Andrew Carleton found out that he had been called up to the United States under-20 men’s national team in a rather unconventional way.
“I found out I had gotten called up because I had to call (U-20 coach) Tab (Ramos) to ask him a question,” he said.
Maybe the cat got out of the bag a little early - usually, it’s through email, which Carleton did receive - but message received, at least.
With a pair of friendlies in Spain against France and Japan in the rear view mirror, Carleton hopes that he made enough of an impression to make the final U-20 squad that will head to Poland for the World Cup in May.
