It's also important to note that Shea is the starting left back for Orlando City SC as well....so his time at defender is not limited to the national team as Evans initial appearances were.

It should also be important to note that Brek Shea is not a very good soccer player, in any position. The movement of wingers to wingbacks is taking on fresh impetus since the revival of some European club teams doing the same thing.
Also, in reverse of that, look for Yedlin to transform to a more winger, outside mid role at Tottenham.

I didn't think it should be a red card until I saw that. Guys are awful yelling at the refs in the PL, and it doesn't take a lip reader to see what's being said.
But... going in twice like that is just selfish

Ibut Jozy said the magic word "you" following the F-bomb that'll get any player a red. Once the swear word is personally directed at the ref, it's a no brainer.
Uncle Si":3u2ly93g said:Will it though? I've seen F-- you "muttered" more than a fair share. Actually can't remember the last time I saw a ref dish out so much as a card for getting cussed at. And those scrums around the ref have some nasty things being about.
I think the difference here is a friendly over a true match. If there is more than pride on the line Jozy stays and the ref gives him the yellow for the tackle and a warning.

That and we have lost the one element that really has stuck with US Soccer...that feeling that we never go away, we never stop fighting....
Shambles. Just shambles.

It's our back line that has me depressed. Have we EVER had a solid back line? Seems like it's been the Achilles heal of the USMNT FOREVER.
