I would think a tuneup game or two before the Gold Cup in July would be added too, but that's what we're looking at so far for 2015.
 
sooooo many meaningless friendlies that interrupt club football. UNACCEPTABLE!

Now that would be a fun trip. Unfortunately I owe my boss vacation days in 2015 so I don't think it's gonna happen...

Rubio Rubin with a nice match for Utrecht today. Had a goal and 24/26 passing against Ajax. 2 goals in his last 2 starts.
