The United States men’s national team will have to wait until March for its first win of 2023.
With 10 minutes to go and a chance to put all the chips on the table against a mostly reserved-filled Colombia side with a loss meaning nothing, he brought on 29-year-old right back Julian Gressel when the game desperately needed more directness in attack. The U.S. played most of the second half in either midfield or in their own defensive third, with youngsters like Cade Cowell, who shined on Wednesday, sitting on the bench.
Zimmerman and Long were both fortunate to not see their mistakes end in a Colombia goal within the game’s opening minutes, and their ball-playing abilities just haven’t enhanced, no matter how much it’s forced. Neal and Sam Rogers, who earned his first cap off the bench in place of Long, should be two of the youngsters getting more reps with their potential being far higher than the former pairing.
Ferreira ended the game with no shots, one dribble attempt that failed, 18 touches, two out of eight ground duels won and 9-for-11 completed passes, with one being a sizzling through ball that should’ve been an assist to Hoppe after a powerless strike. Still, Ferreira didn’t do himself any favors in the ongoing search for the USMNT’s starting No. 9. The 5-foot-9, 139-pound 19-year-old, whose older brother is Leeds United key man Brenden, earned his first cap on Saturday.
The second half required him to do more defensive work, and he looked up to the task. He never shied away from contact, winning nine of 19 ground duels against physical midfielders and adding five tackles and two clearances to his name. Whether that’s his long-term position is up in the air, and he could also occupy the same zones on the opposite side, but there’s a player here for the future.
