Fire trio lead U.S. in second leg

Chicago's high-scoring offensive weapons Chris Rolfe (L) and Chris Barrett will help lead the U.S.

goalkeeper Brad Guzan and midfielder Sacha Kljestan.


Rounding out the MLS contingent is goalkeeper Chris Seitz of Real Salt Lake and defender Drew Moor of FC Dallas. Seitz, along with Kljestan and Barrett, is looking to secure his place on the U.S. team for Beijing Olympics.


The Fire are uniquely represented throughout the rest of the U.S. roster for Sunday's game. Former Fire players DaMarcus Beasley and Carlos Bocanegra are on the team, as is goalkeeper Dominic Cervi, whom the Fire drafted this year but were unable to sign to a contract. Also on the team is Michael Bradley, son of coach Bob Bradley, the former Fire coach.
