Saudi Arabia vs USA

Follow Sportsmail's live blog as USMNT play against Saudi Arabia in the final game before the World Cup begins in November.

Once again, a ball came over the top for McKennie. A cross from Yedlin couldn't find anyone in the box. Tyler Adams put in a powerful attempt from about 27 yards out but it just barely missed the left post of the goal. He tried putting his header on goal, but it was well wide of the net. The cross in just missed the head of Aaron Long, who tried to get up and knock it in. Pepi hasn't scored a goal in his last ten games for the USMNT. After a minute of added time, the half ends with no significant chances or opportunities. A USSF spokesperson says Reyna's substitution at the 30' wasn't planned by the team. Paul Arriola was brought on in the 30' after Gio Reyna felt tension in his hamstring and was taken off as a precaution. After the game, Berhalter said that none of his questions surrounding the no. American midfielders tried a few times to find him in the middle early on, but he never put up any serious attacking chances. It was not a game that inspired a lot of confidence.

Tuesday's edition of Saudi Arabia vs USMNT is going to be scrutinized as much as any friendly in recent United States men's national team history.

Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams are often the heartbeat of this team but both looked a mix of cavalier and junior varsity. The team will also feel at home in Murcia, where it played those matches and where it had a scoreless tangle with Ecuador four days prior to this tilt. Ecuador outshot the Saudis 11-5 and had 60 percent of the ball but all that will get you an argument that you deserved better than a solitary point that comes from a real match. Saudi Arabia won two of the first four but the Yanks claimed home soil wins in a 1995 friendly and the 1999 Confederations Cup. Is that showing the pressure is on him to get a positive result? This will be the seventh meeting between the Yanks and Green Falcons, but the first since 1999 against a national team representing political issues for the United States. Straight away Saudi Arabia have a shot from the edge of the box and Turner pushes it away. Kick off is almost here and this is the final chance for players to impress Gregg Berhalter ahead of the World Cup. Or will the likes of Pulisic, Adams and McKennie stand tall and really lead this young team to a much-needed win and, perhaps more importantly, a positive display? However, Saudi Arabia have had a few chances and are looking decent on the counter. McKennie surged in-behind the defenders, Pulisic cut in from the left and Long and Zimmerman both looked long whenever they could. Scally, McKenzie and Ferreira on for the USMNT.
