We take a look at Birdbomb in our preview series.
D.C. United may have started their preseason late last month in Florida, but Steve Birnbaum started his season a tad earlier in California, as part of the United States men's national team camp held every January. And he then scored the game-winning goal in the USA's first game against Iceland and played out of position (on a Jurgen Klinsmann-coached team? The Devil you say!) at right back in the second game against Canada and received praise for his work in that game, and is one of a few players who may have helped their cause in camp, particularly with the World Cup Qualifiers and Copa America tournament to be held this year, Birnbaum may be seeing some sort of senior team time somewhere in 2016.
