HICAGO, IL (July 20, 2009) - Chicago Fire goalkeeper Jon Busch has joined the U.S. Men's National team for training this week in advance of the USA's Gold Cup semifinal match against Honduras, this Thursday at Soldier Field in Chicago (6 p.m. CT, Fox Soccer Channel/TeleFutura). Busch will rejoin the Fire in Seattle for the team's league match against the Sounders FC on Saturday, July 25 at Qwest Field (2 p.m. CT) which will be broadcast live on ESPN.
The U.S. Men's National team will train at TOYOTA PARK today, Monday, July 20 at 10 a.m. The last 15 minutes of training will be open to the media. Further information about training times and media availability will be released soon.
Busch is one of three goalkeepers that had been named to the USA's Gold Cup roster on June 25. The Fire's goalkeeper was called into the annual U.S. Men's National Team January camp earlier this year due to his exceptional play during the 2008 season in which he earned MLS Goalkeeper of the Year honors. Busch earned his first "cap" with the U.S. Men's National Team on March 9, 2005, shutting out Colombia 3-0 in a friendly.
The Fire is offering a special 3-game pack featuring the Gold Cup semifinal doubleheader as well as the Fire's September 20 match against the Columbus Crew and October 22 game against Chivas USA. Gold Cup 3-game packs can be purchased by clicking on the TICKETS link on the club's official website, www.chicago-fire.com or by calling 888-MLS-FIRE.
