Washington, D.C. - U.S. Soccer and U.S. U-20 Men's National Team head coach Thomas Rongnen have announced a 16-player roster for the team's upcoming training camp. The group, which will gather from May 30 until June 6 in Canada, includes United midfielder Bryan Arguez as the U.S. players prepare for the upcoming FIFA Under-20 World Cup.
During the camp, the U.S. will face Canada twice and get a first-hand look at Group E venues in Montreal and Ottawa. The U.S. will start the camp in Montreal, where they will train for three days and check out The Olympic Stadium, site of the team's first two Group E matches against South Korea (June 30) and Poland (July 3). The U.S. will then travel to Ottawa to face the World Cup hosts on June 3 at Frank Clair Stadium, site of their third and final Group E match against Brazil (July 6). The final stretch of the camp will take place in Kingston, Ontario, where the U.S. and Canada will face off again on June 6 in Richardson Stadium.
Arguez was selected by the Black-and-Red in the first round (11th overall) of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft. The midfielder has yet to see first team action, but has started both of the club's reserve matches this year. The Miami, Florida native has been a mainstay on the U.S. youth teams over the last two years, making numerous appearances with both the U-17 and U-20 team.
