WASHINGTON, May 28 (Xinhua) -- Brian McBride scored in the 43rdminute as the United States completed a series of three World Cup warm-up games Sunday night by beating Latvia 1-0 in East Hartford, Connecticut.

    The Americans, who were beaten by Morocco 1-0 and won over Venezuela 2-0, dominated the possession until tiring midway through the second half.

    McBride received a cross from Steve Cherundolo and sent the ball off the fingertips of leaping goalkeeper Aleksandrs Kolinko and into the net at the far post.

    The U.S. team will leave for Germany on Thursday. They will play against Angola on June 5 in Hamburg, then meet the Czech Republic in their World Cup opener on June 12 in Gelsenkirchen. Enditem
