What offseason?

Fresh off of a 2-1 loss to the third-ranked country in the world - Colombia - Wondo and the USMNT traveled from London to Dublin where they'll face Ireland on Tuesday for their final match of 2014. 



Quakes midfielder Cordell Cato is continuing a very successful run in the 2014 Caribbean Cup with Trinidad and Tobago. After securing 2015 Gold Cup qualification with a 4-2 win over French Guiana and 3-2 victory over Curacao, Trinidad and Tobago landed a spot in the 2014 Caribbean Cup finals. The Soca Warriors take on Jamaica on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. PT. 



Homegrown player Tommy Thompson has been a hit on the international scene, helping the USMNT U-20s secure two wins in the Marabelle Tournament in Spain. The U-20 squad down Russia U-21s 4-3 and defeated Ireland 1-0. Tommy and the U-20s wrap up tournament play against Canada on Tuesday, kickoff at 7:30 a.m. PT. 

International veteran Victor Bernardez and Honduras haven't had as good of run this break, suffering a 6-0 defeat to Japan on Friday. Los Catrachos will look to redeem themselves against China on Tuesday, 3:25 a.m. PT kickoff.
