Chris Richards News: Mixed outing in defeat

Richards recorded one tackle (zero won) and nine clearances in Monday's 4-1 loss versus Belgium.

Richards almost reached double digits in clearances, leading all players in the game in that category, but he committed a costly error and saw his team's goal beaten four times in the round of 16 clash. It was the end of the USMNT's World Cup run, and the key defender logged 90 minutes in four out of five matches. While the team's high possession numbers allowed him to amass passes, he also stood out for his average of 6.8 clearances per contest. He'll aim to return to a consistent role when club action resumes in August.
