World Cup 2014: Jurgen Klinsmann is confident split will come on U.S. soil

Dempsey said the match will be made even more special because it falls on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. He was a student at Furman University that day and recalled watching the horror enfold on a TV set in a dining hall.

“As a country, we always remember that and it’s impacted everyone’s life,” he said. “Everybody remembers where they were on that day.”

US Soccer selected the venue because of a loyal following and past success. And so far, so good. After all, more than 3,000 cheering fans showed up Sunday for the American open practice.

The U.S. side has a record of 5-0-3 overall and 4-0-2 in World Cup qualifiers in Crew Stadium.
