// November 15th, 2009 // Updates

Stu Holden flew to Denmark today in advance of Wednesday’s match between the United States and Denmark. The exhibition match will be televised on ESPN Classic at 1:25 p.m. central time (& ESPN2 – joined in progress at 2 p.m.). The match is one of several that the United States will play in the coming months as it prepares for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

Stu’s first experience with the Senior National Team was this past summer when he participated in the Gold Cup. His impressive play earned him a spot on the All-Tournament team as the USA advanced to the finals before losing to Mexico. Stu was added to the roster for all future World Cup qualifiers and found himself in the starting line-up for the final two pivotal matches. Stu was also a member of the 2008 Olympic team for the USA.

Stu will be joined on the trip with Houston Dynamo teammate Ricardo Clark.
