Sydney Leroux’s Instagram page is a marvel. Posts typically come in three types: showing off her adorable kids, trying to sell you something and, my personal favorite, her being a badass.
We’ll file this latest post under that final category.
After six weeks out with a knee injury that forced him to miss the USMNT's last window of World Cup qualifying, Brenden Aaronson returned to the pitch with RB Salzburg on Sunday and converted a penalty while his club secured a ninth straight Austrian Bundesliga title with four matches remaining.
Aaronson hadn't played since going the distance in Salzburg's Austrian Cup semifinal win over Wolfsberger on March 16, but he returned to the starting lineup against Austria Wien and lasted 64 minutes.

Back in November, Rory Dames tried to quietly exit the NWSL with a press release hours before a Washington Post story outlined years of his alleged abuse of players while he coached the Chicago Red Stars. The allegations came from NWSL stars like Christen Press, one of the most recognizable players in league history.
LIVERPOOL, England — Everton eased some of the pressure on manager Rafa Benitez as they ground out a comeback 2-1 home win over Arsenal in the Premier League on Monday, with Demarai Gray netting a stunning stoppage-time winner after setting up the equaliser.
Brazilian forward Richarlison, who had two goals scrapped for marginal offsides after VAR checks, had levelled in the 79th minute after Gray hit the crossbar, cancelling out Martin Odegaard's first-half opener for the visitors.
Fue en un torneo amistoso, fue en categoría Sub-20, pero al final del día fue una victoria en un fin de semana gris. México venció a Brasil por 2-1 en la Revelations Cup y lavó un poquito las heridas que dejó entre los aficionados la derrota de la selección adulta ante Estados Unidos.
En plan optimista, además, el partido sirvió para tener una dosis de ilusión en torno al futuro, si es que ese futuro alguna vez llega.
Pocas cosas deben molestar más a un entrenador que perder un partido en el último minuto de juego, por un irresponsable e imprudente penal de uno de sus defensas.
De hecho, no me cuesta imaginar el coraje que debió sentir Santiago Solari luego de ver a Emanuel Aguilera barriéndose sin cuidado sobre el tobillo de Orbelín Pineda y generando el penal que daría el triunfo a Cruz Azul durante el Clásico Joven de este domingo, cuando apenas faltaban centavos para el final del partido.
Since losing Cristiano Ronaldo in the offseason, Juventus has struggled to replace the Portuguese star’s impressive goal haul. Ronaldo had an incredible ability to leap for headed goals in his three seasons with the Bianconeri. But this Weston McKennie goal vs Sassuolo showed the Old Lady still has a pretty good option when lobbing balls into the box. Unfortunately for the American, the rest of his team wasn’t up to his level on Wednesday.
Back on Sept. 29, Michigan high school Benzie Central defeated Kingsley 17-0 in a match that was declared over at halftime. If that wasn’t sensational enough, how about this: 16 of the goals were scored by one player, making Kevin Hubbell the new national record holder in men's high school soccer.
The fact that the record was achieved by halftime has caused a national stir.
The U.S. men's national team defeated Mexico in a highly contested match on Sunday to win the CONCACAF Nations League, marking the country’s first competitive victory over its rivals since September 10th, 2013.
The fruitless streak continued so long that I personally graduated middle school, high school and was just one year away from graduating college before the U.S. was victorious again. Christian Pulisic, the American captain who scored the go-ahead goal, was just 14 years old when the U.S. last claimed victory.
