Men's World Cup Team Choosen

Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore head a 24-man roster that will train for the United States before World Cup qualifiers next month against Costa Rica and Honduras.

The U.S. team announced Sunday will be at nearly full strength for the games.

Right back Steve Cherundolo is sidelined following hip surgery last month and forward Eddie Johnson was bypassed by coach Bob Bradley.

Altidore, who scored three goals in the April 1 qualifying win over Trinidad and Tobago, is on the roster following surgery on both big toes last month.

Seven players are in Major League Soccer, and five are based in England. Two each are in Denmark, France, Germany and Scotland, and one each in Belgium, Mexico, Spain and Sweden.
