Drew on U.S. Roster for Mexico game...

Looks like Drew and Landon changed roles at a recent U.S. MNT practice, with Drew running away from Donovan (or trying to)...photo: a photo gallery on ussoccer.com.
=======================================
U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Bob Bradley has named FC Dallas defender Drew Moor among the 22 players that will travel to Houston to prepare for the upcoming showdown with Mexico at Reliant Stadium on Feb. 6. The match will be part of a two-and-half-hour broadcast window on both ESPN2 and Univision beginning at 8 p.m. CT.

Bradley called in 12 players currently playing in Europe, and Drew is among nine that remain with the team from the recently completed camp in LA. Interestingly, only seven of the 22 players called in were on the field for the U.S. last summer, when the team defeated Mexico 2-1 to win the Gold Cup.

The match on Feb. 6 will mark the 54th meeting between the USA and Mexico. The U.S. has dominated the series of late, collecting an 8-0-1 home record against Mexico since 2000. During that span, the USA has netted 15 goals, while the Mexicans scored only a single goal on American soil in this decade.
