Update: the Latest on U.S. Forward Charlie Davies' Vehicle Accident
The injuries sound nasty - but there is a note of optimism.
Read the update here.
The U.S. has not added a player to the roster for tonight's final WCQ in the wake of the accident.
Costa Rica needs a win tonight in Washington to ensure it reaches South Africa; a U.S. win would ensure it finishes top of the group. Game time is 5 p.m. on ESPN2.

Jozy Altidore tweets to tell fans where to send messages of support for Davies here.
Also, expect a salute from fans during the ninth minute of tonight's game.

Tremendous tribute by the fans in DC. Jozy was playing with so much emotion, very touching.
Kudos to RSL fans as well for saluting #9 in their game against NY right after the US game.
