Coach Berhalter surprised everyone by including Sebastian Lletget on the USMNT team that started the game against the Welsh team. The MLS player won the position to players from Europe and that makes several MLS players who are not in their team think that they can achieve it.

Gerardo Martino had said a few days ago that being in the MLS reduced the chances of the players being in the Mexican national team, but even so, he summoned Rodolfo Pizarro and Dos Santos. That is why Chicharito Hernandez still hopes to one day return to the national team.

Sebastian Lletget did not have a great season in LA Galaxy and thus everything today is considered as the starting forward in USMNT. In a team surrounded by players like Giovanni Reyna, McKennie or Pulisic, the LA Galaxy forward earned his place and plays the. This has to serve Javier Hernandez as a cheerleader to try to return to the Mexican team in the near future.

Javier Hernandez does not have the doors closed for the Mexican national team but he will have to show in LA Galaxy that he still has the level to be there. At the moment the Mexican team will have two new games, one against Korea and the other against Japan. For its part, USMNT will face Wales after 10 months without playing a friendly.
