San Jose Earthquakes News Release


SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose Earthquakes Forward Chris Wondolowski was among 25 players called to United States Men's National Team duty by head coach Jurgen Klinsmann Monday morning for upcoming friendlies against Colombia and the Republic of Ireland.

The U.S. will face third-ranked Colombia at Fulham's Craven Cottage on Friday, Nov. 14 (11:45 a.m. PT / ESPN, UniMas). More than 20,000 tickets have been sold for the match in London. The Americans will then face Ireland at Aviva Stadium on Tuesday, Nov. 18 (11:45 a.m. PT / ESPN2, Univision).

Wondolowski, 31, has nine goals in 24 caps with the U.S. He earned two caps during the 2014 World Cup, entering as a substitute against Portugal at Arena Amazonia in Manaus on June 22 and against Belgium in the Round of 16 at Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador on July 1. Prior to the World Cup, Wondolowski had nine goals in his last 10 games dating back to his first national team tally against Guatemala on July 6, 2013. Wondo scored both of the Americans' goals in a 2-0 win against South Korea at the StubHub Center on Feb. 1 and the second in a 2-2 draw against Mexico at University of Phoenix Stadium on April 2. In the summer of 2013, Wondolowski took home a share of the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup Golden Boot after tying USA teammate Landon Donovan and Panama's Gabriel Torres with five goals during the month-long tournament.
