CHICAGO (AP) -- Defenders Carlos Llamosa and midfielder Brian
Kamler were added Wednesday to the U.S. roster for the Feb. 6
exhibition game against Germany, giving D.C. United seven players
on the Americans' 20-man roster.
Bruce Arena, the former coach of D.C. United, was hired last
fall as coach of the national team. Since his hiring, the U.S. team
has played scoreless ties against Australia and Bolivia.
Also added to the roster were a pair of midfielders who play in
Germany, Frankie Hejduk of Bayer Leverkusen and Tony Sanneh of
Hertha Berlin.
Defender Gregg Berhalter of Cambuur Leeuwarden in the
Netherlands and midfielder Clint Mathis of the Los Angeles Galaxy --
both on the roster for Sunday's game at Bolivia, were dropped.
Kamler is joining the national team for the first time. Llamosa
missed the Bolivia game, serving a one-game suspension for his
ejection against Australia.
Germany, the defending European champion, pounded the Americans
2-0 last June in the World Cup opener for both teams. Following the
Feb. 6 game at Jacksonville, the Germans play an exhibition game
against Colombia at Miami on Feb. 9.
