Los Angeles is no longer a host city for the 2026 World Cup due to an ongoing dispute between FIFA and the owners of SoFi Stadium, ESPN reported.

The home of the NFL's Rams and Chargers was originally thought to be one of three contenders to host the World Cup final, along with MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, N.J.) and AT&T Stadium (Arlington, Texas).

Previous reports indicated that Stan Kroenke, owner of SoFi Stadium and the Rams, is unhappy with the proposed financial split between FIFA, the city and the stadium.

Balogun scored his third goal for the USMNT Tuesday night and it's undoubtedly his best one.

Watch: Folarin Balogun insane goal vs. Ghana

The USMNT’s 4-0 victory over Ghana in their latest friendly from October’s international break was a great showing from Gregg Berhalter’s men, especially in the first half.

Gio Reyna was the star on Tuesday for the United States men’s national team as he bagged two goals during the 4-0 victory against Ghana. 

The friendly win was a great response to the USMNT’s disappointing 3-1 defeat vs. Germany on Sunday.

Reyna has hardly seen the field for his club side Borussia Dortmund this season but had two quality 45-minute cameos for the U.S. in the October international window.

TORONTO — Michael Bradley, one of the most capped players in the history of the U.S. men's team and an all-time great for Toronto FC, will retire as a professional after the 2023 Major League Soccer (MLS) season, the club said on Tuesday.

Bradley joined Toronto in 2014 and the long-time captain was a key player in the club's treble-winning season in 2017 when the Reds captured the MLS Cup, Supporters' Shield, and Canadian Championship.

Christian Pulisic scored a spectacular goal vs. Germany on Saturday as the United States men’s national team drew Germany 1-1 in the first half. 

The USMNT showed the world that they’re the real deal for 45 minutes and then immediately disproved that in the second half losing the game 3-1.

When things were still looking optimistic, AC Milan star Pulisic stunned the Germans with a beautiful solo goal in the 27th minute to take a 1-0 lead. Pulisic has been in top form for Milan and continued impressing with this goal.

A long-distance Ukraine goal vs North Macedonia helped secure an important 2-0 victory on Saturday and moved the team one step closer to Euro 2024 qualification.

The second goal for Ukraine came in the 95th minute when Oleksandr Karavayev caught North Macedonia’s goalkeeper WAY out of position.

After replacing Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk in the 88th minute, Karavayev scored a goal from over 35 yards out. While the goalkeeper definitely failed here, you have to give some credit for the strike.

 If the United States hope to make an impact at the 2026 World Cup they must play more top teams like Germany, who they face in a friendly on Saturday, head coach Gregg Berhalter has said.

The match in East Hartford, Connecticut against the four-time world champions will be a litmus test of sorts for the U.S. and Berhalter is making sure his players are not intimidated.

"Any opportunity we get to play teams like this we want to do it," he told reporters on Friday. "It's not about being afraid of the result, being afraid of competing, it's about embracing these moments.

Kylian Mbappé passed the great Michel Platini to become France’s fourth leading goal scorer in history during Friday’s Euro qualifier which the French won 2-1 vs. Netherlands.

Mbappé tied and surpassed Platini’s place among the great French goal scorers during the game against the Dutch as he scored both goals. The victory secured France a spot in the Euro 2024 edition in Germany. 

His second goal was an absurd strike from outside the box that Dutch goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen had no chance saving.

Canada faced off against Japan in an international friendly this Friday in what seemed like an interesting challenge for the Maples to go head-to-head against a top national team for the first time since their lackluster 2022 World Cup performance. It was time to redeem themselves on the international stage.

Midnight in Newfoundland so...

It's #CANMNT Matchday!
