Unlike last week's offensive bonanza, the players in the United States men's national team talent pool were collectively quiet in front of goal this week.

Despite the slow week in the final third, there were a few major achievements and injuries that caught the attention of the USMNT fans. 

With that in mind, we begin our weekly USMNT watch with an impressive accomplishment in the English Premier League.

 

Brad Guzan Extends Impressive Streak into Triple Digits 

The current No. 1 'keeper on the USMNT depth chart started his 100th consecutive match in the English top flight for Aston Villa on Saturday.

The last player to start 100 consecutive Premier League matches was Jonathan Walters, who achieved the mark back in 2013. 



Unfortunately for Brad Guzan and the Villans, they could not celebrate the milestone in the style, as they fell 2-1 to Walters' Stoke City. 

The loss dropped Tim Sherwood's side down to 19th place after Burnley secured a surprising point at Stamford Bridge.

Geoff Cameron was not available for selection Saturday at Villa Park due to the red card he picked up in the FA Cup last time out.

Tim Howard received less than stellar reviews for his performance in Everton's 2-2 draw with Leicester City at Goodison Park on Sunday. 

 

Tim Ream Leaves Bolton's Match With an Injury

One of the players who should be set for a call-up in the near future is Bolton Wanderers defender Tim Ream.

In his side's 4-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest, Ream exited in the 34th minute due to an injury. 

The good news coming from Ream's camp is that he is not seriously injured. If he can remain in form over the final few months of the season, he has a real chance of playing in the CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer.
