As it has been since the World Cup, production from the forward position is one of the biggest problems facing the United States men's national team. 

Behind Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey on the depth chart are a bunch of young forwards who are starting to prove their worth at the club level, especially a pair plying their trade in the 2. Bundesliga. 

Although it may not be the most competitive league in the world, Andrew Wooten and Bobby Wood are earning consistent playing time and building confidence in front of goal.

Below in our weekly USMNT Watch is a complete roundup of Americans playing across the globe.

Wood and Wooten endured two different fates over the last week with the USMNT; Wood saw the field against Peru and Brazil, while Wooten did not make the bench in either contest. 

Wood seems to have gained the trust of head coach Jurgen Klinsmann based on his recent playing time for the Yanks, but in order to keep that, he needs to score at the club level.



The Hawaiian-born 22-year-old did just that for Union Berlin on Saturday as he made a marauding run down the left wing before slotting home his second strike of the season.

A day before, Wooten netted his sixth goal of the new campaign from the spot in Sandhausen's 1-1 draw with VfL Bochum. 

If both forwards continue to thrive in the German second flight in the coming weeks, they could be vital assets off the bench in the CONCACAF Cup against Mexico.
