Nick Rimando called up to USMNT for qualifiers

In case you weren’t paying attention, Nick Rimando has proven one of the more consistent goalkeepers in American soccer history, and for that, he’s been given yet another call-up to the U.S. Men’s National team for World Cup Qualifiers.

Despite not having the mass of caps that, say, Tim Howard has, Rimando’s continued call-ups place him firmly as the third-choice goalkeeper under Jurgen Klinsmann and now Bruce Arena.

The U.S. hosts Costa Rica on Friday at 4:30 p.m. Mountain at Red Bull Arena, then travels to Honduras on Sept. 5. Rimando’s not slated to miss any RSL minutes during that time.
