Goodson was named to the final 23-man World Cup roster for the United States on Wednesday afternoon, according to Ives Galarcep of FOXSoccer.com.

Goodson, the former Maryland Terrapin, plays professionally in Norway, so he is a bit of an unknown to American soccer fans. Goodson has a very good showing in training by all reports, and was impressive in America's tune-up match with the Czech Republic.
