The United States, which plays friendlies against England, Spain and Argentina in the next month, plays the opening match of its home-and-away series against Barbados on June 15 at 5 p.m. (ET) at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. The second leg of the series is June 22 at a time yet to be determined.

Should the United States advance, they will play their first home qualifier of the four-team semifinal round group on Sept. 10 at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Ill., at 8 p.m., against the winner of the Trinidad & Tobago-Bermuda series.

On Oct. 11, the United States would face either Cuba or Antigua & Barbuda at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. at 4 p.m.

Semifinal round qualifying in CONCACAF will take place from August to November in 2008, with the teams divided into three groups of four teams each. Playing a six-game round robin format, the top two finishers from each group advance to the final six-team group that will be played in 2009.

The U.S. is gearing up for a trio of blockbuster friendlies in advance of the Barbados match, beginning 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 Santander, before heading back across the Atlantic to face No. 1-ranked Argentina on June 8 in New Jersey.
