Davies slams Sochaux officials over World Cup


The AP reports that Charlie Davies is blaming his French club Sochaux for his failure to make the United States' 30-man preliminary squad for the World Cup.

The striker claims Sochaux president Alexandre Lacombe wrote to the U.S. coaching staff, saying that Davies was not fit enough to play at the World Cup and that the club would not medically clear him.

Davies, who was nearly killed in a car accident last October, told French radio station RMC late Wednesday that he was capable of playing in the tournament in South Africa and felt "very hurt, very sad" and "very angry."

Davies said he spoke to Bob Bradley the day before the U.S. coach released his preliminary list for the World Cup.
