Americans Abroad Wednesday Rewind: Eric Lichaj, Jorge Villafana and more

Wednesday was a solid day for a pair of U.S. Men’s National Team fullbacks looking to make an impression ahead of World Cup qualifying.

Eric Lichaj played a full 120 minutes for Nottingham Forest on Wednesday as the Championship club upset Premier League side Newcastle United to advance in the League Cup. He was not the only USMNT player to find success, though, as Danny Williams went a full 90 as Huddersfield Town took down Rotherham United. Geoff Cameron did not dress, although Stoke City cruised to a win over lower-league opposition.

In Mexico, Jorge Villafana returned to the Santos Laguna lineup alongside Ventura Alvarado in a 1-1 draw with Chivas de Guadalajara. Meanwhile, Jonathan Gonzalez continued to make his mark for  Monterrrey, who cruised to yet another win.

  1. Johnathan Gonzalez on the rise, I mentioned it the other day that Arena asked Tab for his number so maybe not a call up next week but maybe soon or just letting him know he’s watching.
