U.S. coach Tony DiCicco has called 24 players in for a six-day training camp in San Diego before the U.S. women’s national team hosts Argentina April 24 at Titan Stadium in Fullerton, Calif. (7:30 PT) and April 26 at Spartan Stadium in San Jose, Calif. (12:30 PT, live on ESPN). The two matches will kick off a 10-game domestic schedule for the U.S. women as they continue preparations for the 1999 Women’s World Cup. The U.S. is coming off a disappointing third-place finish at the Algarve Cup in Portugal. Here is the U.S. training camp roster (only 18 players will be picked to face Argentina):
