Over the weekend tickets for the US vs Barbados Soccer Tickets World Cup qualifier went on sale. The game at Home Depot Center will be played on June 15th and is a 2pm kickoff P.S.T. For those not in the LA area, the game will be televised live on ESPN2 and Galavision.
Barbados represent one of the trickier matches in this round. Though they are relative newcomers to international competition and sit over 100 places below the US on the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, coach Eyre Sealy has a stable of no less than eleven England-based professionals to call on.
Emerson Boyce of Wigan Athletic played in the last round gainst Dominica (Barbados won the series 2-1 on aggregate). Also, Aston Villa striker Marlon Harewood, Tom Soares and Paul Ifill of Crystal Palace and Mark McCammon of Doncaster Rovers are just some of the English brigade eligible to play for the Bajan Braves.
This will be the U.S.’s first qualifying match for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. In preparation for this game the U.S. will play three friendly’s in June against top opposition. The U.S kicks of its warm-up games with a trip to famed Wembley Stadium for a May 28 clash with England. The U.S. will then face fourth-ranked Spain on June 4 at the Estadio El Sardinero in Spain, before heading back across the Atlantic to face No. 1-ranked Argentina on June 8 in New Jersey.
These three friendlies might be the toughest three game stretch in U.S. soccer history.
US Soccer is anticipating a sold-out Home Depot Center for the Barbados game and we have great tickets available.
