The big performance of the weekend for Americans playing abroad belongs to Jozy Altidore who bagged a brace in AZ Alkmaar’s 2-1 win over PEC Zwolle. Neither goal was spectacular, but two goals is still two goals.

If Coach Jurgen Klinsmann is looking for a novel approach at USMNT training camp this January, he could consider an intrapool scrimmage between presumed starters and players from MLS clubs. There is little doubt that starters Klinsmann will employ against hexagonal opponents in 2013 will not include heavy MLS representation. If Landon Donovan opts not to play, that starting 11 might be entirely comprised...
