USA vs. Peru live stream: Watch international friendly soccer online
By Warren Pegg
USA face Peru at Rentschler Field on Tuesday, October 16. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
While there’s no shame in losing to a side that contains James Rodriguez, Radamel Falcao and Carlos Bacca, the USMNT’s performance against Colombia provided little cause for optimism, with left-back Antonee Robinson enduring a particularly torrid time on Thursday. “These games are ideal for everyone [in the squad], but for a guy like Antonee, these games are critical in terms of his growth,” interim coach Dave Sarachan said after the game, although his sentiments didn’t seem to be widely shared. Still, Bobby Wood has at least continued the good goal-scoring form that he’s been showing in Germany, and Tim Weah could one day become an outstanding player.
They might lack Colombia’s individual stars, but Peru finished just a point behind Colombia in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualification group, which doesn’t bode too well for the USMNT. They put in some entertaining performances in Russia during the summer, although they’re probably best remembered for the tens of thousands of their exuberant fans who made the trip to Russia to cheer them on. Peru were unfortunate not to make it into the knock-out rounds, after being drawn in a group that included eventual champions France.
The international friendly match between USA and Peru will be broadcast live on ESPN2. Live streaming is available on ESPN+, which you can access with your cable or satellite subscriptions, either online or through the ESPN app.

Without either a permanent manager or their star player, this is likely to be another tough test for the USMNT.
