Bradley fills the USA pool

It's an exclusive pool party. Only 33 people are invited. But it's a total sausage-fest.

Bradley announced the 33 players that will be invited to train in preparation for the friendlies against Argentina and England in the run up to the 2010 World Cup qualification campaign.

A couple names stand out -- Olympic team defender Michael Orozco (who was red carded two minutes into his debut with Mexican club San Luis and MLS journeyman Nate Jaqua who was most recently playing in Austria. Orozco is a talented young defender, but I'm not sure why a spot was wasted on MLS benchwarmer Jaqua.

Eddie Gaven continues to pee in the pool. I'm not sure what Bradley sees in this guy. On the other hand, Robbie Rogers' recent stellar play made him a shoe in for this camp. No real surprises by the rest of the selections.
