Dec 15, 2009 11:37:31 AM
In the first of a number of pre-World Cup friendlies, US Soccer has announced that they will welcome Honduras to Los Angeles on January 23rd for an international friendly.
"Obviously we know the quality of the Honduran team very well and we think the match is a great way to start the year as we commence preparations for the World Cup,” said U.S. head coach Bob Bradley in a press release. “With both teams working toward finalizing their rosters for South Africa, we expect it will be a very competitive game.”
Playing the Central American team four times in 2009, the USA came away with a perfect 4-0-0 record and will look to improve on that number come January.
The game will be aired on Fox Soccer Channel and will kick off at 6 p.m. PT and 9 p.m. ET.
The USA is also trying to set up a match against Mexico in February, but the location of that match seems to be a hanging point.
