USA : PLAYERS TO WATCH

Kasey Keller is one of the best in the world in goal. Midfielder-forward Landon Donovan has a history of rising to the occasion in important matches. DaMarcus Beasley might look fragile, but he is one tough hombre. A healthy Claudio Reyna is needed to be the midfield traffic cop. Forward Brian McBride, who has scored goals in two consecutive Cups, will try to make it three in a row.
