Chicago, IL (My Sportsbook) - United States men's national team coach Bob Bradley named a roster of 24 players Sunday that will train in advance of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Costa Rica and Honduras in June.

The U.S. will be seeking its first-ever victory away to Costa Rica when they meet at Estadio Saprissa on June 3 at 10 p.m. (ET) in the fourth match of the 10-game final round of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Three days later, the city of Chicago will host its first World Cup qualifier when the U.S. welcomes Honduras to Soldier Field.

The U.S. is in first place in the final round hexagonal with an undefeated 2-0-1 record. Costa Rica sits one point behind, while Honduras holds the third position. The top three teams will automatically qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

"Clearly these next matches are very important in our efforts to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup," said Bradley, who is 9-1-1 overall in qualifying. "Both teams have been very good throughout the qualifying process. We are certainly aware of the challenges of playing in Costa Rica, and Honduras has produced some great results, including two wins against Mexico.

"We are excited for the start of a very competitive summer for our team."

In addition to the 24-man roster, two players have been invited to participate in their first camp with the full team: Aston Villa defender Erich Lichaj and Kaiserslautern goalkeeper Luis Robles.

Following the two qualifiers, the U.S. will depart for South Africa to begin preparations for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. The United States was drawn into a powerful Group B along with reigning world champions Italy, five-time World Cup winners Brazil, and reigning African Cup of Nations winners Egypt for the tournament, which will be played from June 14-28.
