Ching bids for World Cup team
Houston Dynamo forward Brian Ching has resumed full training after
straining his left hamstring in the team's home opener on April 1.
Ching hurt his left calf during his recovery but says there's
a chance he'll return in Wednesday's game against FC Dallas. Ching
and coach Dominic Kinnear say he's more likely to return on
Saturday against Chivas USA.
The 31-year-old Ching, a member of the U.S. national team
since 2003, desperately wants to make the World Cup roster and he
has one week to convince coach Bob Bradley that he's fit. Teams
must submit preliminary 30-man rosters to FIFA next Tuesday, with
23-man rosters due June 1.
Whether he's chosen or not, Ching says he may be done with
international soccer after the World Cup. He says he'll make that
decision later this year.
