Andrew Boyens' World Cup dream is this much closer to becoming reality. The Metro defender, who hasn't played a minuted in the league this year, was named to the New Zealand World Cup squad. Congratulations, Andrew!

Boyens becomes just the fifth current Metro to make a World Cup team, joining Americans Tab Ramos (1998), Alexi Lalas (1998), and Clint Mathis (2002), as well as Chilean Marcelo Vega (1998).
