The United States Men’s National Team will play Bolivia on Memorial Day in Chester, Pennsylvania.
Before embarking on a trip to Europe to face the Republic of Ireland and France, the USMNT play host to the South American side at Talen Energy Stadium on May 28.
“With the addition of the Bolivia game, we have a great set of experiences on the table for our young players this summer,” USMNT head coach Dave Sarachan said. “Bolivia presents different challenges than Ireland and France. We’re thrilled to be starting the tour in Philadelphia, one of the great soccer communities in the United States and a fan base that has always supported the National Team.”
The trio of games comes right after the conclusion of the European season, which means we could a mixture of European-based players and those from MLS with the focus being on developing younger talent.
There are rumors Weah will get a call to the senior team. The USA U20 is having a friendly in Europe and he is not in that group but Sargent is.
We need all friendlies could get!
Still pathetic by USSF not having USNT playing Iceland, Peru or Croatia!
Sounds like Dave is expecting to be the manager through the Summer.
Yes, It is very likely that US Soccer will not make any other decision until at least near the end of the 2018 WC. I am sure (or at least hope) that US Soccer is already reaching out to potential candidates to learn if they are interested as well as to make sure that their vision of soccer development in the US matches reality.
The USSF is not going to hire a coach until after they’ve hired a GM. I haven’t heard any real progress on the GM front, just a few names that have been thrown around; so don’t expect anything on the coaching front for a couple months after they hire the GM.
We’re going to stuck with Sarachan for a while yet.
