador face each other today, January 27, in a must-win game for both. The match will be broadcast live in the US by fuboTV (7-day free trial streaming).
The Stars and Stripes return to action aiming to build on their three-game unbeaten streak. Last time out, the USMNT shared the points with Jamaica and were left second in the standings, one point shy of Canada.
On the other hand, the outlook is less encouraging for La Selecta. Hugo Perez‘s men are seventh in the table with six points (W1 D3 L4) and they have plenty of work to do to put themselves in contention for a World Cup berth.
