The United States men’s national soccer team looks to build on last month’s win versus Japan as they face World Cup-bound Ecuador, which will notably be without Moisés Caicedo. With just three international match windows between the current window and next summer's FIFA World Cup, each friendly carries increased importance for roster preparation. Highlighted by Christian Pulisic, manager Mauricio Pochettino’s 26-player roster for this window also features returnees Weston McKennie and Tanner Tessmann. The USMNT’s last visit to Austin was a victory against Saudi Arabia during this year’s CONCACAF Gold Cup. – Derek Udensi
