U.S. Men’s Soccer Falls 2-0 to Portugal in World Cup Warm‑up

The U.S. men’s national team fell 2-0 to Portugal in a friendly in Atlanta, ending its World Cup roster evaluation before coach Mauricio Pochettino announces the squad.

Portugal took a 2-0 lead in the 37th minute when Francisco Trincão scored, followed by Joao Felix's second goal in the 59th. The U.S. had more shots but struggled to convert, and the match ended as the final warm‑up before the roster announcement.

The U.S. will not play again until the roster is announced on May 26, after which they face Senegal in Charlotte and a final tune‑up against Germany in Chicago before the Group D opener against Paraguay on June 12.
