USA to take on Czech Republic and Turkey prior to WC

The USA national team will take on the Czech Republic and Turkey in preparation matches leading into June's World Cup. Bob Bradley's squad will face the Czechs on May 25 at a venue yet to be determined before playing their last match before embarking on their South Africa journey against Turkey on May 29 in Philadelphia.

"We are very pleased to get two quality opponents in the Czech Republic and Turkey in preparation for the World Cup," said Bradley. "These games will provide a great opportunity to fine tune our plans for the matches in South Africa and test ourselves against some of the better teams in Europe.

"We are particularly excited about playing our final match in the United States prior to the World Cup in Philadelphia, a city rich in soccer tradition. Lincoln Financial Field has proven to be an excellent venue for international soccer, and the fans have shown tremendous support for the sport. We anticipate a fantastic environment in our last game before heading to South Africa."
