https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/20...9-against-france-on-jan-19-in-la-havre-france The press release has a date of November 9, 2018. I just found it on the "Schedule & Tickets" page.
Its a friendly at the beginning of the year. The draw for the WWC hasn't happened yet, and it is impossible for the US and France to face each other in the group stage (since both will be seeded).
Yes, this is the Match that the Mayor of La Havre leaked months ago but both Federations didn't confirm until now. "Rumored" to be one of two matches in Europe in January 2019. Hopefully, Lil will scour her Euro-sources for the other Match and report back. BostonRed stated in another thread that these Port/Scot November 2018 Matches were originally scheduled to be against Swiss/Dutch (cancelled due to their WWC qualifying playoffs). Is it reasonable speculation that we reschedule with one of those teams?!? I mean, we know how much US Soccer luvvvvs their cold weather games. And I hear that the Pitch at the base of the Matterhorn is available in this time frame.
Was at the base of the Matterhorn last Summer, in a town called Zermatt (could only get there by rail). Beautiful country, but unfortunately it was cloudy and drizzly. This is not my photo, but the building on the left looks a lot like our hotel:
Yes, dry run in prep for next summer. Little birdie tells me 2nd January Euro match to be announced 1st week of December. BuuuuuuuuuutWTHDIK.
Alex is going to ____ on everyone in 2019. She will play like a 99 player at the World Cup. Can you say Golden Ball?
Well... I live in the UK so it’s a little bit further but my friends in Lyon have a massive AirBnB that I’ve booked for the semis and final. If I’m not working I’ll be there. If I am working it’s up for grabs.
