US Men's Football Team Takes on Honduras Saturday VOA Sports 2 Mar 2002 03:23 UTC 
Washington state native Kasey Keller will be in goal Saturday when the U.S. men's soccer team takes on Honduras in an international friendly match in Seattle, Washington.
Keller posted four shutouts in five victories at the recent CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament, which the U.S. won. The goalkeeper has not lost a game in 15-consecutive appearances for the U.S. squad since 1998.
The Honduras match is expected to help U.S. coach Bruce Arena as he determines the roster for this year's World Cup.
The game is the first soccer match at Seattle's Safeco Field, the home of Major League Baseball's Seattle Mariners. The last time an international match was played in Seattle was a 1-1 draw between the United States and Russia at the Kingdome prior to the 1994 World Cup.
The Americans have five wins and one loss this year. In addition to Honduras, the U.S. team will play El Salvador, Canada, Costa Rica, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Uruguay, Jamaica, and the Netherlands as it prepares for this year's World Cup in South Korea and Japan.
