Belgian newspaper is reporting a USA at Belgium friendly on September 8th. http://www.nieuwsblad.be/article/detail.aspx?articleid=GVO39E9P3
Re: USA at Belgium in September 2011 Personally, I hope they play Holland in Amsterdam again, because it would complete playing the two final teams within the same year.
Re: USA at Belgium in September 2011 I'm hoping for US vs Italy in either New Jersey or London one of these next few years. I want them to get that payback vs Rossi.
Re: USA at Belgium in September 2011 belgium, sounds good, a team that we havn't played in a while and one that is not doing too bad in euro qualifying. I'm going to be in columbus in august, it would be awesome if there was a friendly there in august (or anywhere in the midwest). as for revenge vs. rossi, the sweetest thing would be if he never plays in a world cup
Re: USA at Belgium in September 2011 September 8th is a Thursday; are you sure the paper got the date right? Only saying this from past experience as most international matches are at the weekend on the Saturday or Sunday, and if not they are played on Tuesday or Wednesday. This seems a little strange to me almost as if it's too early for the players coming from club competitions the week before.
Re: USA at Belgium in September 2011 Belgium has a EURO2012 qualifier on Friday September 2nd but then has the next matchday off. the next Euro qualifiers are scheduled for Tuesday, September 6th http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro2012/matches/index.html so, i think Tuesday or at the latest Wednesday the 7th is a more likely date IF this were to happen
Re: USA at Belgium in September 2011 The Belgian soccer federation (Royal Belgian Football Association) has Belgium scheduled to play the United States on September 6. http://www.footbel.be/en/nationale_elftallen/rode_duivels/programma.html

I am going to attend. I guess we need to buy tix from the Belgian federation. Or will USSF sell a block?
i am contacting the USSF to see if they will be getting any allocation to sell. will keep everyone who is interested posted.
I called Kim at USSF Supporters Club this morning. She said USSF will not be offering tickets and will have to contact Belgium FF.
I can't seem to find anything on Belgian FF... http://www.footbel.com/en.html anyone got any clues where to go for tickets?
its not unheard of for the USSF to not offer tickets for an away match. there have also been some qualifiers where they did not receive an allocation and offer tickets.
im in the same boat. doesnt look like the Belgian FA has put tickets on sale yet. id say keeping an eye on that website and/or emailing them for an onsale date is our best bet
i sent an email to the stadium operators and to the Belgian FA asking for instructions to purchase tickets. Here is what I got so far... Dear Mr. Nicholson, The King Baudouin Stadium hosts the football match Belgium - USA, but is not in charge of the actual organisation nor ticketing. For further information, please contact the official organisation: Royal Belgian Football Association 02/477 12 11 info@footbel.com - www.footbel.com Best regards, Marieke Quartier Communication Manager Prosport Bruxelles - Brussel ASBL - VZW Stade Roi Baudouin | Koning Boudewijnstadion
Yeah, One Goal USA had a good thing on that. The US fans stayed at the same hotel as the team, yet they couldn't buy tickets through the USSF.
The Belgian Federation site still has the tix for the Turkey game listed. There will be an announcement soon. Tickets should not be hard to come by for this one. Should US fans try to sit in the same section? They probably dont even separate the tickets for the US in Europe.
