USA vs. Costa Rica 2016 live stream: How to watch the USMNT online

The U.S. just suffered a big setback in their World Cup qualification efforts, but the road gets no easier in their next match.

The United States need to bounce back in a big way after a huge setback in their first match in CONCACAF qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. Losing to Mexico in Columbus was something many fans would have thought would be impossible before it actually happened last week. Now it’s time to rebound, but that’s going to be tough with the USMNT having to make an always-difficult trip to Costa Rica on Tuesday.

How tough a trip is this, you ask? They have not won there. Not once. Since they first played Costa Rica in 1975, there hasn’t been a win there for the United States. In fact, they’ve only not lost in Costa Rica once, a draw way back in 1985. It’s a long trip and a tough environment to play in, and that’s going to be a big, big challenge for the USMNT to overcome at a time when they’re badly struggling for form and consistency.

To watch this match online you can stream it on beIN Sports Connect or NBC Universo Now. The match isn’t being shown online in Costa Rica, but you can find streaming options in other countries on LiveSoccerTV.

TV: beIN Sports (U.S. - English), NBC Universo (U.S. - Spanish), Teletica Canal 7 (Costa Rica)

Match date/time: Tuesday, 9:05 p.m. ET, 8:05 p.m. local

Venue: Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica, San José, Costa Rica
