Yanks in Europe Tidbits

Here are just some quick tidbits on how the day went for USMNT players in Europe:

-Jozy Altidore started and played 74 minutes for Hull in their 3-3 draw with West Ham. Altidore did not score or set up any of the three, but it's encouraging that Hull were able to generate that kind of offense with Jozy as a lone striker. Jonathan Spector was an unused substitute in the match.

-Clint Dempsey went the full 90 for Fulham in their 1-0 road loss to Birmingham. Eddie Johnson made the bench but was an unused substitute.

-Michael Bradley went 90 minutes for Borussia Monchengladbach in their 2-1 road win over Frankfurt. After a slow start, 'Gladbach have enjoyed a nice run of form over the last month or so.

-Steve Cherundolo was not in the squad for Hanover in their 2-0 road loss to Schalke.

-DaMarcus Beasley, who had a very good game for Rangers before the international break, was left out of the squad for Rangers' 3-0 win over Kilmarnock.

-Carlos Bocanegra did not start, but made his first substitute appearance of the season for Stade Rennes, coming on in the 21st minute. Bocanegra played the final 70 minutes of the match, which Rennes won 2-1 over Le Mans, and picked up a yellow card in the 40th minute.

-Tim Howard made 2 saves in Everton's 3-0 loss to his former team, Manchester United. After a 5th place finish in the EPL last season, Everton are currently sitting in 13th and have struggled defensively.
