USA - Slovenia live online: first half, scores, stats and updates, international friendly
The USMNT are playing from right to left as we watch it. The Toyota Field pitch looks pretty dry today.
The US are playing in an all-white kit, while Slovenia are playing in an all-blue strip.
And we're underway in San Antonio!
It's a young US side. Diego Luna is definitely one player that is worth keeping an eye on today.
The last time the sides met was in a friendly in 2011. The USA were victorious that day, winning 3-2.
There are seven debutants for the USA today and eight for Slovenia.
This is the third meeting between these two sides.
And it's now time for the national anthems.
The teams take to the field in San Antonio, Texas. It's a big year for both nations in 2024.
