During last nights RSL @ Colorado Rapids match the 33 man US Men’s National Team player pool was announced for their upcoming friendlies against England, Spain and Argentina. (Did I just say England, Spain and Argentina? I definitely think we’re heading in the right direction)

Usually the roster gets cut down the week before to 22 players, then on game day 4 of those players will make their way into the stands and the 18 players named to the official game day roster with either be on the field or on the bench to start.

Some old names (Lewis, Wolff) along with some new names (Cooper, Orozco, Rogers) make this roster a pretty damn good one.

And notice one, very important name.   DaMarcus Beasley (Glasgow Rangers).  He’s back.
