Current USMNT U-20 Squad Could Be Best Ever, But We Might Never Know

The U-20 USMNT had one of its best showings ever at the 2007 U-20 World Cup. 

Led by Michael Bradley, Jozy Altidore and Freddy Adu, the team beat a Brazil loaded with Marcelo, David Luiz, Willian, Renato Agusto and Alexandre Pato to win Group D. The Americans then reached the quarterfinals with a 2-1 win over Uruguay, despite a goal from Luis Suarez. The U.S. eventually lost to Austria in extra time to miss out on reaching the semifinals for the second time ever, but then again the U.S. has never won more than one knockout-round match at a U-20 World Cup.

Major League Soccer Is Country Music And That’s OK

Everyone wants to be a rock star. 

We want to be Elvis, Prince, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page, Rami Malek, Mick Jagger, Ozzy Osbourne, James Hetfield or, fuck it, even Adam Levine's nipples. 

No one really wants to be a country music star.

But someone’s gotta do it. 

Reviewing The Careers Of The Youngest Pro Athletes In American Sports

Earlier this week, 13-year-old Olivia Moultire made headlines when turning pro by signing an endorsement deal with Nike and a representation agreement with Wasserman Media Group. This is an unprecedented move in the women’s game — and really a rarity in all of sport given how young she is — but it’s certainly not without parallels on the men’s side. 

USWNT Squanders Two Leads In Disappointing 2-2 Draw Against Japan

The USWNT wants to peak this summer at the 2019 Women’s World Cup. The three-time Women’s World Cup champions certainly aren’t peaking right now.

The U.S. opened the SheBelieves Cup with a 2-2 draw with Japan, twice squandering leads and showing an inability to close out a tight match on Wednesday in Philadelphia.

Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan both found the back of the net, but their goals were countered by a pair from Emi Nakajima and Yuka Momiki, the latter of which came in the 91st minute. 

FOX, Telemundo Turning To Trailblazing Women To Lead Women’s World Cup TV Coverage

U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro sent a letter to the heads of each of the 10 South American football associations on Tuesday, inviting them to join Concacaf for a quadrennial international competition in the United States, the New York Times reported.

13-Year-Old Olivia Moultrie Rewriting The Script For Women's Soccer By Turning Pro

In American men’s soccer, the path to turning pro has never been clearer. The MLS SuperDraft, the general means for college players to enter the league, has always been somewhat irrelevant, but now it’s by and large obsolete. Talent is coming through the league's Development Academies, where players are working year-round on the quest to becoming world-class, not unlike professionals themselves.

Tyler Adams Enters Match With Leipzig Trailing, Gets Involved In Late Equalizer

Tyler Adams has started four matches for RB Leipzig following his January move, and the Bundesliga side has won all four of those games.
