US Team Medical Examination

What were you were doing at 6:30 a.m. this Saturday morning? I was dreaming pleasant dreams of F.A. Cup Final anticipation.

The squad in Cary however, were up and out of bed to be “picked and poked at” (according to Clint Dempsey) for the most comprehensive medical exam a US team has ever taken.

There were blood tests, followed by a gruelling treadmill-on-an-incline stress test, vision tests and, somewhat bizarrely, a dental exam.
