Currently playing understudy to namesake and former USA international hero Brad Friedel at English Premier League outfit Aston Villa, Guzan has established himself as a safe and ready number two, behind Everton&#39;s Tim Howard, in Bob Bradley&#39;s USA set-up.<BR><BR>He began his professional career in Los Angeles with Chivas USA, and immediately made an impact with his amazing shot-stopping ability, spring-loaded reflexes and cool instincts between the posts. Guzan spent three seasons with the Southern California Major League Soccer outfit and was named the league&#39;s best goalkeeper of 2007. His performances attracted the attention of Villa boss Martin O&#39;Neill, who swooped in for the youngster and eventually secured him a work permit. Although Guzan&#39;s playing time has been limited by the evergreen antics of Friedel, the youngster has acquitted himself well when called upon.<BR><BR>He has earned ten caps for the US national team after putting in good service in the youth set-up and starting all three of the USA&#39;s games at the Olympic Football Tournament in Beijing in the summer of 2008. He has firmly established himself as an able stand-in for undisputed number one Howard and was a part of the USA squad that progressed to the final of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa.","44815DEA11FB577D5BF802155ED45F52BF89EAE80D401A5B":"1","FD159EB5937AD12F4B2E9E75B80D3D16":"USA,Poland","7FB3F46040506B81":"Bradley Guzan","44815DEA11FB577D3ADEC3055D57C9DB":"0","185D9308B7C9E0BBE486C613A62D93FE":"3","5BAE2FF41BC6AD03489546EF11EAFCB7":"1984-9-9","7379EA3CEBE73A3F":"193cm","4FB95329DB27F065AB688F47FF3E7436":"2017-7-10","B6B40535701B4CD0DB864915DEF06E2A":"","5BB437CAF240E475":"94kg","EBC62A89E472008E22ACFCF9251EA2ED":"","EDBF020A791C65EC6DC356F5C22437AB":"1","C3DE130B7D4AB7DB":"Bradley Guzan","e_index":5};
