Preview of the USA vs. Ecuador, Friendly FIFA Date

The United States is preparing for the first FIFA date in the Gregg Berhalter era. For the first time since he took office, the coach has a full team to measure his Ecuador counterpart, who under the command of Hernán Darío Gómez, seek to take a step forward and return to a World Cup in 2022.

The Stars and Stripes have fond memories of the last time they faced the Ecuadorians. Both teams met in the Quarter Finals of the Copa America Centenario; where the United States won 2-1 to get into the semifinals of the tournament.

United States

After failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the Americans changed their system, and instead of looking abroad, they brought Gregg Berhalter to take charge of the road to Qatar 2022.

Players like Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, among others, are the new leaders who will seek not only to return to the World Cup but to achieve something historic, to go as far as possible.

AS to follow, Christian Pulisic: Chelsea's new footballer is currently the new 'Captain America' of the United States. There is no doubt that Pulisic is the most talented player currently at the stars and stripes side.

Ecuador

Ecuador didn't have good times in their process to Russia and failed to qualify for the World Cup. However, the Ecuadorians are now looking for a new journey with Hernán Darío Gómez, where experienced players such as Enner Valencia and Antonio Valencia, will continue being part of it.

Although the South Americans do not have much talent in the Old Continent, they have players who know the MLS well, such as Jhegson Méndez, Carlos Gruezo, and Romario Ibarra, who want to demonstrate their talent before the country where they play.

AS to follow, Antonio Valencia: Valencia's still the great figure of Ecuadorian soccer. In spite of his 33 years, he is still the leader of the squad, and he trusts in being able to lead the way, although it seems difficult to reach 2022, he is the player to follow tonight.
