USMNT Striker Bobby Wood’s Bundesliga Debut Outlines Enormous Potential

Bobby Wood’s play hasn’t been dissected to the level with which we’ve examined Gyasi Zardes. Wood, at 23, doesn’t come with the ‘phenom’ label that’s attached to Jordan Morris.

Keeper Oliver Kahn Reveals The Wonder Goal That He Still Hasn’t Recovered From

Oliver Kahn collected 86 appearances for Germany and 429 for Bayern Munich. Twice he finished third in Ballon d’Or voting — a sensational achievement for a goalkeeper. So, when Kahn reveals what the greatest goal ever scored on him was, we should all be paying attention.
