On Tuesday, Real Salt Lake forward and reigning AT&T MLS Rookie of the Year Corey Baird made his third start for the U.S. Men’s National Team during an international friendly against Chile.
As the US continues its evolution under Head Coach Gregg Berhalter, Baird has been a point of consideration as one of Major League Soccer’s brightest young stars and has now been selected to the team twice since Berhalter took the reins in December 2018.
Starting on the right wing for Berhalter, Baird continually provided a threat out wide for the Stars-and-Stripes, helping the USMNT to a 1-1 draw with Chile – currently ranked No.
