The U.S. National Team is putting in final preparations for tomorrow night’s match against their Swedish counterparts. The squad has been in camp for the last couple of weeks incorporating some new faces into the fold as they kick off a busy 2009.
Real Salt Lake’s own Chris Wingert is one of those new faces and will be looking to pick up his first cap for the full national team during tomorrow’s contest. Throughout the camp, the team (and especially the backline) have been rocked by injuries and players leaving for club-related reasons, leaving just six defenders listed on the roster for tomorrow’s game (with left-back Jonathan Bornstein also in doubt due to a foot injury suffered yesterday). This could open the door for Chris to get a look and, hopefully, his first cap.
Do you think Chris will get some time? What lineup do you think Bob Bradley will roll out? What do you think will happen in the match?
Tune in to the Fox Soccer Channel tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. MT to catch the match.

I sure hope Chris gets his first cap! I’ll be watching!
i think if bornsteins injury is serious enough than wingert will see some playing time, i can’t really see anyone else feelin in at leftback. if you look at the roster its pretty easy to guess who bradley will start. lets hope bornsteins injury aint to serious though he was just makin his way back into the national team picture.
i hope he gets his first cap, he certainly deserves it!
come on chris go out there and show em what you got!!

Not sure if this is your problem but sometimes if you put an incorrect email address or no e-mail address at all, your comment isn’t accepted. I have never had a problems with my comments being posted. except when I made a dirty joke about the crapids
Congratulations on your first cap Chris!
