A euphoric 6-2 comeback victory, topped off by an incredible Messi brace, turned out enough for the men led by Gerardo Martino to attain the record, coincidentally breaking the mark set by the Revolution during the 2021 season.

BOURNEMOUTH — A brilliantly-worked goal by Ryan Christie and a Justin Kluivert penalty gave Bournemouth a shock 2-0 Premier League win at home to 10-man Arsenal on Saturday, with Gunners defender William Saliba shown a straight red card in the first half.

Making only his second international appearance since recovering from an injury sustained at the Copa America in July, Messi capitalized on a mistake by defender Marcelo Suarez to open the scoring in the 19th minute.

Jiménez is having an outstanding start to the 2024/25 Premier League season and the Mexican striker has translated his good form to the national team. And what a way to do it.

LONDON — Greece beat England for the first time as striker Vangelis Pavlidis earned the visitors a richly-deserved 2-1 victory to put them in control of Nations League Group B2 at Wembley on Thursday.

While Pavlidis's winner in the fourth minute of stoppage time sparked wild celebrations among the Greek fans, England stand-in manager Lee Carsley got a sobering reality check.

Two victories since Gareth Southgate stood down had raised Carsley's stock as a likely full-time option, but after a ragged defeat at the hands of Greece, his hopes may have dwindled.

U.S. men’s national team star, Christian Pulisic, is off to an amazing start to the European campaign, scoring once again for AC Milan in the Serie A.
