The Copa America has come and gone, and the Mid-American Conference was represented by three selections. Three former Akron Zips in DeAndew Yedlin (Sunderland/Tottenham), Darlington Nagbe (Portland Timbers) and Perry Kitchen (Hearts of Midlothian) were tabbed by Jurgen Klinnsman to represent the Stars and Stripes. Yedlin was the only steady starter, with Nagbe being an offensive sub and Kitchen seeing no time on the pitch.
Many were disappointed with the USMNT's sore finish of fourth in the annual tournament between North, Central and South American national squads, but there were a lot of positives to take looking forward.
