As MLS takes a week off for an international break next weekend, five Minnesota United players will be in action with their national teams. Michael Boxall (New Zealand), Francisco Calvo (Costa Rica), Kevin Molino (Trinidad and Tobago) and Johan Venegas (Costa Rica) will all be participating in World Cup Qualifying matches and Jermaine Taylor (Jamaica) will be involved in international friendlies.
After playing in the FIFA Confederations Cup earlier this summer, Boxall and his fellow Kiwis are entering their final round of qualifying in the Oceania region (OFC).
