The appearances of Americans in Europe’s most prestigious club competition has become a norm in the past few decades. With players like Weston McKennie who has played in five straight editions of the competition and Christian Pulisic who won the tournament in 2021 with Chelsea, the UEFA Champions League has gotten accustomed to seeing the United States’ best.
The September international break has finished, and United States men’s national team fans are concerned about a storm potentially brewing between Gregg Berhalter and new star striker Folarin Balogun.
First signs of the Berhalter Balogun tension began when a rumor started that an unnamed USMNT player wasn’t pleased about the friendlies vs. Uzbekistan and Oman.
trouble in paradise a certain player on the usmnt flew back home upset with Greg’s system and how he was used and forced to play.
Footy Headlines has released a mockup of what the 2024 USMNT kit might look like and good God it’s worse than what we have now. Nike must get some sort of enjoyment off torturing U.S. Soccer fans.
The color scheme is rumored to be white on white and the guess is that the new kits will pay tribute to the 1924 Paris Olympics men’s soccer team that got the USMNT their first international win.
The United States men’s national team comfortably defeated Oman 4-0 Tuesday night at Allianz Field in Saint Paul, Minnesota, during an international friendly game.
USMNT fans will widely agree and say it was an alright performance from the team and a slight improvement from Saturday’s 3-0 win vs. Uzbekistan.
Let’s get into the highlights and takeaways.
UPDATE: Neymar did record an assist vs. Peru meaning that he has tied the record.
American fans were rather surprised this week to learn that United States men’s national team legend Landon Donovan holds the all-time international record for most assists with 58.
Listen, we knew he had quite a few assists for the USMNT, but we don’t think many people knew that he had more than any man in international soccer history.
In Gregg Berhalter’s grand return to the U.S. men’s national team we got to see his side struggle to get a victory against lowly Uzbekistan in front of a non-filled MLS stadium in St. Louis.
Despite the attractive 3-0 score line, this was one of the most awful USMNT games fans have seen in recent memory.
Christian Pulisic is widely regarded as the best American soccer player. We went through his career and picked the top 10 best Pulisic goals that have been scored.
In his young career he’s played for the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea and AC Milan. We looked at all the goals he’s scored with those clubs and the United States men’s national team to make this top 10 list.
The criteria for making the list is simple: how good was the goal?
Gregg Berhalter is back as head coach of the United States men’s national team and selected his 24-man roster for two September friendlies.
While the competition (Uzbekistan and Oman) won’t get fans all that excited, the 24 players that Berhalter selected will please most critics. In his return to the national team Berhalter pleasantly surprised USMNT supporters with a decent roster.

MilanTV commentator Mauro Suma is loving the arrival of Christian Pulisic to AC Milan more than anyone else. The Italian commentator has seen two Pulisic goals in two games and his reactions are the best.
Suma’s call of Pulisic’s goal vs. Torino from Saturday is about as good as it gets. The USMNT star opened the scoring in the 33rd minute to give Milan a 1-0 lead and this was Suma’s response on air.
