Look who started and was named captain for the match against France. That is the good news. The bad news is that a 1-0 deficit at the half became a 4-0 loss. Cuevas came off in a triple switch in the 59'. The US had a PK in the 51st that could have tied it, but they missed. Soon after the triple subs happened. Match was streamed on Youtube here. It looks like the other two will also be streamed.
Next match - 1 April 2023 Lierse vs Club NXT 2:00 PM EST No ESPN + Cuevas should be in the match day squad at the least.

Going back to Cali…. Sources: The LA Galaxy have acquired US youth international defender Mauricio Cuevas from Club Brugge.Cuevas, 20, is a product of LAG's academy and made 21 USL Championship apps, but left for Belgium in 2022.

Not a real surprise from the LA Galaxy side of things as they needed to make some moves due to their transfer ban this upcoming summer. They have struggled this season in a very large way. Is Cuevas the answer here? I know that in the second half of the season he established himself as a pretty useful player and consistent starter. The three in a row where he was not in the Squad dealt with a US U20 Call-up. I hope that this moves works out for him, he is moving from a pretty stable club (not necessarily the top) to one that is still one of the major US clubs, but one that is a mess right now. I think that his first European foray has been pretty successful. I would imagine it will not be his last.
Interesting to read the responses to this news on Twitter: Lots of comments for the good, lots for the negative. Everyone has an opinion ...
