USMNT Watch: Jozy Altidore and Edgar Castillo Both Score

Jozy Altidore and Edgar Castillo led the American effort abroad this week as both got on the scoresheet for their respective clubs.

Joe Gyau also made his Bundesliga debut, and Brad Guzan and Tim Howard finished as their team's highest-rated players.

There are also injury updates on Julian Green and Fabian Johnson.

Check out all the action of America's stars playing abroad in this week's USMNT Watch.
