Charlie Davies Thrown Own For The U.S. Soccer 2010 World Cup
For the 2010 World Cup, U.S. Soccer has announced it has chosen its preliminary 30-player roster. Hometown newspapers reported news of local players making the U.S. Soccer 2010 World Cup roster, but one person who did not make the cut, Charlie Davies, is capturing U.S. Soccer World Cup headlines nationwide. Many American soccer fans, along with the media, were rooting for Charlie Davies to make the team, but his recovery from last fall’s near fatal car crash has come up short.
The U.S. Soccer World Cup 2010 roster
On June 1, U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Bob Bradley will cut the U.S. Soccer 2010 World Cup roster down to 23 players. While Bradley deemed Charlie Davies not yet ready to play at the World Cup level, others he selected were perceived by some as the cheapest personal loans. One name turning up among Bradley’s dissenters is Real Salt Lake’s Robbie Findley. U.S. Soccer Daily reports that Findley left a game last weekend with an injury and has failed to produce this season. U.S. Soccer Daily is asking for answers, writing, “You mean to tell me that an 80 percent Charlie Davies can’t add the same things that a dinged up Robbie Findley can?”
Charlie Davies’ motley replacements
While Charlie Davies did not make the U.S. Soccer 2010 World Cup preliminary roster, Bradley’s so-called “motley collection” of forwards has been reported by the New York Times. Jozy Altidore, the youngest, is considered the most talented. Veteran center forward Brian Ching made the cut despite a hamstring strain. Instead of Davies, Bradley chose Los Angeles Galaxy Edson Buddle and American striker Herculez Gomez, who plays in Mexico. “He remained part of the conversation right up until yesterday,” Bradley said Tuesday on ESPNews announcing the roster. “We just felt right now, for Charlie, it is in his best interest to continue his rehab and continue to get back to where he was last year.”
Charlie Davies’ near fatal accident
23-year-old Charlie Davies is from New Hampshire and Boston College. The Associated Press reports that Davies was in his first season with French soccer club Sochaux when he was seriously hurt in a crash on the George Washington Parkway in Virginia that killed another passenger. Davies endured a broken and dislocated left elbow, tibia and fibula, a broken right femur, and a broken forehead, eye socket and nose. He also was left with a ruptured bladder, and bleeding on the brain.
2010 World Cup dates
The U.S. Soccer preliminary 2010 World Cup team starts practicing Monday in Princeton, NJ. Dates for the U.S. Soccer World Cup dates will include exhibitions against the Czech Republic on May 25 in East Hartford, CT, and four days later compete against Turkey in Philadelphia. U.S. Soccer opens the 2010 World Cup dates with an exhibition against Australia in South Africa on June 5. Eliminated in the first round of the FIFA World Cup in 2006, the Americans open the tournament against England, one of the 2010 World Cut favorites.
