Everywhere you turned over the last seven days, there was news involving someone in the United States men's national team talent pool.

On the pitch, the European contingent kicked off domestic league and cup campaigns, including Brad Guzan, who impressed in between the pipes for Aston Villa.

Guzan Starts Premier League Season on Strong Note 

Guzan and the Villains traveled to Bournemouth to face the Premier League debutantes at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday. With the Cherries knocking on the door in the first half, Guzan made a critical pair of saves to keep the match scoreless heading into halftime. 

The goalkeeper, who was benched near the end of last season by Villa boss Tim Sherwood, displayed plenty of confidence on both of his denials in the 1-0 Villa win. The victory also helped the Villains get off to a strong start in a season in which they may end up in the relegation race again. 



Over at Goodison Park, Tim Howard was not so lucky in goal for Everton against another promoted side. Howard let in two strikes in the 2-2 draw with Watford, including one to Mexico international Miguel Layun.

DeAndre Yedlin was left out of the matchday squad for Tottenham Hotspur's trip to Manchester United, while Geoff Cameron and Stoke City host Liverpool on Sunday. 

Down in the Championship, Jonathan Spector, Danny Williams and Eric Lichaj all started for their respective sides.
