Friendly player pool

Bradley announces the player pool for the England, Spain, and Argentina friendlies. Surprised there is no Michael Parkhurst listed. Did he get injured?

I did not see anything about an injury to Parkhurst, so maybe the Revs did not want to give him up for upcoming matches against the Crew, DC United and FC Dallas.

That is a pretty large list. We will probably see several lineup changes over those 3 games. I imgaine players from the same pool will be used for the qualifier against Barbados on June 15th.

The one thing that drives me the nuts the most is the fact that only one of these games is going to be in HD. I can just imagine the crap that will be on the other channels at the same time that will be in HD. Why wouldn't one of the majors pick up that home game against Argentina (maybe the NBA playoffs conflict with the timing)? Still, this is Argentina, and over 40,000 tickets have been sold.
SCHEDULE:
May 28 -- England vs. USA (Wembley Stadium) TV: ESPN Classic -- 3 pm ET; Galavision -- 7 pm ET/PT (delay).
June 4 -- Spain vs. USA (Estadio El Sardinero) TV: ESPN2 -- 5:30 pm ET (delay); Galavision -- 7 pm ET/PT (delay).
June 8 -- Argentina vs. USA (Giants Stadium) TV: ESPN Classic, Galavision -- 7:30 pm ET.

 

This is just speculation on my part but I have never thought Bob Bradely is overly enamored of Parkhurst so I am not surprised that he has been left off the list.

 

Cervi is not even playing anywhere, is he?

(Of course, neither is Feilhaber...)
