If you had any doubts about whether American midfielder DaMarcus Beasley was ready to return to the pitch after his knee injury last November, put them out of your head. Last weekend, Beasley and Rangers teammate Kris Boyd took care of all their side's scoring in a 3-2 win in the Scottish FA Cup Final over upstart Queen of the South. Beasley poached one goal, and his corner kick found Boyd for another. It's enough to make you wonder if a healthy Beasley could have helped Rangers win the UEFA Cup and the Scottish Premier League title, too.
Of course, there's a huge gap between Queen of the South and England, but still, seeing Beasley playing as well as he did in a Cup Final must be encouraging for USA manager Bob Bradley. Expect Beasley to see at least 60 minutes of action in the midfield when the U.S. men's national team takes on England in Wembley Stadium on Wednesday.
