Almost three years after being part of the Argentina squad that Tim Howard shut out in a memorable 0-0 tie at Giants Stadium, Lionel Messi will be returning to New Jersey to try again to beat Howard and the U.S. men's national team.

Messi, Real Madrid's Angel DiMaria and Palermo's Javier Pastore are just some of the names on a star-studded squad called up by Argentina to take on the United States (March 26th) and Costa Rica (March 29th).

Argentina's national team on Friday announced its roster for two exhibition games in the United States later this month. Argentina will play the United States on March 26 at New Meadowlands Stadium, then cross the country to play Costa Rica on March 29 at San Jose, Calif.

The roster for the games includes familiar names like Lionel Messi and Javier Mascherano of Barcelona and the 37-year-old Javier Zanetti and Esteban Cambiasso of Inter.
