The United States Men’s National Team fell 4-2 to Colombia after holding a lead in the second half. Colombia dominated the majority of the match and the U.S. struggled in basic defending. There were signs of promise from the young Americans, but not enough talent in front of 38,631 fans in Raymond James Stadium, a U.S. soccer record attendance in Tampa.
In his first appearance in 2018 and 141st overall – tying Clint Dempsey for third on the all-time list — Michael Bradley started and wore the captain’s band. Zack Steffen made his sixth appearance of the year – tying a USMNT record for most appearances by a goalkeeper in their debut year – and Bobby Wood, the nation’s top goal scorer this year, got the nod up top.
