The USMNT World Cup kits should be revealed in the near future, but as of now Nike is making us Americans anxiously wait to see the final result. Several “leaks” have been put out on the internet, with each one only adding to dread.

A estas alturas de la vida todos sabemos que las posibilidades de que Javier Hernández represente a México en el Mundial de Catar son practicamente nulas, que Tata Martino no lo quiere en su escuadra. El memo, sin embargo, parece no haber llegado a la FIFA, que con un simple tuit volvió a echarle gasolina a las discusiones en torno a la ausencia de Chicharito en el Tri.
El 11 de agosto de 2012 es un día dorado en la historia del fútbol mexicano. Literalmente. En aquella jornada, el Tri conseguiría colgarse la medalla de oro en los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres, batiendo en la final a un Brasil que contaba con el talento de Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Hulk, Oscar y un tal Neymar.
Camino al título, el Tri enfrentó en la fase de grupos a Corea del Sur, el Gabón de Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang y Suiza. En los cuartos de final sufrió, pero en la prórroga se deshizo del Senegal de Sadio Mané por 4-2, mientras que en semis despachó a Japón por 3-1.
The World Cup in Qatar will kick off a day earlier than scheduled if FIFA's ruling bureau agrees to a plan to hold the opening ceremony and the host nation's first match on Sunday, Nov. 20, a source close to the discussions told Reuters.
The original plan was for the opening ceremony to be held before Qatar's game on Nov. 21 against Ecuador — which created the unusual situation of two matches being held before the ceremony.
Normally the ceremony is conducted before the kickoff of the first game of the tournament.
As a soccer writer with a heavy focus on U.S. Soccer and American players abroad you would think that I knew all the details about the biggest players. I thought that was the case until I learned that a Christian Pulisic Mike Wazowski tattoo exists.
The American and Chelsea No. 10 has a nice sleeve of tattoos on his left arm filled with clues of his past and interests. I never knew that in Nov. 2021 Pulisic added "Monsters Inc." character Mike Wazowski dribbling a Champions League ball to his arm.
Opening week of the 2022-23 season is in the books, and by the time next weekend's action gets under way we'll be less than 100 days from the start of the World Cup in Qatar. Every performance truly matters now.
USMNT manager Gregg Berhalter has built a solid core of players over the qualifying cycle that'll comprise a majority of the 26-player squad, but there are still fierce competitions raging and open places for players who go on a tear through the first couple months of the season.
Youngsters and World Cups are two things that have historically got along.
From Pele in 1958 to Mbappe in 2018, young players have taken the world by storm in this tournament.
Over the last couple of years, we've been introduced to insane talents that dazzled on the biggest stage.
Hence, we feel it is important to list and rank the best young players playing at this year's World Cup.
Real Madrid’s talisman.
Christian Pulisic is no stranger to pressure.
He put the USMNT on his back as a teenager during the failed 2018 qualifying cycle, played in and won a German Cup final at 18, took on the burden of a $70 million price tag at Chelsea, played in and won a Champions League final there and has continued to handle the strain of being the national team's game-changer in the final third with incredible consistency, like Landon Donovan before him but without the emergence of a Clint Dempsey to work with.
What started off as a semi-normal transfer war between Chelsea and Barcelona has gone viral. Fabrizio Romano tweeted out confirmation that Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella agreed to join Chelsea, but Brighton tweeted that the claim is completely false. So which one is it? Is Romano wrong for the first time ever, or is he so good at his job that he knows a transfer is happening before the club even does?
USMNT hopeful Jordan Pefok made his competitive debut for Union Berlin on Monday, scoring what will surely be one of the most memorable goals of the striker’s career. The Jordan Pefok goal, which came in the 64th minute of Union Berlin’s 2-0 DFB-Pokal victory, was taken excellently and will surely excite Union and USMNT fans alike.
