Across the Atlantic Ocean, qualifying matches in the group stage for Euro 2012 conclude Tuesday. In the Concacaf region, the preliminary round of World Cup qualifiers is in full swing. And in South America, the marathon tournament that will lead to Brazil in 2014 has finally begun.

And in Miami Gardens, Fla., Saturday night, (6 p.m. Eastern, Fox Soccer and Univision) the United States men’s national team will trot on to the field for another meaningful meaningless friendly match, against Honduras — the fourth in the tenure of Coach Jurgen Klinsmann. That the American team has not yet won for its new coach (0-2-1) still warrants the obligatory mention. But really, no importa.

The match at Sun Life Stadium is the first of two domestic friendlies during the current break for internationals on the FIFA calendar (and even Major League Soccer is coming around, with only two league games scheduled this weekend). The team comes north on Sunday to prepare for Tuesday night’s match against Ecuador at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J. (The team’s training session, which begins at 5 p.m. Monday at the stadium, will be open to the public.)

Again for these two games, the American team has a distinctly German accent: in addition to Klinsmann, the roster includes Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Edson Buddle (Ingolstadt), Timmy Chandler (Nürnberg) and Danny Williams (Hoffenheim). Buddle was a late addition after Landon Donovan was forced to drop out after sustaining an injury in a match for the Los Angeles Galaxy last weekend. Williams, like Chandler, the son of an American serviceman and a German woman, only obtained his United States citizenship on Sept. 30 in Frankfurt, accompanied by his father.

“My father went with me to the embassy this past week and he was so, so proud of me,” Williams told Yanks-Abroad.com. “He said he loved it that his son now has an American passport. He is incredibly looking forward to me playing for the U.S. national team. When I was younger I always thought about having two passports but growing up I was so busy with soccer everything got sidetracked and we didn’t focus on it. He told me how happy he was that I now had a U.S. passport and that I would play for the country he was born and served.”

Klinsmann has also called in two national team veterans who had seemed to fall off the charts: defender Oguchi Onyewu and midfielder/forward DaMarcus Beasley. Michael Bradley is also back with the team after sorting out his club situation with a move from Germany to Italy with Chievo Verona.

Two players — goalkeeper Bill Hamid and Williams — are seeking their first international cap for the U.S.

The Honduras roster includes three players currently in M.L.S. — Martin Chavez (Dallas), Carlo Costly (Houston) and Roger Espinoza (Kansas City).

Here’s the U.S. roster:

Goalkeepers Bill Hamid (D.C.United), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)

Defenders Carlos Bocanegra (Rangers), Timmy Chandler (Nürnberg), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Oguchi Onyewu (Sporting Lisbon), Michael Orozco Fiscal (San Luis), Tim Ream (Red Bulls), Jonathan Spector (Birmingham City)

Midfielders Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Chievo Verona), Clint Dempsey (Fulham), Maurice Edu (Rangers), Jeff Larentowicz (Colorado), Brek Shea (Dallas), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim)

Forwards Juan Agudelo (Red Bulls), Jozy Altidore (AZ), DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Edson Buddle (Ingolstadt), Teal Bunbury (Sporting Kansas City)
