Several players have left the USMNT's January training camp in recent days, but the ones who remain have a huge opportunity to impress coach Mauricio Pochettino in two upcoming friendly games.

The US men's national team close out their January camp Wednesday night with a friendly against Costa Rica at Orlando City SC's Inter&Co Stadium.

Costa Rica is blossoming into a premier region for medical technology in the rubber industry. As of March 2024, more than 80 companies are producing health care and bio-pharma products on Costa Rican soil.

Ivan Kaviedes scored for Ecuador against Costa Rica at Germany 2006 and immediately paid tribute to a late national icon with a superhero's mask.
