Yanks Abroad: Jann George nets third goal of the season

Before leaving for camp in Virginia, the players for United Stations Men’s National Team were scattered around the globe competing for their club teams. We got a goal from Jann George over in Germany and a much-needed assist from Christian Pulisic in England. In other good news, Alfredo Morales returned from injury and DeAndre Yedlin put in his first 90 minute shift since back in April.

Here’s what happened over the weekend:
