This AstroTurf doesn’t look great.

53’

What an opener for Dmitri Radchenko. 

86’

On this day in 2006, Twellman's hat-trick

⚽️ | 📅 #OnThisDay in 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣6️⃣

🇺🇸 #USMNT 5-0 🇳🇴 Norway

📍 Carson

👔 Arena

📋 Friendly

Probably Taylor Twellman’s (@TaylorTwellman) favorite day in a USA kit. A hat-trick for the American!

5’

What a cross from Clint Dempsey leads to a touch and shot for Twellman. (1/5)

17’

A quick second goal from Twellman in a very familiar manner.

With Landon Donovan and Todd Dunivant over the set-piece, Dunivant curls in the left-footed cross.

Twellman rose highest to meet it before finding the back of the net. (2/5)

67’

After a half-cleared corner, Dunivant is the quickest to react and after some patience in the box, the defender fires the ball across the goal.

Eddie Pope readied himself on the six-yard box and redirects toward the goal for the Americans’ third.

76’

This starts with a nice settle from Pat Noonan. He collects himself and lifts a cross to the back post.

Twellman is there again to nod home for the goal and the ninth USMNT hat-trick in its history. (4/5)

87’

Nate Jaqua starts the move centrally before finding Ben Olsen down the left.

Olsen returns it to Jaqua for the initial shot. The ball is kicked back to captain Donovan, who unselfishly lays it into Chris Klein for the roofed finish.

🇺🇸 #USMNT 2-1 🇨🇳 China

📍Oakland

👔 Arena

📋 Friendly

The US opened the year hosting China and Brian McBride starts the year off right.

27’

Jeff Agoos plays the direct ball into a blonde Landon Donovan, who’s flick fell perfectly for the McBride finish.

47’

After the break, one of the crazier own goals scored for the US Men's National Team. 

Agoos plays the ball long, McBride nods it on for Donovan but Wang Liang gets there first.

Just an unfortunate first touch as it is skied toward his own net and that left Weilang scrambling. (2/2)

This match was DaMarcus Beasley’s first cap with the #USMNT. 

Beasley would make 126 caps, which is seventh-most in our national team’s history. He also netted 17 goals.

Only US man to play in four World Cups. Almost five. What a player for us!
