After two years away, USMNT return worth the wait for Union's Fafa Picault

TAMPA, Fla. — In the midst of a stellar season as the resurgent Philadelphia Union’s leading scorer, winger Fafa Picault has earned his first call-up to the U.S. national team in more than two years.

Picault made his senior international debut in a friendly against Puerto Rico in May of 2016, but it’s been a long wait for that second call.

In the time since, Picault left the German second division in favor of a chance in MLS with Philly. The 27-year-old winger scored seven goals for the Union last year, and has built upon that with 10 goals and five assists in 27 MLS appearances this season to help his team surpass 50 points for the first time in club history.

He scored twice and added an assist in the Union’s 5-1 win over Minnesota United FC on Saturday before joining up with the national team as an injury replacement for Christian Pulisic.

“It’s been a good season with Philadelphia,” Picault said Wednesday morning. “Last year I had a good season and I’ve just been trying to build off of that with more confidence and more freedom. Now getting the chance to do that at the international level, I want to show what I can do here as well.”

Born in New York City to Haitian-born parents, Picault could have represented Haiti at the international level, but played for U.S. youth national teams growing up and says he felt an allegiance to the United States.

That commitment never wavered, even as he waited more than two years for a second chance with the senior national team.

“I’ve always been one to say, ‘Just do your job and good things will come,’ he said. “Some people have to wait longer than others. I was part of the U-20 national team and I’ve always felt my allegiance was here.

“I was born and raised here. My parents were born in Haiti but raised in the United States. My father served in the Marines. I felt an allegiance to the United States and I was willing to wait however long it took. It’s come again, but it took two years, so I just want to make the most of the opportunity to show what I can do.”

USMNT head coach Dave Sarachan credited Picault’s consistency this year as the reason he’s in camp right now.

“He’s had a good season with Philadelphia and that’s one of the reasons we brought him in,” Sarachan said. “He offers some things that we haven’t seen lately in our group in terms of pure speed and having a dynamic presence. Now that we’ve been in it for a couple days and he’s been settling in, I think he feels comfortable. It’s not his first time in, but it’s his first time in quite some time. He just gives you good pace and speed is something you can never have enough of. I’m curious now to see him in this environment and, so far, he’s not out of place at all.”

Picault is an electric presence on the wings, with an impressive motor and speed to burn despite his small stature.

“For people that maybe haven’t watched me play a lot, I bring speed, dribbling and being dangerous in the final third,” he said. “I like space. I like getting behind defenders and I like scoring goals and creating for other guys. It’s my job to work hard offensively and also help out in the defensive half when I can.”

If Picault performs well with the national team, he should return to the Union with a fresh boost of confidence for the final few weeks of the regular season and the playoffs beyond. Philadelphia currently sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, with an Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs berth already secured.

WASHINGTON — After the Philadelphia Union’s record-tying fourth consecutive league win and fifth in all competitions, there remains plenty of work to ahead to wrap up a playoff spot and a potential U.S. Open Cup title.

They do believe, however, that they’ve proven a point following Wednesday’s 2-0 midweek win over D.C. United.

“We’ve proved to people that we don’t suck,” said winger Fafa Picault, who scored the second goal for a Union side that became more dominant as an oppressive evening wore on. “Everybody thought we sucked. So now that it’s obvious we don’t, we’re doing better. We’re moving up the table. We’re not focused on the teams that are below us. We’re trying to reach as high as we can.”

CJ Sapong also scored before halftime for Philadelphia (12-11-3, 39 points), which moved to within a point of Columbus Crew SC for the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference and the right to host a home playoff match.

After beginning the season with two wins in nine games, they’re also 10 points to the good side of the playoff line, and leave D.C. having dealt a serious blow to United’s postseason hopes.

“I could talk about a lot of different things, but I do have to say, I love my players right now,” said Union head coach Jim Curtin. “I love each and every one of them. The effort that they’re given. There’s something special going on with this group. Player one through 30 has been pushing things along the right way.”

United (7-11-6, 27 points) were shut out and defeated for a second time in four days, while again missing a chance to slide into seventh place in the East and within three points of sixth-place Montreal.

“We concede the first goal, it’s going to be a long night,” said D.C. coach Ben Olsen, whose squad had the better of the early play before Sapong’s opener. “Because now you have to chase the game. And coming off two days rest … .

“You saw it in the second half. We were cooked.”

Philadelphia became the second away side to win at Audi Field in seven matches. And unlike the Red Bulls’ 1-0 triumph on July 25, they looked squarely in control after halftime. By the end, the Union 13-9 in shots and 7-3 in efforts on target, and edged possession with 53 percent of it.

“We’ve known we’ve always had more to give throughout the season,” Sapong said. “We felt like the ball just didn’t roll our way. And now we’re at the point where things have been clicking to the point where we innately know that we’re going to get on the field and we’re going to be fitter and we’re going to be able to keep the ball against teams, that confidence before the game even starts definitely translated into the game.”
