Philly Soccer Show: Former National Team Defender Onyewu Returns To USA
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- He has had a long career in Europe and now former US National stalwart Oguchi Onyewu is a member of the Philadelphia Union.
The stout defender sits down with KYW's Greg Orlandini on the KYW Philly Soccer Show this week. The DC-native featured in the 2006 and 2010 World Cup for the USA and was a stand out for Standard Liege in the Belgium League First Division for several seasons.
