US Roster Announced For Cuba Game
Posted by: WVHooligan In: FIFA| MLS| US National Team| World Cup
The cries are already pouring in about this roster for next week’s World Cup qualifier against Cuba. RFK is the venue for next Saturday’s contest that should see the US through to the final stages of qualifying.
Here’s the roster, go ahead, complain about no Kenny Cooper.
The roster:
Keepers:
Brad Guzan – Aston Villa
Tim Howard – Everton
Troy Perkins – Valerenga
Defenders:
Carlos Bocanegra – Rennes
Dan Califf – Midtjylland
Steve Cherundolo – Hannover
Jay DeMerit – Watford
Frankie Hejduk – Columbus Crew
Oguchi Onyewu – Standard Liege
Michael Orozco – San Luis
Heath Pearce – Hansa Rostock
Midfielders:
Freddy Adu – Monaco
DaMarcus Beasley – Rangers
Michael Bradley – Monchengladbach
Maurice Edu – Rangers
Sacha Kljestan – Chivas USA
Danny Szetela – Brescia
Jose Francisco Torres – Pachuca
Fowards:
Jozy Altidore – Villarreal
Brian Ching – Houston Dynamo
Charlie Davies – Hammarby
Clint Dempsey – Fulham
Landon Donovan – Los Angeles Galaxy
I like the additions of Davies and Altidore. Yes Brian Ching is getting a bit old but I will take that over Bradley calling in Eddie Johnson for the 100th time. Big news is also surrounding the call-up of Jose Francisco Torres. Some felt Torres would end up calling Mexico as his home instead of the US (he holds a duel citizenship). I like that Bradley is giving him a chance to show his stuff and it’s great he decided on the US instead of Mexico too!
What do you all make of this roster? Predictable? Better than before?
