context_page_description: Bradley Ray Evans is an American retired professional soccer player who played as a midfielder.
  Born in Phoenix, Evans was drafted out of University of California, Irvine in the second round of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft by the Columbus Crew, where he stayed for two seasons before being selected in the Expansion Draft by the Sounders in 2008. He won "Player of the Week" honors in October 2012 for a two-goal performance against FC Dallas. Evans has appeared five times for the under-20 national team in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship, and 27 times for the senior national team, including the 2009 Gold Cup.
context_section_description: Evans was a member of the U-20 national team that competed at the 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup under Sigi Schmid, being used as a substitute in a 0–0 draw with Germany and starting at right back in a 1–0 win over Egypt in Group D. He was an unused substitute during the 3–1 Round of 16 loss to Italy weeks later. Evans was called up to the senior team for the 2009 Gold Cup, which had an opening group match at Qwest Field in Seattle. He entered the 4–0 win over Grenada on July 4 in the 63rd minute and received an immediate yellow card for coming on too early, and Evans did not play in a 2–0 win over Honduras, but played in a 2–2 draw with Haiti. Evans played in the knockout stages, coming on in the 110th minute during a 2–1 quarterfinal win over Panama on July 18. He was an unused substitute in the 2–0 semifinal win over Honduras on July 23 and the 5–0 loss to Mexico in the Gold Cup final on July 26.
  Evans appeared in a 2–1 friendly win against El Salvador in February 2010, and did not play in 2011. He was a second-half substitute in 1–0 friendly wins over Venezuela in his hometown of Phoenix, Arizona and Panama in January 2012. Evans was named to the January 2013 training camp for the national team and played in a 0–0 friendly against Canada at BBVA Compass Stadium. He was later called to play during 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification, being an unused substitute in a loss to Honduras. United States coach Jürgen Klinsmann added Evans to his camp roster for May and June, where he used the Sounders midfielder as a late-game substitute in a loss to Belgium and let Evans start against Germany during the centennial celebrations for the United States Soccer Federation, a 4–3 win in Washington, D.C. Klinsmann started Evans during a friendly against Germany and a qualification match against Jamaica as a right back instead of his usual midfield positions, which proved beneficial as he scored his first international goal in the latter match, a 2–1 win for the United States in stoppage time.
