Player Profile: (3) Carlos Bocanegra

Born: 25th May, 1979
Hometown: Alto Loma, California
Height: 6′
Weight: 170 lbs (light for a 6 footer)
Caps: 38 (6 goals)
World Cups: -
Clubs: Fulham (2004-present), Chicago Fire (2000-2004)
College: UCLA
Positions: CB (probably his best position, though he’s maybe a little light. He’ll never beat Onyewu in an arm-wrestle.) LB (can definitely do it, has a sweet left peg, but maybe not quick enough to be Roberto Carlos)
Arena says: “Carlos is one of those guys that is a difficult decision. We have to predict if he’s healthy, and this (selection) can be scrutinized. Here’s a guy who has played a lot of games in the Premiership.”
Assessment:Probably won’t start if everyone is healthy, but can comfortably fill in at left bacl or central defence. Looked solid against Venezuela in the Send-Off Series, but took things a little too literally and got his marching orders towards the end.
