ASN Morning Read: We Begin 2016 with a Win
The United States men's national team comes back against Iceland, then does it again, then earns a late game-winner courtesy of a surprising source. Anyway: Victory. Onward, upward, etc. etc.
- U.S. Scores Late, Defeating Iceland 3-2 in Friendly
- Another take: Veteran-laden side, rejuvenated Altidore lift USMNT past Iceland
- Nice work, fellas:
Congratulations to #USMNT's @EthanFinlay13, @KellynAcosta, @TonyTchani23 & Jerome Kiesewetter on recording their first caps today. #USAvISL
