United States forward Terrence Boyd has had a busy couple months with the national team. He made his debut for Jurgen Klinsmann's senior side in February when he came on as a late substitute in the team's historic win against Italy.

A month later, he joined the U-23 squad for their ill-fated Olympic qualifying tournament. Boyd scored two goals in the heartbreaking draw with El Salvador that eliminated the United States.

Now he's back in Germany, scoring bags of goals for Borussia Dortmund's reserve squad while working to break into the Bundesliga-leading first team.

Terrence Boyd: It was an intensive match, I guess for neutral fans it was nice to watch, but for us it was one of the most disappointing things we have felt yet. Of course, it's nice to play and score for the USA, but unfortunately we didn't win.
