The U.S. Men’s National Team announced today that they will play a friendly 2010 World Cup Champion, Spain in preparation for the 2011 Gold Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpain is clearly one of the most talented teams in the world,\u201d said U.S. head coach Bob Bradley. \u201cWe value the opportunity to test ourselves against a team of their quality, and we couldn\u2019t ask for a better match to prepare for the Gold Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n

The clash with the No. 1-ranked team in the world is set for Gillette Stadium in Foxborough Massachuetts, on June 4th.<\/p>\n

This will be the first match between the two sides on American soil and the first since the 2009 Confederations Cup, in which the United States shocked Spain with a 2-0 win.<\/p>\n

The U.S. is making its 12th appearance in Foxborough, posting an impressive 9-1-2 record. Remarkably, 10 of the 12 matches have been either in the Gold Cup or FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The U.S. has tallied 28 goals and surrendered six in the facility, with eight shutouts.<\/p>\n

The match against Spain will be the team\u2019s final preparation before they join Group C of the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup along with Canada, Panama and Guadeloupe. The U.S. will first take on Canada on June 7 at 8 p.m. ET at Ford Field in Detroit.<\/p>\n

The team then travels south to face Panama on June 11 at 8 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., before rounding out group play against Guadeloupe on June 14 at the brand new LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, with kickoff slated for 8 p.m. CT. The U.S. will be attempting to earn its fifth confederation championship title.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
