Germany’s 2-0 Round of 16 victory vs. Denmark experienced a delay in the first half due to some of the craziest severe weather we’ve seen at a professional soccer game.

Around the 34th minute the game was temporarily suspended due to lightning near the stadium in Dortmund. The players hovered around the field for several minutes before retreating to the locker room.

The suspension lasted around 25 minutes as intense lightning strikes lit up the sky, hail came down and waterfalls appeared in the stadium. Craziness.

The U.S men’s national team could have a better chance of beating Uruguay on Monday than most people believe… at least that’s what sports books say.

The USMNT will go into the last match day of the 2024 Copa América looking to get a huge win against none other than Uruguay — one of the tournament’s top contenders and best in-form national teams so far in the group stage.

BERLIN — A pair of superb strikes from Remo Freuler and Ruben Vargas for Switzerland sent defending champions Italy crashing out of the European soccer championship in the round of 16 after a sloppy, rudderless display by Luciano Spalletti's side.

If the USMNT fail to get out of the Copa America group stage, on home soil, is Gregg Berhalter's job at risk?

"That's not for me to determine," says the manager himself.

The U.S. men’s national team is ready to take on the Summer Olympics once again after a 16-year hiatus… though apparently without getting paid.

According to Brian Sciaretta, the United States’ mens soccer team will not be compensated for their participation in this summer’s 2024 Paris Olympics. The USWNT, on the other hand, will.
