Today at 2:00 p.m. ET, Austria and U.S.A. do battle in an International Friendly game live from Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, Austria. The game can be live streamed here.
The United States is traveling to Austria for their second friendly of the international break. Jurgen Klinsmann has to be unsatisfied by his team notching a scoreless tie against Scotland last week, and the team will look to turn its fortunes around when they take the pitch today in Austria. Klinsmann will be looking for a response from his team after it failed to score and didn't look impressive against Scotland.
U.S.A. will hope that the tie won't serve as a loss of momentum as the team had won 15 of their last 16 matches heading into Scotland, but failed to capitalize on the momentum it had built. While the U.S. didn't lose the game, it certainly felt like it had after the results were unfavorable and there were no goals from either side.
The good news for Klinsmann's side is that it comes in with no injuries to report so he'll be fielding a healthy squad looking to bounce back from their disappointing outing last time around. Klinsmann is known to tinker with his lineup, and this match against Austria could prove no different as he has yet to decide on and finalize what his best defensive pairing will be heading into the contest with Austria.
Klinsmann hopes that Brek Shea and Sacha Kljestan will step up for the U.S. squad during the game and help the team thwart off Austria en route to a victory.
The task won't be easy against Austria, and the good news for Austria is that it too enters play without any reported injuries, and will look for a solid win against a struggling U.S. team.
Both teams are healthy and ready to pick up a win but only one will when Austria and the U.S. go head-to-head today in Vienna.
