The U.S. Men's National Team, currently in camp at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, will host Google+ Hangouts on Air with Major League Soccer players from its training camp this week.
Under the "One Nation. One Team." banner, the Digital Week will include eight MLS players on head coach Jurgen Klinsmann's 30-player preliminary roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Select fans from each MLS club will be awarded the opportunity to participate in the Google+ Hangout on Air, connecting them with players through an extensive "jumping" model where the players will join multiple fan hangouts rather than one single location. In addition to fielding questions in the Google+ Hangout, the moderator will also ask questions that have been submitted through social media and with the #ForClubAndCountry hashtag.
Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes) and Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City) will host their hangout on Friday at 4 p.m. CT. Click here to register for the hangout.
