Drama in the U.S. Soccer sphere wouldn’t be complete without former player and pundit Alexi Lalas chiming in to give his opinion. Lalas has responded to USWNT captain Lindsey Horan’s quote about American soccer fans not being smart.
Horan’s chief complaint with American soccer fans was when they only listen to what the U.S. pundits and commentators say and accept that as the truth.
Captain America will be in charge of the penalties at the San Siro.
It has been reported on Friday that Christian Pulisic has been chosen as the new official penalty taker for AC Milan by manager Stefano Pioli. The decision has reportedly been caused by the club’s inaccuracy from the spot in recent matches and, with Pioli eager to fix the situation, Pulisic has been chosen as the new man in charge of penalties.
Christian Pulisic couldn’t help but laugh and make a face when his fellow AC Milan and USMNT teammate Yunus Musah guessed that Landon Donovan was Pulisic’s soccer hero.
The humorous moment happened during a “Teammates” video with Soccer.com where the two players quizzed each other to see how well they know one another.

United States men’s national team talent Gio Reyna has been linked to several clubs across Europe as he seeks playing time away from Borussia Dortmund. There were many reports on where he could go but, in the end, a Gio Reyna Nottingham Forest loan is the outcome.
Reyna will be loaned to Forest until the end of the 2023-24 season, however the Premier League club won’t be given the option to permanently buy. Instead, the 21-year-old has signed a new contract with Dortmund that runs through 2026.
Gio Reyna Nottingham Forest loan
Nottingham Forest nearly secured a big point at home against Arsenal however a costly Matt Turner mistake at his near post saw the Gunners win 2-1 on Tuesday.
The latest Matt Turner mistake featured the United States men’s national team goalkeeper conceding a goal between his legs. Turner’s errors are cause for concern among the USMNT faithful.
In the 65th minute with the score tied 0-0 Gabriel Jesus was in on Forest’s goal but at a tight angle. What should have been a standard save instead turned into disaster for Turner as it went right through the wickets.
Gio Reyna has found himself a new suitor in the January transfer window. This might be the one.
It has been reported that Serie A club Fiorentina have joined the race to sign Giovanni Reyna on loan this winter — joining the likes of Marseille and Nottingham Forest as some of the clubs who’ve reportedly been interested in the American in the past few weeks.
Brandon Vázquez is off to an unbelievable start with new club Rayados and the striker just showed he’s worth what the Liga MX club paid for him this winter. He scored one of the best headers we’ve seen in a while.
USMNT striker Brandon Vázquez scored two for CF Monterrey in their Liga MX home match against Atlético San Luis this Saturday, becoming the league’s top goalscorer (3) after just two matches as a starter this season.
The Athletic’s Tom Bogert has shared one of the craziest transfer stories in a long time. Major League Soccer reportedly denied a $13 million transfer between FC Dallas and Russian club Spartak Moscow for USMNT striker Jesús Ferreira.
It’s been reported that the 23-year-old striker wanted the move to play in Russia’s capital and FC Dallas were prepared to accept the offer from Spartak Moscow.
Brandon Vázquez scored and made his Liga MX home debut with new club Monterrey in their league clash against Querétaro on Wednesday night.
The former FC Cincinnati man started his first game with Rayados at the Estadio BBVA after just his second game with the club. He made his official league debut off the bench last Sunday in their 2-0 win over Santos Laguna.
Fans that traveled to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, on Monday for a preseason fixture between Inter Miami and FC Dallas likely went to the game to see Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. The only goal they would see was from Jesús Ferreira assisted by Paul Arriola.
A night that was advertised with some of the world’s biggest names was beautifully stolen by two USMNT players. Incredible.
In the third minute of play Arriola and Ferreira silenced any Miami fans in attendance and gave the Dallas faithful a priceless moment.
