USA vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina and Soccer Memorabilia

August 14, 2013 was a special day in U.S. Soccer history with a 4-3 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina. This put the United States Mens National Team in a growing winning streak. Starting off with a lackluster first half with Bosnia-Herzegovina leading with 2-0, the U.S. team seemed doomed to finish with their first defeat in a very long time.

Getting his first start with the United States steam, John Anthony Brooks proved that he could play just as well as the senior team.

For all the soccer fans, enjoy some memorabilia to decorate your bedroom and the rest of the house.

August 14, 2013, Soccer Everton goalkeeper and captain of the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) forged ahead of their clash with Bosnia. The 34-year-old led the U.S team which relies on young players a lot. Clint Dempsey was absent for the game. Many European-based players had been given a chance and Coach Jurgen Klinsmann was delighted to see these players.

Herculez Gomez was absent due to a knee injury and will be out for four to six weeks. Michael Orozco Fiscal was not available due to hamstring injury. Landon Donavan was also excluded from the squad. Donavan scored a hat trick on Sunday and is now just five goals away from breaking the record of Jeff Cunningham. Donavan has already scored 130 goals in the MLS.

There was a rumor that the German coach Jurgen Klinsmann and Dempsey have developed some differences after latter being transferred from Spurs to Seattle. But the coach was excited to have the striker back to the country. He said, "I am thrilled for MLS, because you have an outstanding player now hopefully filling more stadiums and getting even more kids and people excited about the game."

The friendly against Bosnia is an important one as the new faces will be tested. Brad Evans and Eddie Johnson are the only two MLS players who are included in the roster. Bosnia and Herzegovina provided a stiff competition to Coach Jurgen Klinsmann's side.

Edin Dzeko, Asmir Begovic and Miralem Pjanic are the top soccer plays for Bosnia and Herzegovina and a challenge facing off with the young American side.

USMNT travelled to Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Olimpijski Stadion Asim Ferhatovic Hase, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Wednesday's international friendly took place at 2:30 p.m. ET.

The crowd cheered as Jozy Altidore pulled a hat trick the second half of the friendly rallied from a two goal deficit to win with a 4-3 over Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The USMNT now has a 12 game winning streak record.

Sep 6, 2013 will be Costa Rica - USA for the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying.
