Former Gamecock to Keep Goal for USA National Team




Former Gamecock, Brad Guzan, will be in goal for the USA's World Cup qualifying match against El Salvador on March 28. After yellow cards in consecutive games, usual starter in goal, Tim Howard, will be forced to sit out the match with El Salvador. The match will take place in El Salvador's capital, El Salvador, and will be televised on ESPN2 at 9 pm. Guzan, who already has a pair of shutouts in World Cup qualifying against Barbados, currently plays for the English Premier League team, Aston Villa. In 2007 he was named the Major League Soccer "Goalkeeper of the Year."

You'd think that with all the guys we get on Team USA, the Cocks would be better at soccer in college. WTF?

It's true. Carolina has has a traditionally "strong" soccer team over the years, but for some reason it has been unable to accumlate the championship banners that are the mark of a true power program. BTW, anyone know what happened to Josh Wolfe? He had a pretty short stay on the national team.
