The U.S. men’s national team is reportedly in line to host Portugal in an international friendly next year, ending Cristiano Ronaldo’s nearly 12-year absence from playing on United States soil.
The last time Ronaldo featured in a soccer match in the United States, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner helped Real Madrid and Manchester United set an attendance record. More than 109,300 fans turned up at Michigan Stadium to watch the two European giants collide in a club friendly back in Aug. 2014.
