Not much to get excited about if you’re the US team after last night. Not only did they lose 4-2 to the Czech Republic, they now face 7 cuts to get the roster down to the Fifa limit of 23. The defense looked shaky all around struggling to clear the ball on several occasions. Not to mention, Onyewu, who played in his first game since tearing his left patellar tendon, didn’t look so hot being out-jumped by a guy 3 inches smaller than him on one of the Czech goals.

The United States will have a good feel for their roster after Bradley has individual meetings today. From there, they will go to ESPN in Bristol, CT to introduce the squad and then to the White House to meet President Obama. They will play a final tune-up before leaving for South Africa in Philadelphia vs. Turkey this Saturday.

Granted the United States played without the likes of stars Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, and Jozy Altidore, but as I mentioned before giving up 4 goals to a “ehh” Czech Republic team is somewhat alarming. In a game where bubble players needed to shine very few did. A few guys, however, did look pretty sharp including Maurice Edu and Edson Buddle.

We’ll get the final announcement today at 1:20 pm on ESPN.
