US coach Bob Bradley is very aware that bringing players through for the national team is imperative. Speaking after his team's 2-0 win against Guatemala, Bradley said "I think that it is important that we continue to reach out, take notice of players that are playing well for their teams or have had good seasons. When guys come in to camp, it's an opportunity to see them up close.

"It's not just what we see in the game, but it's what we see every day and players get a better taste as to what we expect. This has been a really good week for us. The facilities here are spectacular, and the Rapids really treated us well."

USA now head to the hexagonal stage of World Cup qualifying which starts in April 2009.
