Yanks on Foreign NTs [R]

Not a big hurry right now and you know how tempting a short path to the NT can be. Gotta keep those options open...

 

Beitashour starts the away game today. http://espnfc.com/us/en/gamecast/statistics/id/364938/statistics.html?soccernet=true&cc=5901

 

Soony Saad started for Lebanon today against Kuwait: http://espnfc.com/us/en/gamecast/statistics/id/364937/statistics.html?soccernet=true&cc=5901

 

On a different front:

401385457797578752 is not a valid tweet id

 

Ended up putting in 74 minutes in his cap-tying debut.

 

I don't see him switching unless he bombs out of our youth teams.

 

The 0-0 at Kuwait seems like a good result for them.

Next game for Lebanon is next Tuesday vs Iran. Soony - Beita(max), a match-up oddly reminiscent of 80s videotapes.

 

Also of the San Jose-Kansas City game on August 18th.

Trickle down soccer

 

Seaton played the 2nd half in Jamaica's friendly against T&T.

 

Bright Dike started in today's friendly for Nigeria vs. Italy. Rossi started as well (and scored in the 12th minute).

 

Correct.

 

And Dike scores in the 35th for his first international goal. BOTH goals so far today brought to you by the USA.

 

LA Galaxy defender A.J. DeLaGarza made his debut for the Guam national team in a 1-1 draw at Laos.

 

Guam's full squad list is below. In addition to DeLaGarza, I believe that Ustruck, Herrick, and Guy have all been on MLS rosters.

Jason Cunliffe, Ian Mariano, Dylan Naputi, Mark Chargualaf, Scott Leon Guerrero, Doug Herrick, Erik Ustruck, Jonahan Romero, Micah Paulino, Shawn Nicklaw, John Matkin, Travis Nicklaw, Joshua Borja, Bijan Gloston, Ian Adamos, A.J. DeLaGarza and Ryan Guy.

Does a Dike-Rossi 50-50 ball challenge count as Yank on Yank violence?

 

Game is tomorrow at 10:30 AM Eastern. (Bob Bradley has his last game in charge of Egypt at 11)

 

but not really.

 

Beitashour went the full 90. Soony stayed on the bench.

 

Michael Seaton started in Jamaica's 2nd friendly against T&T.

 

I saw some post on Twitter saying the US has the most potential players playing for other teams in the WC (8). I can't find it now, but it listed Costa Rica as one of the potential teams - which Yank plays for Costa Rica?

I think the other 7 were Honduras, Nigeria, Italy, Iran, Mexico, Bosnia, and someone else (USA?)

 

I saw that tweet. He was referring to people raised in the US, so I assume he is talking about Rodney Wallace.
