After many months of analysis and preparation, U.S. Head Coach Bob Bradley announced his final 23 man roster that will be representing the U.S. at the upcoming FIFA World Cup South Africa tournament. As expected, L.A. Galaxy midfielder Landon Donovan made the cut and leads the small contingent of MLS players making the trip. Galaxy teammate, forward Edson Buddle and Chivas USA defender Jonathan Bornstein are the other two local players that will be joining Donovan. Real Salt Lake forward Robbie Findley rounds out the group of 4 domestic players selected by Bradley following last night's friendly against the Czech Republic. The full roster is available at USSoccer.com.

The Nats have one final warm up match on American soil this Saturday, against Turkey, before departing for South Africa. South Africa will be the 6th consecutive World Cup in which the U.S. participates. They will see their first action on June 12th against England.
