Darlington Nagbe deja caer una asistencia tan disparatada que la gente ha cuestionado su intención
Los Portland Timbers lograron tres victorias en tres partidos para comenzar su temporada de la MLS 2017, y Darlington Nagbe coronó una magnífica semana con una asistencia tan buena que la primera impresión que se tiene es la de dudar de su intención.

Bruce Arena Blends Experience, Youth In USMNT World Cup Qualifying Squad
USMNT manager Bruce Arena has announced his 24-man squad for vital World Cup qualifiers against Honduras and Panama at the end of March. This represented the first opportunity for Arena to include European-based talent, but it’s clear that he’s also given a fair shake to the MLS players that impressed during January camp.

Hamburger SV claimed a vital three points in their fight to maintain their position as the only German club to have never been relegated from the top division. The catalyst for Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Gladbach was American striker Bobby Wood.

USMNT manager Bruce Arena will have been pleased with the opening weekend of MLS play: Clint Dempsey returned from his irregular heartbeat scare to go 90 minutes and score a goal, Kellyn Acosta scored for FC Dallas, Ethan Finlay did the same for Columbus, Matt Besler and Graham Zusi were strong in defense for Kansas City and with Tim Howard only just returning t
US Soccer Amends Rules To Require Standing During The National Anthem

Clint Dempsey Scores In His Seattle Sounders Return After Six Months Out
The result wasn’t what Clint Dempsey and the defending MLS Cup champions wanted, a 2-1 defeat to Houston Dynamo to start their 2017 season, but the USMNT player and his club will be delighted that he was able to play 90 minutes and score a goal after six months out with an irregular heartbeat.
