Its unbelievable how much Raja has risen in the estimation of Phoenix fans. There is a poll on the Suns website:

Question: Who could help Team USA most in the World Cup?
At first I thought of voting for Amare but then realised he hasn't proven his fitness yet and more importantly Raja brings something that lacks in the US team (except Bowen) - defence. I decided Raja's tenacity and maturity along with his D were a definite necessity for the team and voted for him. I was surprised to see the results of the poll so far. Go vote and see for yourself.
btw, Raja hasn't received a call for tryouts has he? In any case I guess he'd pass on it, choosing to rest his calf instead.
