COMMERCE CITY, Colo.—Goalkeeping has been a topic of intrigue for the US National Team during this CONCACAF World Cup qualifying cycle. But current USMNT manager Bruce Arena left little doubt when it came to naming a current No. 1 at the position.
“As of now, it’s Tim Howard,” Arena said after Monday’s training session at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. “It’s two good games, and we’ll have to see how these guys look over the next couple weeks. But we have good goalkeepers here, so that’s the least of my worries.”
The Colorado Rapids ‘keeper was one of four goalkeepers called into a two-week training camp in Colorado as the US prepares for three June matches, including the two critical qualifiers against Trinidad & Tobago and Mexico.
