Bruce Arena began his return to the U.S. men's national team with a bit of levity.
In a video released by U.S. Soccer, a mic'd-up Arena pokes plenty of fun at 34-year-old DaMarcus Beasley, who remains available for the national team after coming out of international retirement for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Arena opened his first camp since replacing Jurgen Klinsmann as manager at a team gathering by explaining how he used to run January camp when the Gold Cup was played during the winter, back in his earlier stint as U.S. coach.
"For me personally, I've been involved in this for a long time," Arena said.
