Bulls Abroad: Sacha Kljestan sits out USA's 2-1 loss to Mexico in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying

New York Red Bulls fans were teased and taunted by the US Men's National Team's opening game of the final round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.

Teased by the fact current RBNY star Sacha Kljestan was on the bench when USMNT kicked off against Mexico: would he get into the game? He would not. In part because of a first-half injury to former MetroStar Tim Howard. The USA's 'keeper suffered a muscle strain while taking a goal kick and had to retire early, forcing head coach Jurgen Klinsmann to burn an early sub on replacement 'keeper Brad Guzan.
