After a rollercoaster 10 days with the national team, U.S. players were back in club action over the weekend. With the American squad now idle until it reconvenes in the middle of next month ahead of June's Copa America Centenario, that's where their focus must remain. After all, how players fare in their day jobs will go a long way toward determining whether Jurgen Klinsmann selects them for that high-profile tournament on U.S. soil.
Then again, Klinsmann learned plenty about his player pool during the USA's calamitous 2-0 loss in Guatemala City on Mar. 25 and the 4-0 win over Los Chapines four days later in Columbus, Ohio -- lessons he's not likely to forget over the next six weeks.
