Sarachan calls in 22 for Paraguay

By Sean McCaffery, March 19, 2018

Young players all over the field for their next friendly, the average age of the USMNT will be 23 years, 84 days with 17 of them below the age of 25, I still wear clothes older than that. This will feature both hopefuls and some with more experieince and yes tickets are still available. The game on Mar. 27 will be boadcast starting at 7:30 p.m. ET on FS1 & UniMas, the US Soccer Facebook, Tiwtter and Instagram accounts will also bring you the action. HC Sarachan stated "The timing is right to give these guys international exposure, and they will certainly be tested against a strong and experienced Paraguayan team."  A dozen of these players had been on final rosters for various age groups World Cups, and 15 have ties in the USSDA program. Players with club teams from 10 different nations and a dozen leagues populate this youthful roster. A few have this as their first call up, Erik-Palmer Brown, Antonee Robinson, Tim Weah, Andrija Novakovich & Shaq Moore.

There is a bit of a local flavor to this selection, with Matt Miazga of both NJ and the NYRB in the past, Tyler Adams from NY and now with the NY Red Bulls, and Timothy Weah of late from Rosedale and now with PSG.
