The U.S. soccer team may play an exhibition at home against El
Salvador on Feb. 24 as the Americans prepare for their sixth
straight World Cup appearance.
The United States opens its 2010 schedule Jan. 23 against
fellow World Cup qualifier Honduras in Carson, Calif., then meets
the Netherlands in Amsterdam on March 3, the only day before May
that clubs are required to release players to national teams.
The U.S. Soccer Federation said Friday that El Salvador was
among several teams it was speaking with for a February match.
At the World Cup in South Africa, the U.S. opens against
England on June 12, meets Slovenia six days later and closes the
first round against Algeria on June 23.
