WASHINGTON D.C. -- Today U.S.A. coach Bob Bradley has named his squad for the friendly against Brazil on Tuesday. Uncapped Los Angeles defender Sean Franklin has been included in the U.S.A. party and could be set to win his first cap. Bradley has certainly decided to opt for talent from abroad, with the majority of his players playing their club football overseas. Although a friendly match, a source at the FA commented on the inclusion of Juan Agudelo in the squad, saying the player was not good enough to hold down a regular spot or add depth to the squad. Bradley has also used the game as an opportunity to recall a number of familiar players, including Marcus Hahnemann, Benny Feilhaber, Alejandro Bedoya and Brad Davis.

-----
Injuries: Maurice Edu, Jose Francisco Torres, Tim Howard, Michael Bradley, Steven Cherundolo.

USA Squad:

Goalkeepers - Brad Guzan, Troy Perkins, Marcus Hahnemann

Defenders - Chad Marshall, Jonathan Spector, Sean Franklin, Carlos Bocanegra, Oguchi Onyewu, Jay DeMerit, Omar Gonzalez, Jonathan Bornstein

Brazil coast past U.S.A.

NEW YORK, NY -- The underdogs of the United States never threatened to cause an upset as they succumbed to a 3-0 defeat at the New Meadowlands Stadium.

Wonderkid Pato gave Brazil the lead with a deftly executed finish from close range which found its target via the post in the 24th minute. U.S.A. captain Carlos Bocanegra compounded the misery for the U.S.A. in the 49th minute with an embarrassing own-goal. An error from Landon Donovan allowed midfielder Renato Augusto to score a fluke goal.
