TT - Familiar Foes

When the USA faces Honduras in Thursday's semifinal in the Gold Cup, it will be the third time in 47 days that the teams have met in official competitions, and the second time at Soldier Field. That can't happen very often, can it?

Yes, that's actually a question - in two parts:

a) Has the U.S. ever faced a team three times in that short a time span?
2) If so, who and when?

We played Ecuador three times in less than a week back in 1988. . .

Chile, three times, over five days before we played Ecuador over six days in 1988, according to eloratings.net.
