What a difference a game makes.
The United States Men’s National Team played the toughest opponent they will face this international break when they took the field against Uruguay yesterday, and New York City FC goalkeeper Sean Johnson emerged the hero.
We’re not going to recap the scoreless draw before 19,569 fans at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City: We’ll leave that to our friends at Stars and Stripes FC and 90min.com. Instead, we’ll look at the significance of Johnson’s player-of-the-match performance, and what it might mean for the USMNT roster when the 2022 FIFA World Cup Finals roll around in November.
