Greg Seltzer posted that the Nats will travel to face Italy on February 29th. http://www.noshortcorners.com/2011/11/thats-spicy-meat-ball.html

It's not official confirmation, but I trust Greg enough to at least start up the 2012 Schedule thread . . .

This post can serve as a placeholder if nothing else since the broad parameters of the USMNT World Cup qualifiers next year are known.

US enters Concacaf's 3rd Round Stage in Group A and, between June 1 and Oct 16, will play home and away against Jamaica, Guatemala and Antigua with the top 2 teams in the Group advancing to the Hex in 2013

Haven't seen anything about the order of the games or actual dates but it may be out there somewhere.

Literally nothing since Greg dropped the news. I assume it's going to happen, because Greg said it was going to happen, but I'm not going to make it official quite yet.

tab5g · Nov 21, 2011

nothing confirmed, but NBC Sports (nee Versus) looks to be ramping to cover a match in January (I'd guess that would be the USA friendly at Panama).

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/grant_wahl/11/21/harkes.espn/index.html?sct=sc_t2_a3

The landscape of national soccer broadcasts has been changing lately, with NBC Sports/Versus taking over Fox Soccer's package of MLS and U.S. games for 2012-14. What's more, Fox's recent surprise victory in securing the English-language rights to broadcast World Cups '18 and '22 (over ESPN and NBC) has signaled that Fox intends to be a major player as the demand for soccer in America grows larger.

NBC Sports and Fox are still in the process of finalizing their on-air talent for 2012. In conversations with several sources here on MLS Cup weekend, I learned a few things. NBC Sports is currently pursuing Arlo White and Kyle Martino as their targets for broadcasts that could begin as soon as January. White, a British expat, has worked the past two years as the local voice of the Seattle Sounders. Martino, a former MLS Rookie of the Year, has been Fox Soccer's booth analyst for MLS and U.S. games this year.

It's possible that White and Martino could turn down NBC and stay in their current positions. I'm also hearing it's likely that veteran play-by-play man JP Dellacamera will stay at Fox Soccer while continuing to work as the local voice of the Philadelphia Union.

Although there are no matches scheduled (yet), we do know the following:

FIFA Match Dates (Friendlies)

February 29th
November 14th.

Not speculating on who we'll play, just saying it's likely we'll play someone on those dates.

Full list of FIFA dates (and also keep in mind the USA isn't limited to these dates -- if they're willing able to play without guys who are in-season with their clubs) --> http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/calendar/events.html

it is also likely/possible that the USA could/would use the 01-05 June International match days to play a friendly or two a week ahead of WCQ.

Hello U.S. Fans. Quick question here, have any of you heard anything about a "supposed" Friendly match vs. Mexico August (Guessing the 15th since that's the only August Friendly date on FIFA's Calendar) 2012 at The Azteca? I read about it in a article but don't know how reliable it is, so I stopped by to ask you..

Steve Goff posted specifics about the USSF budget last week, and there may be a hint to the rumor you mention there . . .

"*The men’s senior team is slated to play away friendlies in June and August 2012. The USSF will receive $25,000 for those appearances; team expenses are projected at more than $300,000 for each trip. A major home friendly (known as a “premium” match) is planned for June with 55,000 spectators at an average ticket price of $67 for gate revenue of $3.7 million. The event expenses plus U.S. team expenses would total $1.8 million, for an anticipated surplus of $1.9 million. (And you wonder why the USA plays Mexico at home regularly.)

The team is also pegged to play an away match next fall that would bring in $100,000 (offset by $400,000 in expenses). The World Cup qualifying schedule includes two matches in June, two in September and two in October, plus three in early 2013, assuming the Americans advance to the final round. The semifinal-round home games are money-losers because of typically modest turnouts for lower-ranked opponents. The away matches garner no revenue and cost nearly $600,000 apiece in expenses."

I'll be sure to keep an eye out there.
