Group match against the USA, including goalscorers Valter Birsa and Zlatan Ljubijankič. There are
also two teammates of Michael Bradley's from Chievo Verona: Bostjan Cesar and Bojan Jokic.

Slovenia announced its squad for its Nov. 15 friendly against the United States, and while
there are some familiar names on the roster, perhaps the most recognizable one is missing.
Captain and Hull City midfielder Robert Koren will not participate in the match, but the two
players who scored for Slovenia against the United States in the 2010 World Cup, Valter Birsa and
Zlatan Ljubijankič, were called in.
Rubin Kazan won the trophy in 2010
The 2011 Commonwealth of Independent States Cup takes place in the Russian city of Saint
Petersburg from January 15th-23rd. Having failed to win the 2010 Russian Premier League, CIS Cup
holders Rubin Kazan are unable to defend the title they won last year.
