USA U17 residency roster finalized

The USA U17 roster for the Soccer Residency Program in Bradenton, Florida has been named by coach Wilmer Cabrera.

Cabrera has put together a squad of 40 which he will choose his final list from for the 2011 CONCACAF U17 Championship which precedes the World Cup in the summer.

"We completed our roster with players who give us the best chance to compete for both qualifying in Jamaica and then hopefully the World Cup this summer," said Cabrera. "The players understand that this is their final semester and final chance to show us that they deserve to be on those important rosters."
