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

Impact 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.

Plays 90 after injury Richards recorded a full 90 minutes in Friday's 4-1 win over Paraguay.

Impact Richards would earn the start Friday after some questions about his health following an ankle injury. However, he put all the worries to rest, as he would not just start but also play the full 90. With multiple clearances out of the box and a solid effort, he seems to be close to his regular self again. That said, he recorded three clearances, an interception and one tackle won in the defense.

Starting opener Richards (ankle) is in the starting XI for Friday's match against Paraguay.

Impact Richards is back with the USMNT as expected for their opener, as the defender takes a spot in the starting defense to face Paraguay. This is a major return for the defense as they add back their best center-back, likely to play a major role moving forward. He is partnered with Tim Ream and Alex Freeman in the defense, with Mark McKenzie likely to be added to the rotation as the tournament plays out.
