RENTON, Wash. - Seattle Sounders FC midfielders Clint Dempsey and Brad Evans and defender DeAndre Yedlin have been called into the U.S. Men's National Team to train in Phoenix prior to the USA-Mexico match on April 2 at University of Phoenix Stadium.

The captain of the national team, Dempsey has 102 caps (T-10th) and ranks second all-time with 36 goals. He played 90 minutes in a 2-0 loss at Ukraine on March 5, and scored a career-high six goals with two assists in 10 appearances in 2013.
