Gold Cup notes: Zardes eager to do more for USA

After his latest impressive U.S. national team performance, Gyasi Zardes admits he is eager to establish himself as a national team regular.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- To understand just how far Gyasi Zardes has come in a relatively short amount of time with the U.S. national team, consider this. When the year began, the LA Galaxy standout had yet to make a single appearance for the U.S.

Seven months and 10 U.S. appearances later Zardes has enjoyed a crash course in national team play, going from promising newcomer to confident attacker playing well enough to earn consideration for a more prominent role.
