One player beginning to make a case for themselves for important minutes in the Hex is USMNT fan favorite (insert sarcasm alert) Timmy Chandler.
Just as it seems Jurgen Klinsmann is trying to motivate his current right-back starter, DeAndre Yedlin, with some interesting quotes after the New Zealand match, one of his competitors is having a huge impact in a high profile match.
Chandler earned the start and played all 90 minutes against the defending Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich, on Saturday. In addition to receiving a yellow card, he also provided the assist on the match-typing goal.
