USA roster set for Poles

The U.S. national team coach Bob Bradley has announced the roster for the friendly against Poland at Wisla Stadium on Wednesday, March 26 in Krakow. As expected the roster does not contain any of the under-23s who recently qualified for the Beijing Games, in order to give those boys a rest following a successful campaign. The last time the U.S. played Poland was in March 2006 in Germany, and Clint Dempsey gave the U.S. the 1-0 win.

Here it is:
Goalkeepers: Marcus Hahnemann (Reading FC), Tim Howard (Everton FC).
Defenders: Carlos Bocanegra (Fulham FC), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Jay DeMerit (Watford FC), Cory Gibbs (Charlton Athletic), Oguchi Onyewu (Standard Liege), Heath Pearce (Hansa Rostock), Jonathan Spector (West Ham United).
Midfielders: Michael Bradley (SC Heerenveen), Ricardo Clark (Houston Dynamo), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy), Benny Feilhaber (Derby County), Eddie Lewis (Derby County).
Forwards: Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo), Clint Dempsey (Fulham FC), Eddie Johnson (Fulham FC), Josh Wolff (1860 Munich).

This the first of three European matches (England on May 28 and Spain on June 4) that will test Bradley's ability to win away from home against European teams gearing up for this summer's European Championships.
