However, playing only the anthems of the two teams competing a soccer match is standard for such international games, including the World Cup.

Year after year, the US probably hosts more friendly matches between foreign teams than any other country in the world, so the cookie cutter solution is not applicable here. The USSF oversees the match, so our anthem should be played.
