This three-week break from MLS play has been full of international news for New York City FC fans. Six players from the first team were called up to their respective nations, Joe Scally scored a game winner in the U-17’s 3-2 win over Brazil, and Alex Ring called it a career with Finland.
But possibly the most exciting of events just occurred last night. Ben Sweat, making his first-ever start for the United States, faced off against his NYCFC teammate Alex Callens who started for his native Peru.
