Looks like confirmed, US vs Colombia Oct 11 in Tampa. https://www.tampabay.com/sports/201...me-of-u-s-mens-national-teams-kickoff-series/ And just hunch but my guess is the Argentinian doesn’t happen.
The window is the 8th thru the 18th, so expect Tuesday October 16 for the second match. The Bears will be on the road and after a bye week so Soldier Field still makes sense, though who knows since the original Colombia rumor was Miami. /I miss the good old days when we would play international games on weekends.

It's just harder to do if you want to get two games in during the international break during the Euro seasons. Ghana was a summer game. I'm tying to remember the last time we had a Tuesday/Saturday set of games.
http://www.eloratings.net/United_States has our results. If you want to spend time looking at a calendar to check what days of the week games were, you can.
Galcerep or a similar soccer writer said they were negotiating with M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore last week.
USMNT to play Peru in October friendly https://sbisoccer.com/2018/09/usmnt-to-play-peru-in-october-friendly
That says it will be in East Hartford, where we hosted Ghana in July 2017. Over the last ten years, what venues have hosted the most USMNT friendlies?
The US will be in Group D of the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup with 3 teams who have yet to qualify. 1st Game: June 18th at Allianz Field in Minneapolis 2nd Game: June 22nd at First Energy Stadium in Cleveland 3rd Game: June 26th at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City Quarterfinals: June 30th at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia Semifinals: July 3rd at Nissan Stadium in Nashville Final: July 7th at Soldier Field in Chicago
In the five Gold Cups from 2005 through 2013, USA played in the Pacific time zone. 2015 and 2019 will make two out of three Gold Cups that USA played only in the Eastern and Central time zones. I hope that means USA won't have any games start 9:00 P.M. or later.
Would it be time to start a 2019 thread? With the Costa Rica friendly announced for earlier February, Gold Cup group stage games announced, the schedule looks pretty determined for the first half of 2019. There are also strong rumours for March 2019 of friendlies vs Chile: http://www.latercera.com/el-deportivo/noticia/chile-jugara-estados-unidos-marzo/407377/ and Ecuador: http://www.ecuavisa.com/articulo/deportes/nacional/432901-ecuador-jugara-contra-eeuu-marzo-del-2019 Somebody also put Japan as the pre-Gold Cup friendly game on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is obviously not a reliable source, but it's not too outlandish a possibility given that Japan will need a pre 2019 Copa América friendly in a similar time zone. Makes sense to stop in the USA before flying south to Brazil. To recap what is likely for the #USMNT in 2019: late January: opponent TBD February 2nd: Costa Rica March 22nd: Ecuador March 26th: Chile early June: Japan mid-June to mid-July: Gold Cup. September: Concacaf Nations League x2 October: Concacaf Nations League x2 November: Concacaf Nations League x2
The Chile game is a go for the late March FIFA dates. Likely in Houston (but possibly in San Diego). http://chile.as.com/chile/2018/12/15/futbol/1544832342_272305.html Because the #USMNT is already playing the Camp Cupcake games in California and Arizona and the El Tri signed an agreement recently to play one friendly a year in Dallas, it makes the US game more likely to be the Houston one than the San Diego one. No update as of yet about the Ecuador one.
