USA Roster For Guatemala Game

February 15th, 2006 | by: Daryl |

With LA Galaxy and New England Rev players heading back to their clubs to prepare for their CONCACAF Champion’s Cup games, Arena is left with the following 17 man roster to face Carlos Ruiz et al:

GOALKEEPERS (2):
Brad Guzan (Chivas USA)
Zach Wells (Houston 1836)

DEFENDERS (5):
Bobby Boswell (D.C. United)
Jimmy Conrad (Kansas City Wizards)
Frankie Hejduk (Columbus Crew)
Heath Pearce (FC Nordsjælland)
Eddie Pope (Real Salt Lake)

MIDFIELDERS (6):
Brian Carroll (D.C. United)
Chris Klein (Real Salt Lake)
Kyle Martino (Columbus Crew)
Ben Olsen (D.C. United)
Santino Quaranta (D.C. United)
Kerry Zavagnin (Kansas City Wizards)

FORWARDS (4):
Brian Ching (Houston 1836)
Eddie Johnson (Kansas City Wizards)
Chris Rolfe (Chicago Fire)
Josh Wolff (Kansas City Wizards)

Maybe not the strongest US team ever assembled but hopefully enough to roll over the Guatemalans, and a good chance for some of the less established MNT players to impress The Bruce.

the two areas hurt the most are keeper and midfield. The defense has not been great yet but did not lose a lot. and the forwards you only lose twellman and if Johnson can step it up I think they will be fine there.

Midfield really kills as Zavagnin is the olny possible starter left and from there i am not sure any of the others even make the team.
