Bradley to pick 24-man roster for Brazil next week

U.S. coach Bob Bradley will announce his 24-man roster for the U.S.-Brazil friendly (on August 10) next week.

The game takes place at the New Meadowlands in East Rutherford, N.J. and there's a good chance either Shimer or I or both of us will be there since we just sent in our media credential forms. We'll keep you posted about that as the match gets closer.

Bradley's contract runs through the end of the year, and the U.S. Soccer Federation has not said whether it will offer a new deal to Bradley, who coached the Americans to a second-round finish in this year's World Cup.

Team spokesman Michael Kammarman said a Monday or Tuesday roster announcement was likely.

Bradley is expected to pick mostly veterans for the match.
