Although the U.S. national team fell 2-1 Friday night in their World Cup qualifying match against Jamaica, Houston Dynamo players had a successful weekend with their respective national teams, going 3-0-0.

Dynamo defender Jermaine Taylor and midfielder Je-Vaughn Watson started and played 90 minutes in the Reggae Boyz' 2-1 win over the United States. Taylor was strong along the Jamaican backline, helping stifle the U.S. attack after the home side gave up the early goal.
