USA head coach Bob Bradley sprang few surprises when he named his 23-man squad for next month's World Cup in South Africa.

The US, who lost 4-2 to the Czech Republic in a friendly on Tuesday night, open their campaign against England on June 12 in Rustenburg before facing Slovenia on June 18 in Johannesburg and Algeria on June 23 in Tshwane/Pretoria.

Bradley cut his training squad from 30 to 23 ahead of the June 1 deadline, he said, in order to begin team-building. The most surprising omission was striker Brian Ching, who won his 45th cap as a second-half substitute against the Czechs in East Hartford.
