Tottenham Hotspur-owned Cameron Carter-Vickers continued where he left off with Sheffield United.
Tottenham Hotspur-owned Cameron Carter-Vickers made his long-awaited debut for the United States on Tuesday, and continued where he left off with Sheffield United.
Carter-Vickers was summoned from the bench half-way through the USA’s 1-1 draw with Portugal, kept a clean sheet and was a goalline clearance away from getting on the scoresheet.
The Tottenham product has helped Sheffield United to second in the Championship during his season-long loan spell, prompting strong calls for his inclusion back in his father’s homeland.
And for many, the decision to hand Carter-Vickers his debut was too little too late for the USMNT, who have already failed to qualify for next summer’s World Cup finals in Russia – resulting in Bruca Arena’s resignation as manager.
Here’s what United States fans have been saying about the 19-year-old on Twitter…
Another United States debutant Weston McKennie, put the visitors in front in Leiria, but Vitorino Antunes equalised 10 minutes later.
Have the USA dropped the ball not playing Sheffield United’s on-loan Tottenham Hotspur defender sooner?
