U.S. midfielder Weston McKennie scored his first goal for Juventus in 693 days as he struck in their Champions League opener vs. PSV on Tuesday.

Tuesday’s game was a surprise start for the American as he had only featured in one of Juve’s previous four games, starting none of them.

In the 27th minute McKennie was poaching in front of the PSV goal and made no mistake when given the opportunity from close range.

Christian Pulisic had his best club season of his career with AC Milan in the previous campaign. A Pulisic goal vs Parma on Saturday during Milan’s 2-1 defeat showed that he looks poised for another fruitful year of goals.

Let’s start with the good news and Pulisic’s goal.

The USMNT forward equalized in the second half for Milan with one of the easier goals of his life. Rafael Leão did the hard work to get the ball deep into Parma’s box. Pulisic then made the right run at the right time to be wide open for a tap in.

We have good news and bad news United States men’s national team fans. The good news is that we have an amazing Tim Weah goal vs Como goal to watch. The bad news is that he scored the goal with a hamstring injury that will see him miss time.

Juventus opened their new campaign with a 3-0 victory against newly promoted Como 1907 on Monday. USMNT forward Weah was given the start at right wing. 

United States men’s national team and Leeds United forward Brenden Aaronson had himself a day in the EFL Championship opening weekend on Saturday. The American scored a 95th minute equalizer to draw Leeds level at 3-3 with Portsmouth.

Unfortunately for Aaronson he’ll likely remember the game more for the wasted opportunity to win the game that came moments later.

Aaronson was brought on as a substitute in the 72nd minute with the score tied at 2-2. It looked like the opening game would end in disaster for Leeds when Portsmouth scored in the 92nd minute to take the lead.

Christian Pulisic looks set for another terrific season in Italy as he impressed during his first start for AC Milan in the 2024-25 preseason. AC Milan drew Barcelona 2-2 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, on Tuesday with the American involved in both of his side’s goals.

This was Milan’s third and final preseason game of their USA tour having already faced Manchester City and Real Madrid. Pulisic was brought on as a substitute in both of those games.

Charlotte FC acquired U.S. men's national team defender Tim Ream from Premier League side Fulham FC.

Weston McKennie - Juventus

Juventus and U.S. forward Tim Weah has made headlines with his hands twice this summer. The latest edition was a Tim Weah handball during a Juventus friendly on Friday.

Juve lost 3-0 to 2. Bundesliga side FC Nürnberg in a friendly ahead of the 2024-25 season. The Italian club had 22 players feature in the match with the starting XI being completely changed at the half.

Weah was brought on for the second half and made an amazing diving save in the 81st minute. Perhaps goalkeeping is his true calling.
