WASHINGTON (AP) " After a second exciting performance, U.S. soccer coach Jurgen Klinsmann says 21-year-old winger Julian Green is "back in the picture." Green scored his second goal in two matches, before Monty Patterson's equalizer forced the U.S. to settle for a 1-1 draw in an exhibition against New Zealand on Tuesday night. "We wanted to get some answers to a couple of things toward the Mexico clash a month from now," Klinsmann said. Green scored his third career goal for the U.S. in just his eighth appearance. After scoring the second goal against Cuba, Green put the U.S. ahead Tuesday in the 27th minute when he reached forward Jozy Altidore's knock-down header on the left flank.
