For more almost a decade now, Bill Hamid has been a stalwart goalkeeper in Major League Soccer. At 19, he became the youngest goalkeeper to win a regular-season MLS match, beating Tim Howard’s record by four days.
Hamid has now made 200 appearances for D.C. United — and Wednesday night’s was arguably his best performance yet.
The question is: Will it get him some playing time with the USMNT?
Tata Martino announced a 29-man, preliminary Mexico Gold Cup roster on Tuesday and a few big names were left off the squad.
Carlos Vela, Javier Hernandez, Héctor Herrera and Jesus Corona were all omitted from Martino’s team ahead of friendlies against Venezuela and Ecuador to warm up for the Gold Cup. The roster will be trimmed to 23 before the start of the Gold Cup on June 15 against Cuba.

Cristian Roldan is not known for his scoring. And when he does score, it's typically nothing special; he's just in the right place at the right time.
That's what makes the past two weeks that much more amazing.
The Seattle Sounders and USMNT midfielder hit not one, but two world-class volleys over that period — the first coming against Minnesota United last week and the second against the Houston Dynamo last night.
Here's a look at Roldan's equalizer against the Loons on May 4.

The growth of soccer in the United States has been incredible over the past decade. Not only have we seen growth domestically within Major League Soccer, but just walking down the street you can pick out multiple different soccer jerseys being casually worn. It has become one of the most popular sports in the country.
Let me just preface this by saying I usually don’t give any shits about the British royal family — or any royal family, for that matter.

But this royal baby is different.
