Former Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez was among 26 players called up to the U.S. national soccer team Sunday, ahead of two World Cup qualifiers with Guatemala.
The team, which will gather for training in Miami, plays Friday in Guatemala City (7 p.m. PT beINSport, NBC Universo) and March 29 in Columbus, Ohio (4 p.m. ESPN2, UniMas, Univision Deportes). Wins in both games would almost certainly be enough to send the U.S. on to the final round of CONCACAF qualifying, which begins in November.
"The goal is clear," U.S. Coach Juergen Klinsmann said. "The goal is we would like to beat them in Guatemala City and then beat them as well in Columbus in front of our fans.
