Three Up, Three Down: Callender's heroics, Messi's two assists lead Inter Miami to crucial 3-1 win at LAFC

After each match, Inter Heron shares its thoughts on the Herons' three most impactful and three least or most negatively impactful players in pink.

Three Up

Drake Callender, A-


What a great way to head to his second international camp! Callender saved five shots and consistently defended not only the net but his box, decisively charging out of goal to intercept or bat away passes to open runners. Callender and midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi will report to the U.S. Men's National Team, Cremaschi for the first time, for matches Saturday against Uzbekistan in St. Louis and Tuesday, Sept. 12, vs. Oman in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Americans are just two of nine Herons called to international duty.
