PUBLISHED

VIEWS
USMNT interim head coach Anthony Hudson remains without a win following the team's goalless stalemate with Colombia in California Saturday night.
The temporary boss continued to experiment with a youthful side with former head coach Gregg Berhalter being investigated by US Soccer, but neither team could find the breakthrough in the friendly fixture.
The USA lost 2-1 to Serbia in Hudson's first match in charge on Wednesday with who will take the No. 1 job permanently uncertain following the bombshell 'blackmail' scandal.

That 1994 game became tragic for the events following the match
A shot from John Harkes deflected off the foot of Andres Escobar and into his own net at the World Cup at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena - just up the road from Carson.
That was the first goal in a 2-1 loss for Colombia that saw them eliminated from the World Cup.
Andres Escobar was murdered when he arrived back home as a result of this unfortunate error.

The US looks to break an unlucky drought against Los Cafeteros
The United States has defeated Colombia exactly three times in their entire history: a 1-0 win in October 1984, a tragic 2-1 win at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, and a 3-0 win in March of 2005.
Since that last win, the USA has a record of 0-1-5, including a four-match losing streak.

Earlier this week, we talked about six players to watch as they all made their debuts with the USMNT.
Interim manager Anthony Hudson has called up a squad that skews young - featuring 11 players that are set to make their debuts for the USMNT. Dailymail.com has picked out the ones to watch.

John Tolkin gets set to make his debut
The defender was described by Anthony Hudson as a 'big character' and 'great to have around' while also owning, 'a real dogged determination'

Being surrounded by away supporters is just part and parcel of being a US Soccer fan
There are an estimated 115,392 Colombian-Americans living in California.
Add in roughly 16,000 in the neighboring states of Nevada and Arizona and you have a high possibility of USA fans being outnumbered.
There are only 27,000 seats at Dignity Health Sports Park - where tonight's game is being held.
I guess it's less embarrassing to be outnumbered there than say, the Rose Bowl

The scenes tonight will be much different - and likely more hostile - than Wednesday
Last Wednesday's preferential start time for the West Coast did not have its intended effect, as thousands of seats sat empty for the 2-1 loss to Serbia.
This time around, the USMNT sent out an advisory via Twitter that this match is sold out.
There will surely be a few dozen American fans sprinkled in amongst a sea of Colombia supporters.

Paxten Aaronson makes his debut and marks an important milestone with brother Brenden
The Aaronsons of Medford, New Jersey are now the eighth pair of brothers to have played for the American national team.
