Only a couple of surprises as Bradley picks his men to host El Salvador and Trinidad and Tobago on September 5 and 9. Kyle Beckerman is only half a surprise as he performed very well in the Gold Cup and is worth a look, and with the El Salvador match at his home park (Rio Tinto in Salt Lake), its a nice gesture. The really interesting pick is Robbie Findley. He's another Real Salt Lake player, but he is eligible for Trinidad and Tobago as his previous cap was in a friendly. He has been called in to a U-23 camp for T&T. Will he get capped in Trinidad? And here's the full roster: U.S. ROSTER BY POSITION GOALKEEPERS (2): Brad Guzan (Aston Villa: 5/3 SO), Tim Howard (Everton FC: 12/7 SO) DEFENDERS (8): Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes: 22/3), Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA, 2/0), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover: 19/0), Jay DeMerit (Watford: 3/0), Clarence Goodson (IK Start: 1/0), Chad Marshall (Columbus Crew: 2/0), Oguchi Onyewu (AC Milan: 17/1), Jonathan Spector (West Ham: 2/0) MIDFIELDERS (8): Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake: 0/0), Michael Bradley (Borussia Mönchengladbach: 11/4), Ricardo Clark (Houston Dynamo: 6/0), Clint Dempsey (Fulham: 18/4), Benny Feilhaber (AGF Aarhus: 2/0), Stuart Holden (Houston Dynamo: 1/0), Robbie Rogers (Columbus Crew: 0/0), José Francisco Torres (Pachuca: 5/0) FORWARDS (6): Jozy Altidore (Hull City: 9/5), Conor Casey (Colorado Rapids: 5/0), Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo: 16/6), Charlie Davies (FC Sochaux: 3/2), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy: 31/11), Robbie Findley (Real Salt Lake: 0/0) *numbers indicate all-time World Cup Qualifying caps/goals I am a bit disappointed to see Edgardo Castillo not included, but I'm sure his time will come. I'm guessing we'll see Howard in goal, Cherundolo, Onyewu, DeMerit, Bocanegra from right to left in defense, Bradley and Clark centrally, Dempsey and Donovan on the wings, and Altidore and Davies up front. Nothing too surprising. Maybe Holden over Dempsey in the second match if he struggles in the first. He's been playing well with Fulham, but hasn't been firing on all cylinders for the US. A win against El Salvador could lead to some different players getting a chance in Trinidad as qualifying will be that much closer to clinched.
