According to Univision, the US national team centerback who currently is with San Luis FC in the Mexican Primera División is headed north to the Union. Reason for the move? He wants to make Bob Bradley’s World Cup Squad

Here is a translated excerpt:

SAN LUIS POTOSI – U.S. defender Michael Orozco is no longer part of the current staff of San Luis, and he will continue his career in the Philadelphia, the MLS

His goal is to play in the World Cup with the USA

Through an official press release, the club reported that central defender asked Joseph Romano Fernandez, team president and coach/technical director Ignacio Ambriz, to be being given the opportunity to leave.

All this with the goal of being closer to the eyes of Bob Bradley, coach of the U.S., and have more opportunities to be taken into account to compete for a spot at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

In this situation, San Luis had no problem and supports his professional development.

Philly shouldn't even have this option - DC traded spots with them to be able to get Perkins. PeeYou should be seventh in the allocation order, with New York having the right of first refusal - unless New York and the other six teams passed on Orozco.
