Bill Hamid called up to the United States men's national team for their November friendlies

Mike Lawrie

Continuing his recent streak, Bill Hamid has been called up to the USMNT for their last matches of 2014.

In news that will surprise no D.C. United fans, Bill Hamid has been called up by Juergen Klinsmann for their last friendlies of 2014. On Friday, November 14, the USMNT will take on Colombia in at Craven Cottage, the home of Fulham FC in London. On November 18, the team will travel to Ireland for the first time since 2002 to take on the Republic of Ireland in Dublin. While I am fine with Brad Guzan, the current number one keeper, getting some time, I would love to see Hamid get some minutes too this time around.

Hamid has become a staple of these post-World Cup teams, along with Brad Guzan and Nick Rimando. Rounding out the goalkeeper lineup for this camp, however, is Sean Johnson of the Chicago Fire. This is Johnson's first call up in a couple of matches, and brings back the competition between the two young US keepers for the third spot behind Guzan and Rimando. And, in all likelihood, these two are actually competing for the second spot behind Guzan for the 2018 World Cup, with Rimando unlikely to make that trip and with Tim Howard still a giant question mark. And, as much as we may not like, this may also be a chance for teams abroad to get a closer look at Hamid to see if there might be a move this winter.

The full roster is below, with notable players like Jordan Morris and Miguel Ibarra joining the team as well.
