INSTEAD OF PLAYING Colombia, the No. 4 team in the world, the United States men's national team will face off against 21st-ranked Ecuador on October 10th in East Hartford, Connecticut.

Instead of testing themselves against the likes of James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao, Jurgen Klinsmann's men will get a rematch with the team that it lost to at Red Bull Arena in 2011.

The Ecuador soccer federation announced the match in July, and stated that the contest would take place on October 14 or 16.

Hey—they were close.

And yes, Klinsmann provided a quote. Here you go.

"We are really excited to get our first chance to play at home after the World Cup," Klinsmann said. "The support from our fans in the United States and everyone that traveled to Brazil was awesome, and we want to build on that energy. We have an exciting four years ahead of us, and this is just the beginning. The U.S. team has a great history at Rentschler Field, so we are hoping for another big crowd against Ecuador."

Tickets go on sale August 21 for the 7 p.m. match.
