US Men’s Soccer Faces Ukraine in Friendly in Cyprus

The US will face Ukraine in a friendly on Wednesday in a matchup that was rumored to be off earlier in the week but does appear will happen. This is the final opportunity for many US players to make their case for inclusion in the World Cup squad so it will be interesting to see who steps up and shows their worth.

Here’s the US team:

  • Goalkeepers
    • Cody Cropper – Southampton
    • Brad Guzan – Aston Villa
    • Tim Howard – Everton
  • Defenders
    • John Brooks – Hertha Berlin
    • Geoff Cameron – Stoke City
    • Edgar Castillo – Club Tijuana
    • Alfredo Morales – Ingolstadt
    • Oguchi Onyewu – Sheffield Wednesday
    • Will Packwood – Birmingham City
    • Jonathan Spector – Birmingham City
  • Midfielders
    • Alejandro Bedoya – Nantes
    • Fabian Johnson – Hoffenheim
    • Jermaine Jones – Besiktas
    • Sacha Kljestan – Anderlecht
    • Brek Shea – Barnsley
    • Danny Williams – Reading
  • Forwards
    • Juan Agudelo – Utrecht
    • Jozy Altidore – Sunderland
    • Terrence Boyd – Rapid Vienna
    • Clint Dempsey – Seattle Sounders FC
    • Aron Johannsson – AZ Alkmaar

The ones who I’ll be watching to see if they show anything big are Juan Agudelo, Terrence Boyd, Danny Williams, Brek Shea, and Onguchi Onyewu.

The US will be wearing their new home uniforms… yes the ones that basically look like a golf shirt. It’s the first meeting between the US and Ukraine since 1993… US Soccer is in quite a different place than it was 21 years ago.

The game is at 2 PM ET with TV coverage on ESPN2 beginning at 1:30 PM ET. I’ll have a recap of the game on WeSupportTheUS.com tonight.
