Lovely accent you got there, New Jersey?

The U.S. men's national team has added one more friendly before things get serious in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

They'll meet Australia, another World Cup squad, June 5 in Roodepoort-a suburb of Johannesburg.

It's the third time the nations have met. Australia won 1-0 in Orlando, Fla. back in June 1992 and they played to a 1-1 tie in San Jose, Calif. in November 1998.

It also involves rival nations trying to win rights to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.

The 18th-ranked U.S. plays the No. 25 Czech Republic at East Hartford, Conn., on May 25 and meets No. 41 Turkey four days later at Philadelphia before traveling to South Africa, where the Americans are in a first-round group with eighth-ranked England (June 12), 27th-ranked Slovenia (June 18) and 32nd-ranked Algeria (June 23).

Australia, ranked 23rd, is in a first-round group with fifth-ranked Germany (June 13), 28th-ranked Ghana (June 19) and 13th-ranked Serbia (June 23).
