Ching Does Whatever It Takes


Brian Ching is fighting to make the US roster for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and is willing to do the little things to help make his team successful.

Ching hasn't been a consistent goal-scorer (11 goals in 44 international appearances), but US coach Bob Bradley frequently has espoused the qualities of the 31-year-old forward. Bradley did it again Wednesday night.

"Brian has qualities on the field in terms of putting himself in good positions, holding balls, bringing guys into the game," Bradley said. "He’s a player that works hard for the team. I think often he makes players around him better because of the type of honest, dirty work that he does. I thought that was clearly the case in the second half. Had some chances, the goalkeeper made some great saves, but he got himself a goal, and I thought he had a good presence."
