Bradley names roster for Guatemala WCQ

Thursday, 14 August 08, 10:51 PM

The U-23's may be out of the Bejing Olympics but the senior side is back in action on August 20 for a World Cup qualifying semi-final round match-up at Guatemala's Estadio Mateo Flores in Guatemala City.

All 17 players were on the US roster that man-handled poor Barbados.

"We are excited to begin the next phase of qualifying," Bradley said. "There are no easy games, and we know that Guatemala is a very difficult team to play against at home. It's important that we start off the semifinal round in a positive way, and we are confident the work from the last 18 months has prepared us for the task."

Hopefully Guatemalan supporters won't dump cups of urine on our boys this time.
