USMNT and USWNT Abroad: The international break return
By Daniel Garza
USMNT and USWNT players across the globe were back in action from the international break. So let’s see how they fared in the week that was.
It was a relatively quiet week for American players overseas. A few of the players involved in the United States Men’s National Team victory over Paraguay were right back in action.
USMNT players will be hoping to establish themselves after a disastrous World Cup qualification campaign with Dave Sarachan still working out the make-up of his squad and starting XI.
