CHICAGO, Ill. - U.S. Men's National Team manager Bruce Arena announced an 18-man squad that includes former Santa Clara goalkeeper Joe Cannon for the match against fellow 2002 World Cup finalists Paraguay on Sunday, July 6 at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. Kickoff for the match is set for 11:55 a.m. PT, and the match will be broadcast live on ESPN2. The game will also be broadcast on Telemundo and the Radio Unica network, and fans can follow the match live online via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker, presented by Philips Electronics.

Cannon is one of two goalkeepers named to the squad, along with U.S. National Team regular Kasey Keller. One of the English Premier League's top keepers, Keller is coming off elbow surgery in late May. Cannon was named to the squad that defeated Wales (in San Jose) and New Zealand before falling short in the recent FIFA Confederations Cup in France.

The U.S. roster boasts ten veterans of the 2002 World Cup quarterfinalist team. San Jose Earthquakes forward Landon Donovan leads the U.S. attack in 2003, his two goals and three assists placing him at the head of U.S scorers this year. Also the leader in minutes played, Donovan is accompanied by striker Clint Mathis. The MetroStars forward exploded on a five-match scoring run in MLS action before departing for the Confederations Cup. Preston North End midfielder Eddie Lewis, the Chevrolet Man of the Match in the 2-0 win against Wales on May 26, has four goals and nine assists in 48 appearances for the senior team. D.C. United midfielder Earnie Stewart is a veteran of three World Cups and the USA's all-time leader in World Cup appearances (11).

The U.S. and Paraguay have meet three times in their history, with the U.S. holding an unbeaten 1-0-2 record, including a 3-0 victory in the inaugural World Cup on July 17, 1930 in Uruguay. The teams last met in San Diego on March 14, 1998, resulting in a 2-2 draw. Paraguay sends eight players from the side that advanced to the second round of the World Cup last summer, the South American side falling to eventual second place finishers Germany in the Round of 16 last summer.

Tickets are available at all area Ticketmaster outlets in Ohio and surrounding states and the Crew Stadium Box office (stadium ticket office open Monday-Friday, 9 am to 5 pm).

The USA has compiled a 5-3-2 record in 2003, including shutout victories against Canada, Venezuela and Wales. The USA will defend its regional championship in the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup to be held from July 12-23 in Boston, Miami and Mexico City. The U.S. opens group play against El Salvador on July 12 at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., with their second match against Martinique in Foxboro just two days later. The 25-man roster for the Gold Cup will be announced Monday, June 30 on ussoccer.com.
