The Official Draw and Dates for World Cup Qualifying took place in Johannesburg, South Africa earlier today, and included CONCACAF Hexagonal dates. There will be two meetings between CONCACAF champions USA, who will play at next year’s FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa, and rivals Mexico, who only managed to sneak into the final qualifying section after picking up one point from their last three games, including losses to Jamaica and Honduras.  Coach Bradley is happy.

**The first installment of the trans-Rio Grande clasico between the US and Mexico will take place in the US on Wednesday 11 February, while the return leg in Mexico will be staged on Wednesday 12 August.**
