23 Shares

Gregg Berhalter tuned into the Red Bull Salzburg-Lille Champions League match in order to watch two of his U.S. men’s national team players go head to head, and Brenden Aaronson and Tim Weah both gave Berhalter reason to be confident they will make an impact in the October World Cup qualifiers.

Aaronson got the better of his USMNT teammate, helping Red Bull Salzburg post a 2-1 victory over Weah’s Lille. Aaronson delivered the killer pass that helped draw the opening penalty, and finished with two key passes in the group stage victory. Weah was active as well, finishing with two successful dribbles and three tackles completed.

Timmy Chandler hasn’t played much for Eintracht Frankfurt this season, but he was solid in his second consecutive start to help the German club defeat Royal Antwerp in Europa League action.

In English League Championship action this week, Fulham posted a 3-1 win against Swansea City, with Tim Ream starting and delivering an assist for the Cottagers.

  1. Why has Berhalter not called in Henry Wingo as a striker option for the upcoming qualifiers? He seems to have a keen eye for goal.

    Reply
    • Wingo is a right back in his mid-twenties. I’ve seen him play a few times and he’s solid, but I don’t see him ever getting a USMNT call up.

      • But he’s brave, Jamie, willing to kick the ball into his own net when the moment calls for it. That’s the kind of guile we need on this team. 😉
