Major League Soccer announced Wednesday that its 2021 All-Star Game will feature the MLS All-Stars against the Liga MX All-Stars on Aug. 25 in Los Angeles.
The match, slated for Banc of California Stadium, will mark the first time the MLS and Liga MX All-Stars have squared off in the All-Star Game format.
Los Angeles FC coach Bob Bradley will coach the MLS team against the Mexico top-division stars.
Watching the USMNT vs. Costa Rica finish 4-0 had me tingling with excitement as if it was Christmas morning and I was nine again. This team is damn fun to watch.
Three days after defeating Mexico to lift the Concacaf Nations League trophy, the USMNT traveled to Utah for a friendly against Costa Rica. The starting squad against Costa Rica only featured two players that started against Mexico. Mark McKenzie and Tim Ream were the only two returners.
Daryl Dike has arrived. Well to be fair he arrived at Barnsley a long time ago, but this Daryl Dike goal vs Costa Rica means that the man from Oklahoma has his first USMNT goal.

The first round of Concacaf World Cup qualifying is in the books. In March a total of 30 nations —29 if you account for Saint Lucia withdrawing — battled for six precious spots. On Tuesday, the final qualifying games were played as six nations punched their tickets for round two of Concacaf World Cup qualifying.
If you need a refresher on Concacaf’s World Cup qualifying format, then I recommend the video below. The dates aren’t accurate — you can thank Covid for that — but the format remains the same.
If you’re a fan of a Bundesliga club without a retractable pitch that transforms your ground into an NFL stadium, it’s time to worry. On Wednesday, the NFL announced that it was looking for a partner city for regular-season games in Germany.
The National Women’s Soccer League announced plans on Tuesday for San Diego to become home to the league’s 12th expansion team. The new SoCal club is set to begin play in Spring of 2022.

The U.S. men's national team defeated Mexico in a highly contested match on Sunday to win the CONCACAF Nations League, marking the country’s first competitive victory over its rivals since September 10th, 2013.
The fruitless streak continued so long that I personally graduated middle school, high school and was just one year away from graduating college before the U.S. was victorious again. Christian Pulisic, the American captain who scored the go-ahead goal, was just 14 years old when the U.S. last claimed victory.
A fan who threw an object on to the field and injured United States men's soccer player Giovanni Reyna has been arrested and banned for life from Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, the scene of Sunday's CONCACAF Nations League final between the U.S. and Mexico.
Stadium Management Co., which operates the venue, made the announcement Monday night. The U.S. won Sunday's game 3-2 in extra time.
If there's one takeaway from last night's CONCACAF Nations League final, it's that the USMNT vs. Mexico rivalry is alive and well.
The first competitive match between the North American rivals since the 2019 Gold Cup Final had everything: late equalizers, abundant yellow cards, penalties, missed penalties, VAR controversy, on-field scuffles and inexplicably long periods of injury.
The past weekend was about as good as it gets for USMNT fans. The result top of mind will be the exhilarating, tumultuous triumph against Mexico in the Concacaf Nations League final. But there was another interesting result that happened in the Caribbean that American fans might have missed.
Trinidad and Tobago has been eliminated from World Cup contention.
