Three players from the Colorado Rapids—Jermaine Jones, Tim Howard, and Kevin Doyle—received international call ups for World Cup qualifying matches later this month. I think we all knew that Jermaine Jones would get called up by Jurgen Klinsmann if he was healthy, so that’s no surprise. Hopefully this will just get him more playing time and help him get into shape for the Western Conference Finals against the Seattle Sounders on November 22.
Tim Howard has also been a staple on the squad, even if he hasn’t been starting regularly.
