United States U-18 national team Head Coach Tab Ramos calls up Tacoma Defiance’s Marlon Vargas, Alec Diaz

For the fourth time this month, standouts from the Seattle Sounders youth system have been called up to United States youth national teams.

U.S. U-18 Head Coach Tab Ramos called up Tacoma Defiance winger Marlon Vargas and forward Alec Diaz this week for a domestic national team camp in Carson, Calif., running from Feb. 1-7. While Vargas was last called in for a U-14 BNT camp in 2015, this is the first USYNT involvement for Diaz.

The pair is currently in Orange County, Calif., participating in preseason with the Sounders FC First Team.
