USA national team coach Bob Bradley has called up 30 players to kick off the training camp on January 4.
The camp will be held at California's Home Depot Center and will kickstart preparations for the 2010 World Cup, giving Bradley the chance to take a look at all of his players at once.
"This is the start of six months of preparations for the World Cup, and it is important that we get started off heading in the right direction," said Bradley, who led the U.S. to first place in CONCACAF qualifying. "We have had the chance to work with many of these players through their time with the national team, while others performed well for their clubs throughout last season and have earned this opportunity. We are continuing to evaluate the player pool as we move towards finalizing our roster for this summer."
