U.S faces Bosnia and Herzegovina to finish January camp

The U.S. Men’s National Team faces Bosnia and Herzegovina tonight in Carson, Calif. It is the first match of 2018 and will feature a lot of new names for the United States.

January camps tend to have less experienced players and do not call in most players based in Europe but this camp has fewer veterans than normal. The U.S. called in a lot of players with little experience as they start to rebuild for the future.

The effort to build the players for the future and looking to put the failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup behind them has resulted in twenty players that are 24 and under, 15 players without a cap and ten that it is their first time on the senior roster.

Sporting Kansas City and MLS Defender of the Year Ike Opara could earn his first cap tonight.

KC Connections

In addition to Opara, former Sporting KC forward CJ Sapong is on the U.S. roster and could earn his 4^th cap. Sporting KC Academy and Sporting Iowa product Elvir Ibisevic was called up for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
