One of U.S. soccer’s greatest strikers is hanging up her boots to join the coaching ranks. Amy Rodriguez, who won at every level, retired from the NWSL on Friday to join her alma mater, USC, as an assistant coach.
A-Rod, as the 34-year-old is affectionately known, won an NCAA title with USC, two Olympic gold medals and the 2015 Women’s World Cup. She led FC Kansas City to back-to-back NWSL titles, scoring 64 goals in 160 matches in her professional career.
For United States men’s national team fans asking the question "is John Brooks playing for the USA?” the answer is no at the moment, and it could be that way for the future.
The 28-year-old was left off head coach Gregg Berhalter’s USMNT roster for a second straight World Cup qualifying window and won't play in games against El Salvador, Canada and Honduras. Brooks is experiencing a rough patch in his career, hasn’t found recent success with the national team and could be looking at a summer transfer after issues with Wolfsburg.
Two years into the COVID pandemic, it's safe to say we've all experienced at least one Zoom mishap. Just a couple days ago, for example, my three-year-old daughter yelled "yeah!" after an idea I shared with my colleagues at The18. It wasn't a great idea, but the "yeah!" brought some laughs and a consolation comment from my boss: "At least someone liked it."
The USMNT will begin its next World Cup qualifying campaign window with a home game against El Salvador in Columbus, Ohio, at 7 p.m. ET. The 28-man roster was announced on Jan. 21; now the starting USMNT lineup needs to be decided.

Cayó la primera cabeza del Clausura 2022. Después de apenas tres jornadas, el Atlético de San Luis informó que el uruguayo Marcelo Méndez dejó de ser el técnico del equipo.
Los potosinos tuvieron un mercado de pases bastante decente con las incorporaciones de los experimentados Abel Hernández y Rubens Sambueza, así como la del seleccionado venezolano Jhon Murillo. Sin embargo, en el campo de juego el equipo aún no era capaz de hacer clic. De hecho, había perdido sus tres encuentros.
Monday night was awful for Club América Femenil. The team lost in eloquent fashion against Monterrey, the current champion of Liga MX, and its coach Craig Harrington created a PR nightmare after seeing a red card for insulting opposing players.
When Cheltenham Town hosted Manchester City in the FA Cup Fourth Round in January 2021, victory was all but assured for the Premier League club.
The Robins — who would go on to win League Two that year — were no match for a Man City side that sat atop the English football pyramid. Yet early in the second half, the match at the Jonny-Rocks Stadium was still scoreless.
Ricardo Pepi got his second start for Augsburg on Saturday as the struggling Bundesliga side tried to keep up with the superior Bayer Leverkusen.
The young American is no stranger to a struggling team as FC Dallas lost 15 of its 34 games last season, but Pepi also hasn’t had to deal with a relegation battle. Saturday wasn’t an ideal second start for the club as Leverkusen thoroughly thumped the underdogs 5-1 and Pepi was taken off in the 57th minute.
Here’s the Pepi report as I tracked every move and involvement the striker had.
