When the Gold Cup preliminary roster came out earlier this month, Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei was not on it. It’s important to note that Frei is not yet a citizen of the United States. On Tuesday, that could change. “I’m doing my test tomorrow. So, if everything goes well I’ll be sworn in tomorrow,” Frei told media after Monday’s practice session.
Frei keeps in regular contact with USMNT keeper coach Matt Reis, and since Frei and Bruce Arena have the same agent, communication with the national team coach is a breeze.
