U.S. to face Brazil in September friendly, report says

The United States will host Brazil in a friendly in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Sept. 8, according to a report by the Boston Globe.

Neither country has yet to announce the game, though the Brazil federation has said its team would play two games in the U.S. this September -- one against Argentina.

A day earlier, U.S. Soccer announced a friendly against Peru set for Sept. 4 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C.

The two games could see the return to the U.S. squad of first-choice goalkeeper Tim Howard, who is targeting a September return after taking a year away from national team duty.

The Americans will come back to the New England Revolution's Gillette Stadium for the second time in two months, the Globe says, after not playing at the venue since 2011.

Foxborough is also the site of Friday's CONCACAF Gold Cup match between the U.S. and Haiti.

Brazil has played in Foxborough three times since 2007, but never against the the U.S.
