With the top soccer leagues from around the world taking a break until the end of the month, it’s time for the national teams to start preparing for this summer’s World Cup with a string of friendlies that will be played in all corners of the globe.
In total, there are over 20 matches will be aired live on US television and/or streaming. On paper, some of the most highly-anticipated games include Russia-Brazil, Italy-Argentina, Germany-Spain, France-Colombia, Germany-Brazil, England-Italy, Spain-Argentina and Mexico-Croatia. Plus the USA will field a very young side against Paraguay in a match that should give several debuts to promising American talent.
Bookmark this schedule for the international break, and we’ll update it if/when there are any last-minute TV or streaming changes.
All kickoffs listed below are in the Eastern United States time zone.

Where is Christian Pulisic?
He is the best American soccer player. Why is he left out of the team?
Save American culture: Ban Soccer!
First they came for soccer...
Get a life.
Please.
Our kickball team sucks.
He plays striker for the Dortmund FBC, in the German Bundesliga.
I believe that they have to get a release from their team in order to play in the 'International Friendlies' games.
I don’t think that applies here as this is a designated FIFA date for internationals to be played.
I think the US team is probably just using this game to look at different players.
Always so hard to tell with friendlies which will be worth watching and which will be duds.
Even when good teams play.
“First they came for soccer...”
At first, they had a good idea. . .
:)
You must be very lonely.
The road back for Team USA begins.
I still believe missing out on the WC will prove to be a blessing-in-disguise in the long run.
