Arena Announces US Squad for WC 2006

After months of appraising players, Bruce Arena (US National Team Coach) has announced the 23-man roster that will be going to the World Cup in Germany. For the most part there were few surprises, but I was definitely surprised to see Brian Ching picked over Taylor Twellman (and so were some of the soccer pundits as well). However, I was happy to see that both Clint Dempsey and John O'Brien made the cut. Both of the players have some intangibles (Clint Dempsey: skill and no fear at dribbling at defenders; John O'Brian: very good penetration passes) that is usually in short supply.
