All MLS players (excluding backup goalkeeper Nick Rimando) on the U.S. Men’s National Team logged minutes in the team’s group stage wins versus Honduras and Haiti, and draw against Panama. The USMNT clinched Group A with the help of Sounders FC’s Clint Dempsey, who scored three of the team’s four goals including a brace against Honduras. Newly-appointed captain and Toronto FC midfielder Michael Bradley picked up an assist against Honduras and scored the game-tying goal against Panama last night. The USMNT begins quarterfinal play on Saturday, July 18 at 5 p.m. ET live on FOX and Univision.


Despite securing only one point in its first two matches, the Canadian Men’s National Team can still advance into the Round of 16 with a win over Costa Rica tonight (8:30 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1, UniMas, UDN, Sportsnet One). To do so, the CanMNT will look for one of its two budding MLS stars—Tesho Akindele and Cyle Larin—to find the score sheet. Five of the 10 MLS players represented on the Reds’ roster have logged minutes thus far. 


Jamaica played seven of its eight MLS representatives in its opening group stage matches. New York Red Bulls defender Kemar Lawrence entered Gold Cup on the heels of a Copa America Group Stage Best XI selection. The 24-year-old recorded an assist and played 180 minutes as the Reggae Boyz picked up four points. Jamaica will advance with a win or draw versus El Salvador tonight (6:00 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1, UniMas, UDN, Sportsnet World). 

 

Two MLSers scored in Trinidad and Tobago’s 3-1 win against Guatemala last Thursday. San Jose Earthquakes’ 22-year-old midfielder opened his international account with a 14th-minute goal and Chicago Fire midfielder Joevin Jones added the insurance tally 11 minutes later.

 

FC Dallas’ Blas Perez picked up an assist in Panama’s opening draw with Haiti and then scored the opener in its 1-1 tie with the U.S. last night at Sporting Park, and Real Salt Lake’s Alvaro Saborio distributed a helper in Costa Rica’s 1-1 draw with El Salvador on Saturday.
