American Players Abroad

It’s that wonderful time of year when clubs are playing preseason games against obscure teams on channels you never knew existed. Tracking down the highlights isn't always easy, but we have the clips of USMNT players scoring goals on Saturday.

Paxten and Brenden Aaronson both scored for their teams with the younger brother netting four goals.

Eintracht Frankfurt faced FSV Braunfels who play in the sixth tier of Germany. The final score was quite lopsided with Frankfurt winning 15-1.

19-year-old U.S. phenom Paxten Aaronson had a field day. Here were his goals.

The folks over at AC Milan have been doing a great job providing American fans with videos of Christian Pulisic’s first week with the club. On Friday we got to see over five minutes of a Pulisic AC Milan training video.

One of the club’s camera people played the role of ‘Puli cam’ and only filmed the USMNT star during Milan’s training. During the five-minute video we got to see Pulisic laughing during some sort of relay drill where he had to pick a correct cone and some of his skill moves.

Christian Pulisic made his roughly $24 million move from Chelsea to AC Milan official on Wednesday signing a four-year contract with the Rossoneri. With his transfer complete we felt it was appropriate to look at a potential AC Milan starting XI 2023-24 lineup.

Milan manager Stefano Pioli has said that he has a different plan than Chelsea as to where Pulisic will play. Pioli plans to use the American star in the No. 10 role as an attacking midfielder rather than on the wings.

Christian Pulisic's days of misery at Chelsea are over. The USMNT talisman will join AC Milan on a permanent deal in the next few days. 

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news on Twitter.

Juventus have signed American winger Timothy Weah from Ligue 1 side Lille for an initial fee of $11.2 million, the Serie A club said on Saturday.

Juve said the fee can increase by a total of 3.1 million euros in bonuses based on sporting goals met as the club looks to replace the long-serving Colombian Juan Cuadrado, who left at the end of his contract.

Serie A, the Italian top flight, looks likely to become a popular destination for United States men’s national team players seeking summer transfers.

Timothy Weah has already completed his move from French club Lille to Juventus. Several other Americans could follow.

I'll be honest, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about how we don't have promotion/relegation in the United States. I guess I've become numb to the discussion since it seems like it's never happening. But it's days like Sunday, with Everton, Leicester and Leeds dancing with the devil for the safety of 17th-place, when it's just unfathomable that we don't get to enjoy this spectacle stateside.

Luton Town are headed to the Premier League for the first time in the club’s history after the team, along with U.S. goalkeeper Ethan Horvath, defeated Coventry City 1-1 (6-5 on penalties) in the EFL Championship Play-offs final on Saturday.

Luton have done the unthinkable and have been promoted from Non-League football (outside the top four tiers) to the Premier League. Luton last played in the first division of England back in 1992 before it was rebranded as the Premier League.
