Jaqua and pause with the U-23s [R]

That Portland boy scores the only goal on a give-and-go with Escandarian. Pause plays d-mid. US wins on PKs over Russia:

Nate scores the only goal of the game against Portugal, and Gray misses a PK in the shootout.

Looks like we got ourselves a good pick!

"Striker: Nate Jaqua - Man of the match for the USA. Did well in the air and posed a strong threat to score"

Nice!

So after playing striker in some of the earlier matches over in Portugal, Kelly Gray played center back in both matches in this tournament.

Says he played pretty well too.

C'mon - you think this guy is good, just because he had a few good games in Europe? Do they know how to play Soccer in Portugal or Russia?

...let see how he does against Canada, or St. Kitts and Nevis or some of the other North American powers...
