24 Man Roster Called In



The USMNT has a match against the Ukraine on March 5, so head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has called in the roster of players who will be eligible to play: 

U.S. ROSTER BY POSITION – DETAILED ROSTER
GOALKEEPERS (3): Cody Cropper (Southampton), Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton)
DEFENDERS (7): John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Alfredo Morales (Ingolstadt), Oguchi Onyewu (Sheffield Wednesday), Will Packwood (Birmingham City), Tim Ream (Bolton Wanderers)
MIDFIELDERS (8): Alejandro Bedoya (Nantes), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Jermaine Jones (Besiktas), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Brek Shea (Barnsley), Danny Williams (Reading)
FORWARDS (6): Juan Agudelo (Utrecht), Jozy Altidore (Sunderland), Terrence Boyd (Rapid Vienna), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), Julian Green (Bayern Munich), Aron Johannsson (AZ Alkmaar)

A few notes: 

Julian Green has been called in for the two day training camp but cannot play vs Ukraine as he is still tied to Germany. 

With MLS players having gotten a good look under JK in January, and this being the last FIFA fixture date before the World Cup, this match and camp is the last chance for European players to state their case for belonging on the plane to Brazil. That would be why only two MLS players are here (Michael Bradley and Clint Dempsey)
