Mustering the American Side

Bob Bradley has announced the members of the US team for the August 12 showdown in Mexico City. Not a lot of surprises; I suppose the two semi-big absences are Freddy Adu, who didn't play a whole lot in South Africa, and DeMarcus Beasley, who I believe remained parked on the bench the entire tournament after his big corner screwup. 

Also, the Mexican media is having a good chuckle at the fact that Obama declined to bet on the Americans winning the August 12 matchup.
