U.S. Copa Squad To Be MLS-Based?
(Soccer365.com) - After Wednesday’s Copa America draw, U.S. Men’s National Team coach Bob Bradley admitted that it could be difficult to get European-based players released for he summer tournament.
The Venezuela edition of CONMEBOL’s championship kicks off in July, while most UEFA leagues are starting with the preseason.
“Clearly, it will be easier to get releases for European-based players for the Gold Cup,” Bradley told a conference call. “We will work to try to see what’s best for all of these players.”
“We understood when we made the decision to be in Copa America, that it would also be an opportunity to dig deeper into our pool and to see some of our younger players in these kinds of games,” he added.
“We are fully prepared to put together good rosters for both events.”

why go with out a proper squad. The MLS boys do there level best but they'll hardly be match fit at that point.
