Soccer Betting Lines

07/02/2009 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jozy Altidore was among seven players added to the United States' Gold Cup roster, a change allowed by CONCACAF for any team also playing in the FIFA Confederations Cup.

Forward Conor Casey, midfielders Ricardo Clark, Benny Feilhaber and Sacha Kljestan, defender Jonathan Bornstein and goalkeeper Brad Guzan - all members of the Confederations Cup team - will also be eligible for selection during the Gold Cup.

The U.S. will not have all seven players present for each Gold Cup match, with only 18 players on the 30-man roster eligible for each match.

"Due to our involvement in the Confederations Cup, CONCACAF decided to expand our eligible pool of players for the Gold Cup," U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. "At times during the tournament, we may integrate these seven players with our core roster that was announced last week."

The U.S. plays Grenada on July 4 at 9 p.m. (ET), Honduras on July 8 at 9 p.m., and Haiti on July 11 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., at 7 p.m.

The original 23-man roster already carried over four players from the FIFA Confederations Cup squad in Freddy Adu, Charlie Davies, Heath Pearce and Luis Robles. The Gold Cup roster also includes the return of regular starters Steve Cherundolo and Brian Ching from injury.

The U.S. is seeking to become the second team to win three consecutive Gold Cups, having claimed the crown in 2005 and 2007. Mexico won three consecutive titles from 1993 to 1998.

The Americans finished second at the Confederations Cup, upsetting No. 1 Spain in the semifinals before losing 3-2 to Brazil in the final.

Following is the complete U.S. roster (with club team in parentheses):

Goalkeepers: Jon Busch (Chicago Fire), Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Troy Perkins (IK Start), Luis Robles (FC Kaiserslautern).

Defenders: Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Jimmy Conrad (Kansas City Wizards), Clarence Goodson (IK Start), Jay Heaps (New England Revolution), Chad Marshall (Columbus Crew), Michael Parkhurst (FC Nordsjaellands), Heath Pearce (Hansa Rostock).

Midfielders: Davy Arnaud (Kansas City Wizards), Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Colin Clark (Colorado Rapids), Ricardo Clark (Houston Dynamo), Sam Cronin (Toronto FC), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders), Benny Feilhaber (Aarhus), Stuart Holden (Houston Dynamo), Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA), Logan Pause (Chicago Fire), Robbie Rogers (Columbus Crew).
