U.S. Abroad: Americans battle for top spot in Mexico
- by Paul Kennedy @pkedit, Aug 28, 2016
The start is quite a turnaround for Xolos, which finished 17th and 14th in the two phases of the 18-team Liga MX in 2015-16 and put itself in relegation danger if its fortunes didn't improve.
GERMANY. John Brooks (Hertha Berlin) started and Timmy Chandler (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Fabian Johnson (Borussia Moenchengladbach) came off the bench in winning efforts on the Bundesliga's opening day, and Bobby Wood scored in his first division debut in Hamburg's 1-1 tie with FC Ingolstadt. Christian Pulisic dressed but did not play in Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 win over Mainz.
USA=Called in to U.S. national team camp for September qualifiers.
