FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – If Lee Nguyen is trying to show U.S. National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann what he’s missing by leaving him off the final roster for Copa America Centenario, then it has to be said that he’s doing a pretty good job.
Nguyen has registered three goals and five assists in his last five games with the New England Revolution, including one goal and one assist in each of the past three games. He leads the Revs in both categories, Kei Kamara’s five goals scored with Columbus Crew SC notwithstanding.
It’s been a remarkable reaction from Nguyen, who was understandably disappointed not to make the cut for the USMNT’s Copa squad after being named to the initial 40-man roster.
