The USMNT will look to score its first goal of 2018 as the team takes on Paraguay on Tuesday. Moving forward from the qualifying debacle last year, the Stars and Stripes have called in a youthful team of somewhat unknown players. Normally the inclusion of a player from the Dutch second division would elicit a reaction that would be more puzzlement than excitement, but 21 year-old Andrija Novakovich of Telstar is providing more of the latter.
Wait, who?
Novakovich is from Wisconsin, however his family took a winding path to come to the US as described by Steven Goff of the Washington Post.
