Team USA now moving towards Gold Cup - Bradley

USA's national soccer team will now move towards the CONCACAF Gold Cup in June 2011.

Bob Bradley's men came together for an international double header with Poland and Colombia in the past week and the coach says the next goal is to prepare for the region's top competition after good performances in both matches.

"This is the first time since the World Cup that we had a good amount of time to work together, so we were able to identify some things we want to work on, find a better a tempo with the ball," Bradley said. "Some of our movement, I think some of the stretches against Poland we did that quite well. We saw some of that in the second half tonight (against Colombia).

"It's a chance to lay out a bit of the schedule going forward, because we have an eye towards the Gold Cup next year, and there's only a certain number of occasions that we can get everybody together.

"Most likely the next time that we'll have a lot of these guys in a camp will be March. So there's a lot of catch up work to do, and making sure that now we've got an eye for how we are going to move ourselves forward."
