Costa Rica's President Rodrigo Chaves welcomed Venezuela's opposition leader Edmundo González in the capital San José on Thursday.

The U.S. men's national team got another comfortable win, beating Costa Rica 3-0 Wednesday to end January on a high note.

With an MLS-heavy roster, new coach Mauricio Pochettino has plenty to be impressed with after a convincing pair of friendlies.

Mauricio Pochettino made eight changes from the United States' friendly victory over Venezuela Saturday afternoon as they ran out 3-0 winners against Costa Rica on Wednesday night.  Scorers: White

The U.S. and Costa Rica game will be broadcast in English on TNT and truTV. NBC's Universo will carry the game in Spanish. The U.S. and Costa Rica will stream in English on Max. NBC's Peacock will stream the game in Spanish.

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 USMNT made it two wins from two January friendlies, defeating Costa Rica, 3-0, on Wednesday at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando.

The first international match of the year for Costa Rica is here, and they're headed to Orlando's Inter & Co Stadium on Wednesday to take on the USA in what's shaping up to be a lively friendly. While it's a non-competitive clash, the stakes are always high when these two CONCACAF powerhouses face off.

The Americans dispatched Venezuela 3-1, with three players each getting their first national team goals. Now they face a Costa Rican side playing for the first time since being eliminated from the CONCACAF Nations League by Panama back in November — and with a new manager at the helm.

For the USMNT, these January friendlies are a chance to prove that players based in MLS can be just as good as those plying their trade in Europe.

The goalkeeper from Downingtown played his first national team game in nearly three years, and made two saves. Brian White, Caden Clark and Patrick Agyemang scored the goals.

The United States Men's National Team is gearing up for two international friendlies against Venezuela and Costa Rica. These games represent head coach Mauricio Pochettino's third cycle in charge of the USMNT;
