    Surprised to see no thread on this here. Just announced by USSF. Match will come six days prior to start of Gold Cup. A nice match for the team.

    Paraguay will be a good warm up match.

    Now the big question, will Chilavert be there?

    Why are the ticket prices so much cheaper for this game than the USA-Mexico game in Houston? I just paid a fortune for those tickets!!

    And we should have our Gold Cup roster playing in it, which will make it that much better.

    Will they wear those meat-colored uniforms (actually, it is copper, their country's main export)?

    Getting to play friendlies at future WCQ sites makes sense.

    At least for this qualifier the chances of fans freezing their butts off will be slim. :)

    Can you buy a combo ticket?

    I believe the Crew have a game that same day, I was wondering if you can get one ticket for both matches?

    Reliant's a nice ass stadium, CCS is alot of conrete with bleachers. That's pretty much why.

    A friendly, live on ESPN2??? WOW!!

    Either ESPN is waking up to FSW, or perhaps they are starting to notice the plethora of negativism on these threads.

    06 July vs Paraguay

    Is this game necessary? Assuming the men play in the confed final 29 june, that only leaves 2 wks to set up camp, recover from injuries and prepare game plans for the GC. On the other hand, the game would be useful if Il Bruce plans major roster changes for the two tourneys (this could be another topic: different rosters for the 2 tourneys?)

    It's just another game for Bruce to feel out younger talent. However, it's not going to be highly attended..

    Thanks for info. Shows you how dumb I am.... I had no idea they charged different prices for different stadiums.

    sucks that it's like that...i'd take a CCS over a reliant anyday, but i'm a traditionalist and don't like all the fancy new stadiums replacing the old ones with history.

    This game will be my 3rd cap, my return to national team action if you will. My other games were both at the Silverdome in a 1992 friendly against the C.I.S. team that visited here, and then of course the biggie, US-Switzerland in the World Cup.

    I'm definitely excited to see this one.
