The Young American Gets An Assist During Indoor Soccer Debut
Back on Jan. 23, it was revealed that Landon Donovan would again come out retirement to play professional soccer, this time for the San Diego Sockers of the Major Arena Soccer League. The 36-year-old will make $250,000 during his stay, and fans got their first look at the American legend on Friday.
Jürgen Klinsmann Received $3.35M Settlement From USSF; Maybe We’ll See Him In MLS Next
Jürgen Klinsmann has been out of the management game for well over two years now, and there are a variety of reasons for that. Most obviously, the 2006 German Football Manager of the Year is utilizing the old “Absence makes the heart grow fonder” technique.
He’s Just 18, But Tim Weah Isn’t Taking Any Crap Up In Scotland
With Rangers drawing 0-0 with St. Johnstone on Saturday, Celtic took to the pitch Sunday knowing that a victory over Kilmarnock would open up an eight-point gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership with only seven matches remaining before the league splits into two sections for the final five games.
Accordingly, it was a furious game at Kilmarnock’s Rugby Park which saw two players sent off. First, Kilmarnock’s Kirk Broadfoot was sent off in the 75th minute for a late challenge on Scott Brown.
Tyler Adams’ First Bundesliga Assist Shows Exactly Why He’s The Future Of The USMNT Midfield
Tyler Adams is one of those unfortunate souls to have been born on a holiday. He celebrated his 20th birthday on Thursday, Valentine’s Day, perhaps with his German-but-not-really-German girlfriend the Leipzig press is way too interested in.
Though he just turned 20, he’s quickly become an integral part of the Bundesliga’s fourth-placed team. On Saturday, he played the full 90 minutes in midfield for the fourth time since joining the club in January.
U.S. Soccer Focusing On The Right Things, Makes The One Change I’ve Always Wanted
This is the beginning of a new era for U.S. Soccer.
On Tuesday, the USSF made the change we’ve all been waiting for. No, I’m not talking abolishing pay-to-play, revamping the development academies or giving the men and women equal pay. I’m talking about something far more important.
Finally, the world makes sense.
Finally, U.S. Soccer has seen the light.
Finally, the USWNT and USMNT Twitter handles are what they should be.
Wisconsin Boy Scores His Fifth Of The Eredivisie Season
At this point I have to ask: Why is Wisconsin such a hotbed for American soccer overachievers? Jay DeMerit, the man from Green Bay, showed us all how it could be done, and now we have Andrija Novakovich, from Muskego, chalking up goals in the Dutch Eredivisie.
I’m not mad, I just think it’s sad that Wisconsin is leading the way — this shouldn’t be their burden to bear.

Weston McKennie’s Beautiful Assist Lost In Bayern’s Onslaught Of Schalke
After Borussia Dortmund blew a three-goal lead to draw with Hoffenheim earlier in the day, Christian Pulisic was probably hoping to get some help from his USMNT teammate Weston McKennie vs Bayern Munich in the late Bundesliga match on Saturday.
The Schalke midfielder had one great moment that had Dortmund and Schalke fans both thinking the Royal Blues could slow down Bayern. But it wasn’t nearly enough as the home side dominated the rest of the match on the way to a 3-1 victory at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Where Soccer Ranks In The Most Attended U.S. Sporting Events
In his pre-Super Bowl interview with CBS this past week, Donald Trump said he would prefer his 12-year-old son Barron to not play American football, despite the NFL and college football’s status as a leader in highest sports attendance in the United States.
It’s too dangerous, the U.S. president said, referring to the concussion rate as well as the prevalence of other types of injuries.
Instead, Trump said he’s happy with Barron continuing to play soccer (he’s currently on a D.C. United youth team).
Substitute Timothy Weah Registers Goal And Assist To Help Celtic Win Late
Timothy Weah notched his third goal in five appearances for Celtic on Sunday after coming on as a late substitute against St. Johnstone and turning the game on its head. The 18-year-old American has only played a total of 142 minutes for the Scottish giants, but, on average, it’s taking him only 47 minutes per goal. The teenager has probably forced himself into Brendan Rodgers’ starting 11 after today’s display.
