While an injury to a U.S. Men’s National Team regular headlined the weekend, there were some positives to take away from the contingent of Americans Abroad.
John Brooks’ thigh injury put a damper on the American view of DFB-Pokal action, but goals from Timmy Chandler and Bobby Wood served as positive highlights throughout the opening round of the German Cup. Five Americans saw the field throughout the first weekend of the tournament, although Wood, who scored from the penalty spot, saw his run end prematurely with an early defeat.
In England, Geoff Cameron’s Premier League campaign began with a start and a loss while David Wagner, Danny Williams and Huddersfield Town provided a shocking win to begin life in the top flight.
Elsewhere, Ethan Horvath earned another win over Club Brugge, Tim Ream started in a 1-1 draw and youngster Jonathan Gonzalez headlined Liga MX play.

SUPER LIGA
Perry Kitchen started and played 90 minutes in Randers 0-0 draw with Brondby on Sunday.
Watched the first few minutes on replay on NBC sports app and that is at least where he started.
Did anyone watch Stoke’s game? If my app lineup was correct, then Cameron played on the left-side of a 3 man back-line.
Anyone know the story behind Puilsic not even dressing?
I think a lot of first-team regulars were rested in a cup game against a lower tier team.
From Dortmund’s website article on the match:
http://www.bvb.de/eng/News/Overview/Unstoppable-BVB-cruise-to-4-0-victory-over-Rieslasingen
“There was a genuine surprise in the BVB starting line-up, with A-Junior champion Beste handed his professional debut on the left flank. New signings Philipp and Dahoud also started. The Black & Yellow were without Reus (partial tear of the cruciate ligament), Schmelzer (partial tear of the lateral collateral ligament), Guerreiro (ankle), Weigl (fitness), Rode (fibre tear), Durm (muscular problems), Pulisic (fitness, due to resume training on Monday), Götze (fatigue following five-month injury layoff) and Dembélé (suspended). Sokratis wore the captain’s armband.”
Kyle Scott made the bench for Chelsea.
That explains why they lost
Might of had something to do with playing down a man for 67 minutes and two down for the last nine.
