Football and with a day left to the start of FIFA 2010 - coach Bob Bradley believes both U.S. stars Jozy Altidore and Oguchi Onyewu will be fit to play a full game if required.
The United States will face England in their Group C opener on Saturday at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg.
And over in the England camp – injured England captain Rio Ferdinand has shrugged off concerns about Wayne Rooney's discipline.
Rooney was booked for abusing referee Jeff Selogilwe in their 3-nil World Cup warm-up win over the Platinum Stars.
The official claimed he was insulted by Rooney - whom he said apologised afterwards - and told the Manchester United striker he will risk getting a red card if he behaves in a similar way when the World Cup gets under way.

Finally in Formula One – Jenson Button admits he is surprised by Ferrari's struggles so far this season.
The Scuderia were touted as the team to beat before the 2010 season got under way, but seven races into the season and they appear to be lagging well behind Red Bull and McLaren.
And staying in the Ferrari camp – the Prancing Horse has signed Felipe Massa to drive for another two years, ending weeks of speculation about him being replaced at the end of this season.
