After the excitement and then bitter failure in the Gold Cup final against Mexico last weekend, the U.S. men's national team will officially try to put that behind them starting in September.
They'll travel to Brussels, Belgium on September 6 to take on the Belgian national team.
The exhibition at Stade Roi Baudouin will be the first game for the United States since its 4-2 loss to Mexico on June 25 in the Gold Cup final. Belgium plays Azerbaijan on Sept. 2 in a European Championship qualifier.
The game will be the fourth meeting between the two countries.
The United States won the first game, a 3-0 victory during the 1930 World Cup in Uruguay. But Belgium has won the last two, both played in Brussels, with the teams last playing in 1998.
This is a decent friendly for Bob Bradley's team; they play a mid-level European squad that they rarely see and it's on the road which is always a good experience for a team that's trying to get better.
The happiest person in the world has to be my best friend from home that actually lives in Belgium right now. Hopefully I can get him to go to the game and file a real report for us.
