Thanks Brad

American goalkeeper Brad Friedel has announced his retirement from international play. Friedel, who will continue playing for his club team Blackburn Rovers, got his first international cap (appearance) in 1992. Friedel and Kasey Keller have been the main keepers for the US national team since 1995 and have been one of the best keeper duos in the world. Friedel was the starting netminder for the US in the 2002 World Cup finals and led the Americans to the quarterfinal round, their best finish since 1930. He became only the second person ever to stop two penalty kicks (during regular play) in the same finals.
