U.S. to Play Sweden Jan. 24 in Carson
U.S. Soccer announced today its customary new year friendly at Home Depot Center Jan. 24 following a week-long U.S. Men's National Team training camp.
The 5:30 p.m. game will air live on Fox Soccer Channel and Galavision.
The U.S. beat Sweden 2-0 last January in a game that saw the Galaxy's Landon Donovan set the all-time U.S. scoring record. The U.S. is making its sixth visit to Home Depot Center where it has a 4-0-1 record.
Next year is a big one for the U.S. with CONCACAF Final Round qualifying for the 2010 World Cup, the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup and the 2009 Confederations Cup.
Tickets, priced between $18 and $60, go on sale Monday.

I wish they would have released info sooner. I just got an email for the pre-sale tomorrow. There is no way I can get all my friends to respond in time to take advantage of the presale.
