See the US play again

The US men are scheduled to play another qualifying match tonight at 8:00 p.m. in Trinidad.  You can catch the game on ESPN.  

Who will Adrian be rooting for?

We have two games left in this second round of qualifying.  They are essentially exhibition matches because we're undefeated in our group and guaranteed a spot in the third and final round of qualifying in 2009.  But Trinidad is trying to survive; let's not forget they were the surprise qualifier for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

It will be an interesting game, in my opinion.  These are critical games for the B team, to try to work their way into the rotation and eventually onto that final roster in South Africa.  Most of the starters are headed back to their home clubs.  It's time for Guzan, Adu, Edu, Torres, and company to shine.  To the right, you can see Freddy subbing for Sascha Kljestan at this past weekend's game versus Cuba - a 6-1 rout.

Here's the roster for the T&T game, according to US Soccer:

UPDATED U.S. ROSTER VS. TRINIDAD & TOBAGO GOALKEEPERS (2): Brad Guzan (Aston Villa: 2/2 SO), Troy Perkins (Valerenga IF: 0/0)
