The midweek fixture dates present unique challenges for the MNT players abroad. They typically play Saturday or Sunday, make the long trip to the U.S. and points beyond, play a huge World Cup qualifier and then hightail it home for games the following weekend. To give you an idea of the schedule, here are the league games both before and after Honduras for the 17 foreign-based guys. This weekend saw the return of Fabian Johnson and two keepers squaring off, and in the following there are two players who run up against teams at the top of the table in their leagues.
