The men's national team, despite having no coach or meaningful matches to prepare for in the immediate future, is quickly filling up its dance card for January. It was announced Monday that Les Rouges will take on the U.S.A. in a friendly in Houston on Jan. 29, three days after playing a friendly against Denmark in Tucson, Arizona.
The match -- much like the Denmark friendly -- is nothing more than an opportunity to get a look at some younger and/or domestic players as Canada embarks on a long rebuilding project ahead of (sigh) Russia 2018. Still, the Americans will presumably have some motivation, as they use the friendly as preparation for the resumption of qualifying for Brazil 2014.
And, c'mon, it's us against the Americans! That's always meaningful, right? Right?!!
