Lionel Messi’s trusted bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, has revealed that Inter Miami have banned him from walking along the sidelines during the club's matches.

In an interview with House of Highlights, Cheuko opened up about the challenges he has faced since moving to the U.S. and the impact the ban has on his ability to protect Messi during games.

The top-ranked United States women's national soccer team will face long-time rivals Canada in Washington, D.C. for the Continental Clasico on July 2.

The Olympic champions have played Canada more than any other opponents and beat them in a penalty shootout in both of their previous two meetings last year, the CONCACAF W Gold Cup semi-final and the SheBelieves Cup championship match.

The meeting, the 67th between the two teams, will close out a three-match window for the United States, who are also playing Ireland in a pair of friendlies in late June.

CBS Sports analyst and former American soccer player, Mike Grella, has called out Christian Pulisic for not being more 'selfish' when it came to taking AC Milan's penalty kick during their tough 2-1 loss to Napoli on Sunday.

The match, which saw the Rossoneri drop to ninth in Serie A, featured a controversial moment when Pulisic (perhaps the club's most efficient penalty taker) handed the ball to Santiago Gimenez, who ultimately missed the spot kick.

A brilliant Lionel Messi goal vs Philadelphia Union helped Inter Miami secure a 2-1 victory and showed that the Argentine’s influence on the field is immense.

Messi, who is recovering from muscle soreness, was substituted into the game at the 55 minute mark with his side leading 1-0. He only needed two minutes to double the lead.

A pair of embarrassing losses... thankfully in front of no one.

The U.S. men's national team faced an off-the-pitch challenge during their Concacaf Nations League Final Four matches held at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Despite being one of the premier events on the region’s soccer calendar, the USMNT’s matches (and losses) against Panama and Canada were played in front of sparse crowds, with only a few thousand in attendance for both games.

A fantastic Korbin Albert goal vs Guingamp early in the second half of PSG’s 6-2 league victory on Friday was another highlight reel moment for the American midfielder.

Albert did brilliantly to sit down a defender before unleashing a powerful shot with the goalkeeper having no chance.

United States men’s national team fans were furious with their team after a shock 1-0 defeat to Panama in the Concacaf Nations League semifinal on Thursday. Perhaps some of the angriest voices came from former players of the team.

USMNT players from the past were incredibly vocal about their disappointment in the current squad and the mentality of the team.

Panama stunned the United States men’s national team on Thursday with a late goal to secure a 1-0 victory in the Concacaf Nations League semifinal. The celebrations after the goal with CBS pundit Thierry Henry were hilarious.

Panama striker Cecilio Waterman gave his side an iconic moment in the 94th minute when his low strike proved to be the winning goal. Waterman, who came on as a sub in the 70th minute, jumped the advertisement board and ran straight to French legend Henry.
