USA vs. Bosnia & Herzegovina, International Friendly: How to Watch, TV Info, Live Stream, Preview, Match Thread, and More

The youth movement is official upon us as the United States Men’s National Team takes on Bosnia and Herzegovina for the second time in history.

The first game was back in August of 2013 in a 4-3 thriller. Jozy Altidore bagged a hat trick but Bosnia’s Edin Džeko scored a brace that kept it close. However, no player on either current roster played in that friendly.

For the U.S., 20 players of the 29-man roster are under 25 years old, 12 have played in a FIFA Youth World Cup, and 19 have spent time in the development academy, while 15 players can earn their first caps. This is a golden opportunity for everyone to make a breakthrough just a few weeks before a new USSF president is elected.

Bosnia finished third in Group H, behind Belgium and Greece, and as a result did not qualify for the World Cup either. Robert Prosinečki will coach in his first game for Zmajevi in what will be a close contest between two teams whose players need to prove themselves. For Bosnia & Herzegovina, 16 players could earn their first caps.

Match Thread Rules

This is your live thread for posting comments on the match. So use our comments section below to talk about the game in real time with other supporters. If you’re new, welcome to our happy home! While you’re here, please observe a few basic rules:

• Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They can get us in trouble, and no one wants that.
• Try not to be “that guy” who spews nothing but venom and hate for the team. It’s OK to be critical, and, let’s face it, sometimes even the best teams can be frustrating to watch, but being overly negative relentlessly can sap the enjoyment for others.
• Keep it somewhat clean and fair when criticizing players / officials. You never know who might be reading.
• Do unto others in the match thread, the way you would have others do unto you. We are a fun community and want to keep it this way. We have a moderator, but we’d rather let him enjoy the game instead of having to play babysitter.

Enjoy the match!
