US Roster Announced For Argentina Friendly
Posted by: WVHooligan In: FIFA| US National Team
U.S. Soccer has announced the 19-man roster for the Argentina friendly on Sunday and it is missing a few names fans and myself were hoping to see.
Here is the 19-man roster:
Goalkeepers- Dominic Cervi (out of contract), Brad Guzan (Chivas USA), Tim Howard (Everton FC)
Defenders- Dan Califf (FC Midtjylland), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Jay DeMerit (Watford FC), Frankie Hejduk (Columbus Crew), Oguchi Onyewu (Standard de Liege), Heath Pearce (Hansa Rostock)
Midfielders- Freddy Adu (SL Benfica), DaMarcus Beasley (Glasgow Rangers), Michael Bradley (SC Heerenveen), Maurice Edu (Toronto FC), Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA), Eddie Lewis (Derby County), Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado Rapids)
Forwards- Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy), Clint Dempsey (Fulham FC), Eddie Johnson (Fulham FC)
No Kenny Cooper, no Robbie Rogers. I know Jozy Altidore was hurt yesterday but he’s not healthy enough for this one? Its all a bit surprising to see some of the same names. Thankfully no Nate Jaqua or Josh Wolff for this one.
I’m still confused about the three keeper call-up here for this game. Do we really need a back-up for the back-up?
Anyways, hopefully Donovan and Adu will be able to go a full 90 or at least the majority of the game. I think the US should be able to play fine with Argentina. Though after the other night when Argentina dominated Mexico, I really wonder how the US can stand up against this team.
What do you all see for this friendly on Sunday? Another loss? If so by how much?
