graham-zusi-US-MNTU.S. Men’s National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has called 24 players into training camp to prepare for its final two matches in the Semifinal Round of qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup against Antigua & Barbuda and Guatemala. Landon Donovan is NOT on the list. Updated – I went to a list from the Jamaica game that is on US Soccer’s front page, Donovan is on the current roster announced today.

The U.S. first faces the Benna Boyz this Friday, October 12 in North Sound, Antigua. Kickoff for the USA’s first visit to the island is set for 6 p.m. CT and the match will be broadcast live on beIN SPORT. Four days later, the U.S. will close out the Semifinal Round at sold-out LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan. That match will be broadcast live at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN2, WatchESPN and the Univision family. Fans can follow the match live on ussoccer.com’s MatchTracker and via Twitter @ussoccer.

The U.S. team begins reporting to Miami today and departs for Antigua three days later. I’ll be on hand in Kansas City, roaming the end line as you’re familiar seeing me do here in Southwest Missouri cause

Dear Ole: The media request for you for Oct 16 US Men vs Guatemala (LIVESTRONG Sporting Park – Kansas City Kansas) has been approved.

With the three nations tied on points and jockeying for the top two spots, no team will be able to secure a place in the Final Round until the last group matches are played on Oct. 16. Who else will be in Kansas City next week?
