The United States returns to its 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign this week with a pair of matches on the road to South Africa. First on Saturday, it's a trip to hostile territory against El Salvador, then next week it's Trinidad and Tobago in Nashville, Tenn.

FanHouse was able to catch up with one of the rising stars on the American soccer scene Sacha Kljestan this week via phone from Miami before the team headed south. Many feel the Chivas USA midfielder is the next U.S. breakout player. We talk to the 23-year-old about these expectations, what it's like to play for Bob Bradley, and his favorite music.

All this and more after the jump.
