Yarbrough aims for Leon revival to spark USMNT return

The goalkeeper won back the Leon No. 1 job & hopes the national team is next, though he hasn't followed the twists and turns of the coaching search

William Yarbrough is not a forgotten man. At least, he's not a forgotten man at the Cotton Bowl where throngs of Leon supporters welcomed his arrival on the field Sunday by chanting his name. He waved to the supporters, then saw out a clean sheet in a 3-0 friendly victory against Chivas.

There was a danger, even an expectation, going into the season that Leon fans would move on from the 29-year-old goalkeeper.
