American soccer update

Recently, The American Men's Soccer Team has played friendly games against England and Spain, two of the best teams in the world. In the first, the US did not look good and were lucky to lose by 2-0 to England. In the second, the US looked much better, losing to Spain by 1-0.

Friendly matches do not count for anything but experience. In these cases, the two opponents were playing at home and the US team had to be assembled from around the world.

The US team is composed of American players who play on many different teams, both in the US and in Europe and they are now preparing for competition that matters later this summer. They seem to be looking fine but not really good, and so have potential if they stay healthy and gain more experience working together.
