CONCACAF will allow U.S. to select Seven more players for Gold Cup
From Steve Clare of Prost Amerika:
CONCACAF have just made an announcement that will impact several MLS sides, perhaps including Sounders FC. Any team playing in both the Confederations Cup and Gold Cup in the same year will be allowed to increase its roster from 23 to 30 players, CONCACAF announced Tuesday. The decision will enable the United States to add seven players to its already announced squad for the tournament that starts Friday.

The move could affect Seattle, who is only missing two players to international duties.
