The long awaited 2nd game in the US and their 2020 European Tour has been set, March 30, Cardiff CIty Stadium will be the host for the 2:30 p.m. ET kick. Just 4 days after the Holland game at Phillips Stadium in Eindhoven.  The first game will be carried by FS1, UniMas & TUDN as the next will start at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2, UniMas & TUDN. This new game will be between the pair of teams tied with a #22 World Ranking as the #14 Holland is but the 4th top 20 team to take on the USMNT with coach Gregg Berhalter, yet the 10th over the last 2 years. Can you believe it is the initial visit to Wales and just the 2nd game ever? Ryan Giggs, the legendary player from Manchester United now leads the team with the star player Gareth Bale of Real Madrid as they prep for the 2020 EUFA Championship behind the 4X UEFA Champions League winner in Bale. Wales is in Group A with Italy, Switerland & Turkey. For their part the USMNT are using these games to prep for the Concacaf Nations League semis and 2020 FIFA World Cup Qualifying beginning in September.

Berhalter stated " One of the most important parts of continuing to develop this group is the opportunity to play against high-level opponents away from home. The Netherlands is a soccer powerhouse featuring some of the world's best talent."
