National Team Update
So the World Cup roster has been announced and looks likes this:
Goalkeepers
Kasey Keller (Borussia Moenchengladbach), Marcus Hahnemann (Reading) and Tim Howard (Manchester United)
Defenders
Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Eddie Pope (Real Salt Lake), Oguchi Onyewu (Standard Liege), Eddie Lewis (Leeds United), Frankie Hejduk (Columbus), Carlos Bocanegra (Fulham), Cory Gibbs (ADO Den Haag) and Jimmy Conrad (Kansas City)
Midfielders
Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy), Claudio Reyna (Manchester City), John O’Brien (Chivas USA), DaMarcus Beasley (PSV Eindhoven), Clint Dempsey (New England), Bobby Convey (Reading), Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado) and Ben Olsen (D.C. United)
Forwards
Brian McBride (Fulham), Eddie Johnson (Kansas City), Brian Ching (Houston), and Josh Wolff (Kansas City)
I could have done without Olsen and Ching (where's Taylor Twellman?), and I most definitely could have done without Hejduk. But maybe that's just me.
