Aalborg defender Danny Califf is pleased with the prospect of earning a few more international caps after Friday's call-up to the Copa America squad, and says the US squad should be heavy on inspiration.

"I'm looking forward to the tournament," Califf told American Soccer Daily. "We're playing some very good teams in a big international competition. What's not to love?"

The Aalborg BK defender is not making any predictions for the tournament, as he realizes that the squad is not at level with the newly crowned Gold Cup champions.

"I'm hoping to play," he says. "It's a young squad so we won't have experience, but we should have passion and effort."

Bob Bradley and his chosen 22 are en route to Maracaibo, Venezuela where they play their opening match against Argentina on Thursday.
