In a not all to surprising development, both Kenny Cooper and Carlos Ruiz have been called to their respective national team camps in preparations for the match between the US and Guatemala at Pizza Hut Park on March 28th (8 PM CT).  US coach Bob Bradley named Cooper in the 24 players called for the camp to prepare for the game against Ecuador on March 24 in Tampa, Fla. (1 p.m. CT) as well as the game at PHP. Guatemala National Team head coach Hernan Dario Gomez has named Ruiz to the 18-man roster for Guatemala’s game against the United States.
 
Cooper will join the U.S. team this Sunday, while Ruiz will remain with FC Dallas through the Puerto Rico trip.  FCD defender Chris Gbandi was called to play for Liberia against Cameroon on March 22nd, but will have to miss his chance at a second camp do to his “grade Two” ankle sprain that has him out four to six weeks.
