World Cup: Final Roster

US Coach Bob Bradley will announce his final World Cup roster today at 1 p.m. EST on ESPN. Here's who I predict will be on the team and who will be cut:

GOALKEEPERS: Brad Guzan, Tim Howard, Marcus Hahnemann.

DEFENDERS: Carlos Bocanegra, Jonathan Bornstein, Steve Cherundolo, Jay DeMerit, Clarence Goodson, Chad Marshall, Oguchi Onyewu, Heath Pearce, Jonathan Spector

MIDFIELDERS: DaMarcus Beasley, Alejandro Bedoya, Michael Bradley, Ricardo Clark, Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan, Maurice Edu, Benny Feilhaber, Stuart Holden, Sacha Kljestan, Robbie Rogers, José Torres.

FORWARDS: Jozy Altidore, Edson Buddle, Brian Ching, Robbie Findley, Herculez Gomez, Eddie Johnson.

As for last night's game, the US lost but that wasn't really the point. It was more to get some guys coming back from injuries some time in real game. Onyewu looked rusty and a little timid -- that's not good. Stuart Holden, however, looked great and set up both US goals.

Here's a good take by a Yahoo soccer blogger about the game.
