    Jay hasn't started, but is on the bench for the US vs Brasil friendly pitting the CONCACAF champs up against the CONMEBOL champs.
    10', no score. I expect to see Jay as a sub should the score get run up by the Samba boys.

    Did Jay get on?

    No, he didn't. This game was not out of hand until the last 10 minutes, and even then we had some chances. I don't think Jay could have handled the Brasilians well.

    Thanks for the updates Fitz. I'm sure Jay will get his chance.
