Arena Calls 24 Players For Critical World Cup Qualifiers Vs. Honduras And Panama
... The camp next week marks the first gathering of the full group since last November and the losses to Mexico and Costa Rica. The annual January Camp was made up almost exclusively of M. L. S. players since the European leagues and Liga MX were in season and those clubs were not required to release their MNT members. Arena has made two trips outside the United States to meet with players and has been in constant contact. He will work with many of them on the field for the first time when they report this weekend. READ MORE: Arena Discusses March World Cup Qualifying Roster. TRIO RETURNS. The U. S. will be boosted by the return of three veteran players from the injury list. After being sidelined due to an irregular heartbeat, Clint Dempsey rejoins the MNT for the first time since last June’s Copa America Centenario. Tim Howard is also back after recovering from an adductor fracture during November’s 2-1 World Cup Qualifying defeat against Mexico. Having recovered from an MCL strain while playing for Stoke City, Geoff Cameron returns to the USA roster for the first since a 2-0 ...
3 Reasons We’re Worried About The Usmnt Vs. Honduras
... Look at this. — Major League Soccer (@MLS) March 5, 2017. That’s Romell Quioto nailing a 20 yard strike against Seattle who had one of the best defenses in MLS down the stretch last year. Now look at this. HT: What a ball. This beautiful link-up between Elis & Quioto has @Houston Dynamo in front 2-1. #PORv HOU __link__/Pj Fe 6 Wvgkw. — Major League Soccer (@MLS) March 19, 2017. That’s Romell Quioto taking a touch and coolly slotting the ball into the net off of a pass from his Honduras National Team and Houston Dynamo teammate Alberth Elis. This has me searching for hiding places in my house to watch the game from on Friday. Add to it that Andy Najar is back. The last time the US saw him, he was tearing up the right flank of the US defense in the group stage of the 2015 Gold Cup and looked like the best player on the pitch for the first half of the game. All of this is to say that Honduras is a decent side with some exciting attacking options. They’ll be playing against a team under a new coach under a lot of pressure who is going to be missing some of its ...

Christian Pulisic On Usa Vs Honduras World Cup Qualifier
... the World Cup qualifying stage. “He continues to make progress as player and a person,” said Arena. “In the last couple of months with his club team in Germany, he’s been good. He has very little experience on the international level. He’s going to need to get a taste of it to continue to grow as a player. He has all the tools to be a very good player. I look forward to seeing how he reacts in these next two games.”. Showing poise beyond his years, Pulisic agreed with Arena that he has only begun to scratch the surface of his talents, and the combination of big club games with international appearances will only increase his effectiveness. A student of the game, Pulisic also recognizes that the pursuit to improve extends to practice and preparation sessions too. “Absolutely, yes,” said Pulisic. “Everyday when I go out to training, I am trying to get better and better, and over four months time, being with Dortmund and playing more big games there, it’s just gaining experience. Yes, I feel even stronger than I was then.”. The biggest name in U. S. Soccer history without a doubt is Landon Donovan , who burst onto the scene for the Yanks ahead of the ...
Usmnt's Big Wc Qualifier, Schweinsteiger
... side in any sport are the ones who do the work to prepare and don’t just show up—and who aren’t afraid to be critical of their own ex-teammates and ex-coaches. When a Brit refers to MLS as "soccerball" should we be offended or amused? @Prod Guy. In my experience, laughing at them works best. We can be too sensitive in American soccer to stuff like that. Just tell them you hope they’re enjoying “USA Soccer Guy” on Twitter. How can #NERevs supporters in Boston enable change and get a true soccer-specific stadium? And can @MLS do anything? @Sean Malvey. From what I hear, the Krafts are finally getting in gear and we may not be too far away from an announcement on a stadium in the Boston area. It always helps to have support from local politicians, though, so you might want to register your thoughts on a stadium with them. What would it take for you to get Jonathan Kraft on the podcast? I'd give anything for you to have him on. ...
Usa Vs. Honduras Pre-match
... speaking on his own emotional well being: “I feel great. I wish I could play in the game.”. Arena discussed the inclusion in the U. S. team of Southern California native Jorge Villafaña directly with Soccer Nation. Villafaña is making his first appearance on a World Cup Qualifying roster after recently marking his first cap, appearing in both of the January Camp friendlies against Serbia and Jamaica. Arena was asked what he felt Villafaña did in those friendlies, as well as the January Camp as a whole, to earn a spot on the team. “Well I’ve known Jorge for a number of years, going back to his time at Chivas USA and with the Portland Timbers. I’ve always thought he was a good player. The January Camp really just supported that thinking. We all felt he deserved to be called in for these qualifiers.”. Last Friday in Tijuana, following Santos Laguna’s 1-1 draw with Xolos in Liga MX, Villafaña told Soccer Nation that he was “living a dream”. Arena sees that as a mindset that is much bigger than one player. “I think they’re all living a dream. But as for Jorge, I’m very happy for him. He’s a good young man. He deserves every bit of this.”. ...

U.s. Mnt Aims To #get3 March 24 Vs. Honduras
... and 4-0 defeat at Costa Rica – prompted a change in the head coaching ranks, with the U. S. Soccer Federation tapping Bruce Arena to return to the post he held from 1998-2006. PREVIEW: MNT faces Honduras on March 24 in San Jose. Having successfully led the MNT to the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cups, Arena is now tasked with righting the ship in the USA’s bid to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. When it comes to the upcoming qualifier against Honduras on March 24 in San Jose, the message from the boss couldn’t be any clearer. “Winning your home qualifiers is the way you get to the World Cup,” Arena told __link__. “It’s crucial to get three points against Honduras to protect our home turf and get back on track in qualifying for Russia.”. So how important is this. Yes, the start to the Final Round hasn’t been ideal, but the situation isn’t dire. In fact, the U. S. has been in this situation ...
