San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper David Bingham had a night he will never forget – earning his first cap for the United States Men’s National Team in a friendly against Canada on Friday evening. The U.S. found a late goal to emerge victorious 1-0, giving Bingham his first cap, win, clean sheet and full 90-minute performance all on the same night. His presence and poise between the posts garnered attention from the match commentators, who referred to him as “confident” and “comfortable” towards the end of the national broadcast.
Head coach Jurgen Klinsmann shared that sentiment.
“I think he really had a good game,” said Klinsmann, who felt his play during the month-long camp warranted the start on Friday.
