Wingert and the U.S National Team

So some quick news here about RSL.
RSL defender Chris Wingert has been selected to practice with the U.S. Mens National team in preparations for their World Cup Qualifying round. The U.S. Mens team is going to be playing Sweeden on January 24th to get ready for their opening game of the qualifying round against Mexico on February 11th.
Wingert has been an excellent player for RSL, and played in 29 games this season. He has been siolid on the back line, and his leadership has been present as Real become known as a team of defense (something that has been undeard of here in Salt Lake City). This is a great chance for him to show Bob Bradley (the U.S. coach) what he can do on the field. Hopefully, we will be able to see him in action.
You can tune into the game on the 24th, which will be televised on Fox Soccer Channel, at 6:30 pm Mountain Time.
