United States to travel to Ireland for friendly in June

The United States will play the Republic of Ireland in a friendly in Dublin on June 2, a matchup of teams that failed to qualify for the World Cup.

The Football Association of Ireland announced the game on Friday. The U.S. Soccer Federation doesn't announce matches until it has a signed contract.

France announced in December they will play the Americans on June 9 in Lyon. The USSF also has yet to confirm that game.

Since failing to qualify for the World Cup, the U.S. has played a pair of matches under interim coach Dave Sarachan, drawing 1-1 at Portugal in November and 0-0 at home against Bosnia and Herzegovina last month.
