Departing Rangers winger DaMarcus Beasley is playing his way into USA coach Bob Bradley's final World Cup plans.

Beasley started well back in the field when the squad assembled, but his form against the Czech Republic has the midfielder again front and centre.

"I've always been committed to the national team, but I had a rough time when my form went down and my confidence went down as well," he told philly.com. "I've always tried to play my best for my country. It didn't happen that way [at first] and I got down on myself. All I asked for was a chance, and now that I'm getting back into playing and training regularly, I feel like I'm back to being myself."
