Subtle changes allow United States to close 2011 with win over Slovenia. France capitalizes on defensive error to send U.S. down to defeat. U.S. men play Ecuador well, but are undone by late defensive failure. Klinsmann gets first victory at U.S. helm, helped by Dempsey strike. U.S. creates little attack, falls meekly to Belgium 1-0. As Klinsmann evaluates talent, U.S. suffers disjointed loss to Costa Rica. Trio of reserves spark U.S. comeback to draw with Mexico. Ahead by two goals, U.S. defense collapses and Mexico cruises to capture Gold Cup. Dempsey goal sends U.S. past Panama and into Gold Cup final. Americans dominate Jamaica and earn Gold Cup rematch with Panama in semifinals. U.S. advances to Gold Cup quarters, but win over Guadaloupe lacks finish. Americans can't come back from slow start, fall to Panama in Gold Cup. U.S. opens Gold Cup with convincing 2-0 win over Canada. Spain sends U.S. off to Gold Cup with bad beating. Next up for the U.S. will be a contest June 4 with Spain in Foxborough, Mass. U.S. earns respectable 1-1 draw with Argentina though effort lacked. U.S. displays little in unexciting 0-0 draw with Colombia before small crowd. After twice relinquishing leads, U.S. settles for 2-2 draw with Poland.

(Monday, November 21, 2011) -- CONCACAF, the region for North America, Central America and the Caribbean, last week released the schedule for its third round of qualifying for World Cup 2014 in Brazil. To be competed between June and October, there are three groups and the top two teams in each group will advance to the final round. From that six-team group, the top three finishers will earn spots in Brazil and the fourth team will have to play a two-match series against the fifth-place finisher from South America. With the U.S. in Group A are Jamaica, Guatemala and the small Caribbean island nation of Antigua & Barbuda. The most interesting dates on the schedule for the U.S. are a two match series against Jamaica over a four-day period in September. The U.S. goes to Kingston on September 7, then hosts the Reggae Boyz on September 11. Sites for the U.S. home matches have yet to be determined. The most competitive group seems to be Group B with Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Guyana.
