Sorry for my delay on getting to this today. Lots have been going on as you can see. But rosters were finally given out today for the friendly with England on May 28 at Wembley Stadium (3pm, ESPN Classic). The 22-man roster chosen by U.S. national team coach Bob Bradley has a couple surprises but it mostly a Euro-based lineup with only a couple MLS players.

We pretty much expected this game to be the case. There had been talk of Bradley not calling in players who haven’t had experience in games overseas. Which would easily mean that there would be no Robbie Rogers and guys like that.

Its a solid roster. Then again England is bringing their stuff as well. The LA Galaxy will obviously be hurting next week with both Donovan and Beckham gone. It may be cool to see those two square off in the game though.

Here is the US roster:

GOALKEEPERS – Dominic Cervi (Out of Contract), Brad Guzan (Chivas USA), Tim Howard (Everton FC)

DEFENDERS – Carlos Bocanegra (Fulham FC), Dan Califf (FC Midtjylland), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Jay DeMerit (Watford FC), Oguchi Onyewu (Standard de Liege), Michael Orozco (San Luis), Heath Pearce (Hansa Rostock), Jonathan Spector (West Ham United)

MIDFIELDERS – Freddy Adu (SL Benfica), DaMarcus Beasley (Glasgow Rangers), Michael Bradley (SC Heerenveen), Ricardo Clark (Houston Dynamo), Benny Feilhaber (Derby County), Eddie Lewis (Derby County)

FORWARDS – Clint Dempsey (Fulham FC), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy), Nate Jaqua (Out of Contract), Eddie Johnson (Fulham FC), Josh Wolff (Out of Contract) Continue Reading…
