 NEW YORK (AP) - Tim Howard has replaced Kasey Keller as the top U.S. goalkeeper heading into the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
The 37-year-old Keller has 97 international appearances and started for the United States at the 1998 and 2006 World Cups. Howard, 28, was a backup at last year's tournament in Germany and played 18 games for the national team.
"We enter this tournament with the thought that Tim Howard is our No. 1 goalkeeper," new U.S. coach Bob Bradley said Thursday. "It's a discussion that we've had with Tim and with Kasey. I do foresee the idea that in the first round Kasey will also play one of those games, and then following those games decisions get made upon form and what we feel is the best decision on the day for our team."
