San Jose CyberRays News Release
SAN JOSE (May 6, 2003) â San Jose CyberRays LaKeysia Beene, Thori Bryan and Brandi Chastain have been called up by the U.S. Women's National Team to train for its May 17 World Cup tune-up match against England.
The three players are among 24 summoned by U.S. coach April Heinrichs to train four days for the match in Birmingham, Ala., from which the game roster of 18 will be selected. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN at 10 a.m. PDT.
The Women's World Cup, originally scheduled for Sept. 23-Oct. 11 in China, now will be played in another country at about the same time this fall. FIFA, soccer's international governing body, last week pulled the championship from China because of concerns about the SARS epidemic. U.S. Soccer officials are meeting with FIFA today in Switzerland about the possibility of hosting the World Cup.
The three CyberRays will be available for their WUSA match against the Atlanta Beat to be played the same day in Atlanta, Ga. Game time for the WUSA match is 4 p.m. PDT. The two cities are approximately 240 miles apart.
The Atlanta Beat had two players, forward Cindy Parlow and goalkeeper Brianna Scurry, called up for the USA-England match. They will also be available for the CyberRays-Atlanta game later that day.
