The U.S. U-23s got a pretty good result Wednesday in the first scrimmage of their February camp, edging a close to first choice FC Dallas side 2-1, despite finishing the game with nine men.

That meant a number of second choice starters, including outside backs Kofi Sarkodie and Jorge Villafana. The defense still held up, which is great news. It will only get better when Alfredo Morales and Greg Garza join the team. (more…)
