The U.S. caps off a record-setting 2013 campaign with a pair of international challenges that will serve as preparation for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The U.S. first faces Scotland on Nov. 15 at Hampden Park in Glasgow (3 p.m. ET, ESPN2, UniMas), then, four days later, will play Austria for the first time since 1998 when they meet at Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna (2:45 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network, UniMas). Fans can follow both matches live on ussoccers MatchTracker and on Twitter @ussoccer. The United States is concluding a tremendous year, highlighted by reaching the World Cup final competition for the seventh-consecutive time. The USA finished first place in qualifying in the CONCACAF region for the third straight time, collecting a perfect 5-0-0 record at home in the final round, with all wins coming by shutout. After completing a team-record 12-game winning streak, the U.S. has won 16 games in 2013, already a team high for a calendar year.
