Americans Abroad: Sunday Rewind

Ethan-Horvath-Molde-Getty

One of the U.S. Men’s National Team’s top goalkeepers remains second choice on the club level while another continues to thrive.

Brad Guzan remained on the bench again for Middlesbrough in a 1-0 loss to Watford, marking the sixth match that the veteran goalkeeper has sat behind former Barcelona star Victor Valdes. Meanwhile in Norway, Ethan Horvath maintained another clean sheet, leading Molde in a 0-0 draw with Sogndal. Josh Gatt also played a major part in that match, featuring for 63 minutes.

Elsewhere, Jerome Kiesewetter joined Fortuna Dusseldorf’s win as a late substitute while Cole Grossman and Caleb Stanko both played heavy minutes as their side earned points.

Here’s a closer look at Sunday’s Americans Abroad:

Brad Guzan dressed but did not play in Middlesbrough’s 1-0 loss to Watford.

  1. Ole Gunner Solsjaer may have made a great tactical choice playing Gatt more at forward, or more advanced positions to limit the number of fouls he’d be prone to further back. I hope he can stay healthy for the rest of the season and to start next year for purposes of progression and being that dynamic player for the Nats we started to see before several injury set backs.

  2. Haji Wright scored for Schalke U19s, Josh Perez for Fiorentina U19

    Jack McBean after a brace last week added another goal this week for Coventry U23s. Coventry has won 5 in a row and have scored 4 or more goals in 4 of those 5. By my unofficial count McBean has 6 goals on the season. Coventry U23 plays in the Professional Development League which is the 3rd Division of the U23 group in England, although there are only 24 total teams in the first two divisions.

    • He’s been playing as a forward since returning to the starting lineup. This week he was wide in a 433. He played underneath the striker one game, and in a tandem another week.
