US Men's Soccer Won't Play In October; 3-Match Max In 2020

CHICAGO (AP) -- The U.S. men's soccer team has given up trying to play matches in October due to the coronavirus pandemic and will be limited to a maximum of three games in 2020.

It's the fewest since 1987. The U.S. Soccer Federation is attempting to schedule a pair of friendlies for Europe in November.

The only match this year was a 1-0 win over Costa Rica on Feb. 1 at Carson, California. World Cup qualifying was rescheduled to start in June 2021 but CONCACAF said it will be postponed again.
