Boston College alum Alejandro Beodya has evolved into a reliable veteran presence for the US men’s national team. Today, in his 62nd appearance with the team, he’ll wear the captain’s armband for the first time from the opening whistle:
The US takes on Panama with opening kickoff taking place at around 5 PM on Fox. It’s the opening game of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The US is in a group with Panama, Nicaragua and Martinique. The Americans’ roster is a mix of veterans and newcomers, as they look to give some new players a shot at earning a spot for the big World Cup qualifying games this fall.
