Team gets Tuesday off Head coach Steve Sampson has given the entire U.S. team Tuesday off, meaning there will be no player availability for the media. On Wednesday, though, the team will train from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Stade La Beaujoire, with the players available after practice in a mixed zone. Chances increase, but poor finishing proves fatal In their loss to Iran, the Americans outshot their opponents 27-15, but still showed up on the wrong end of a 2-1 score. Through the team’s first two games in France, they have taken a whopping 37 shots. Comparatively, when the host Americans advanced to the second round in 1994, the U.S. took 33 shots in four games. Ramos adds to appearance mark U.S. midfielder Tab Ramos added to his U.S. national team record with his ninth World Cup appearance in the USA’s 2-1 loss to Iran on Sunday. Since making his debut in the 1990 World Cup, Ramos has played 635 World Cup minutes. Ramos’ appearance record is even more incredible considering he underwent reconstructive knee surgery just seven months ago.
