MEN'S NATIONAL TEAM ON THE ROAD

CHICAGO (Thursday, October 27, 2005) - U.S. Soccer has secured an additional match for the U.S. Men's National Team in 2005 on short notice, allowing the team to travel to Scotland to face the Tartan Army at famed Hampden Park on Saturday, Nov. 12 in Glasgow. The match will be the 20th of the year for the USA and will kickoff in Scotland at 4:00 p.m. GMT. Hampden Park is one of the most storied facilities in Britain, and is the National Stadium of Scotland. Opened in the early 1900s, the stadium hosted a record crowd of 149,415 in 1937 for a Scotland v. England match. They hosted over 130,000 fans at the 1960 European Cup final, a 7-3 win for Real Madrid against Eintracht Frankfurt. The current stadium capacity is 52,000.

"With only one international fixture date next year, this is an excellent opportunity to get our group together as we continue to shape our team for the World Cup," said U.S. Manager Bruce Arena, who is expected to call in a squad made up predominantly of Americans playing in Europe. "Scotland is traditionally a very solid team, and we are looking forward to the game."

Tickets are now available to ussoccerfan.com members via an order form available at ussoccer.com. Orders may be placed by fax or mail at a cost of $40 per ticket (plus a $10 fee per order for processing/shipping) via Money Order, Visa and MasterCard through Monday, October 31.

The U.S. has played Scotland five times in their history, holding a lifetime record of just 1-3-1, but hasn't played in Scotland in 53 years. The team's lone match in Scotland came way back on Aug. 30, 1952, when the Tartan Army blanked the U.S. 6-0 in Glasgow. The teams last met in the USA's final preparation match before the 1998 FIFA World Cup, playing to a scoreless draw on May 30, 1998, in Washington, D.C.

The OC is in the house!

I did not know that Feilhaber was from Irvine.

I think that our posters from Germany have seen some of these players more than we have.

Ben Olsen plays with a lot of heart, but has he really been the same since his year-long hiatus due to his broken ankle? He seems to be an Arena favorite.

I look foward to seeing Onyewu continue to grow.

Santino Quaranta? I'm still not convinced.

And finally, I'd like to see more production out of Josh Wolff.

Are you Utah guys getting togther for this on Saturday?
