Who: The United States Men's National Team (USMNT) and the Belgium Men's National Team.
What: An international friendly.
Where: King Baudouin Stadium, Brussels, Belgium and on ESPN and ESPN3.
When: 2:30 pm EST is currently the designated kickoff time.
The USMNT is 0-1-1 so far into Jurgen Klinsmann's reign as coach, having lost to Costa Rica 1-0 and drew 1-1 with Mexico. Still looking for his first win as coach, Klinsmann has kept much of the same lineup as he has employed in his other two games in charge. The main changes are the additions of Steve Cherundolo and Clint Dempsey, both of whom join the team after starting the 2011-2011 English Premier League and Bundesliga seasons.
USA: 1-Tim Howard; 2-Steve Cherundolo, 4-Clarence Goodson, 5-Carlos Bocanegra (capt.), 3-Timmy Chandler; 6-Maurice Edu, 10- Jose Torres, 8-Clint Dempsey; 7-Robbie Rogers, 9-Jozy Altidore, 11-Brek Shea; Bench:12-Bill Hamid, 13- Michael Orozco Fiscal, 14-Kyle Beckerman, 15-Jeff Larentowicz, 16-Sacha Kljestan, 17- Jonathan Spector, 18-Juan Agudelo
Still waiting on Belgium's starting line up and bench players, but Edin Hazard and Romelu Lukaku should be the two names that USMNT fans should look out for.

Felliani, Hazard and Witsel have been causing a lot of problems for the USMNT.

Do not understand swapping Altidore for Agudelo. RT @ussoccer: Two subs for the #USMNT: Agudelo on for Altidore; Beckerman on for Rogers.

Altidore probably got subbed because his Alkmaar coach
complained yesterday about Jozy being available for both matches.
Rob Stone reported he picked up a knock.
