The US beat St. Vincent and the Grenadines in its World Cup qualifying opener, 6:1 but that's not important. (However, allowing the opening goal within five minutes was downright shameful.) What's important is that Matt Miazga made an appearance off the bench, coming on in the 64th minute. That cap-tied him to the US for the rest of his life.

Miazga, who has appeared for both US and Polish youth national team, had been contemplating his options. Being capped in a FIFA senior tournament leaves him with no choice.
