EAST HARTFORD | So this is my first date-line for a U.S. game, and in case you didn't know what a date-line is, it means I am here live at the game to bring you updates all night.Tonight will be a monumental performance for the Red, White, and Blue - it has been announced that tomorrow Bob Bradley will announced tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. his 23-man World Cup roster. That means this will likely be the last opportunity for many fringe players on the initial 30-man preliminary roster to make an impact with game experience.
I would imagine there are probably 18-20 real solid locks on this roster already, guys like Donovan and Howard and Dempsey and Altidore and Onyewu - but for guys like Sacha Kljestan, Robbie Rogers, Jose Torres, Eddie Johnson, Edson Buddle (pictured above), Alejandro Bedoya, Herculez Gomez, and a few others this is it. They've had their shot through the brief U.S. camp, they've shown what they can do on the pitch for their domestic teams, it's now or never.
Anyway we will bring you live updates all night, quotes from the early press conferences, perhaps a feature interview with some of the foremost U.S. analysts if we can swing, and obviously a live blog at the game with our own insights all night.
