As everyone knows, the greatest thing in the world is this summer and we have taken our first big step towards it today. The USA announced a 30 man preliminary roster for the upcoming World Cup. The roster will be cut down to 23 by June 1. Just because a player didn't make the preliminary roster doesn't mean he can't make the final, but it is very unlikely (keep your fingers crossed for Charlie Davies). Here's the roster:
Goalkeepers:
Tim Howard, Brad Guzan, Marcus Hahnemann
Defenders: Carlos Bocanegra, Jonathon Bornstein, Steve Cherundolo, Jay DeMerit, Clarence Goodson, Chad Marshall, Oguchi Onyewu, Heath Pearce, Jonathan Spector
Midfield: DaMarcus Beasley, Alejandro Bedoya, Michael Bradley, Ricardo Clark, Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan, Maurice Edu, Benny Feilhaber, Stuart Holden, Sasha Kljestan, Robbie Rogers, Jose Francisco Torres
Forward: Jozy Altidore, Edson Buddle, Brian Ching, Robbie Findlay, Herzulez Gomez, Eddie Johnson
No big surprises with the picks here, other than seeing a Johnson or Findlay over Connor Casey. I've never been a big Casey fan anyway so I'm ok with seeing him miss out. Dempsey will most likely be played as a forward (along with Jozy <3). I'm expecting a good performance from the US this summer and I really can't wait. Come on US!
