PSG Sign U.S. U-17 MNT Striker Timothy Weah To Three-Year Deal
United States U-17 striker Tim Weah has signed his first professional contract with Paris Saint-Germain, a three-year deal that will keep the player at the club until 2020.
Tim, like his older brother George Jr. before him, is scrutinized more than your average footballer by virtue of being the son of George Weah, the 1995 Ballon d’Or winner.

Twitter no puede manejar al locutor México-Portugal
Probablemente ya conozcas el resultado del partido por el tercer puesto entre México y Portugal en la Copa FIFA Confederaciones 2017. Si no, permítenos ponerte al día.
Después de una serie de paradas impresionantes (incluido un penalti) del Hombre del Partido Guillermo Ochoa, México estaba a solo tres minutos de un tercer lugar. Entonces Pepe se apoderó de un centro de Ricardo Quaresma para enviar el partido a la prórroga.

When Canada Won The Gold Cup By Winning A Coin Toss And Upsetting Mexico
In 15 previous editions of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the outlandishly large trophy has been lifted by either Mexico or the United States on 14 occasions. The only other nation to have triumphed at the event isn’t Central American power Costa Rica, nor is it previous tournament guests Brazil or Colombia. In 2000, the Gold Cup was won by the world's 85th-ranked side — Canada.
The Canadians made a historic run to the final, frequently playing in a Los Angeles Coliseum that was at about 3 percent capacity, beginning with the successful navigation of group play via a coin toss.
Fabian’s Must-See Golazo No Consolation In Mexico’s Crushing 4-1 Loss To Germany
Mexico already trailed by three when Marco Fabian lashed at the ball with all his might, catching everyone by surprise.
Fabian sliced a wonder strike past Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the 89th minute, but few will remember this match for that goal.
Instead, what will be remembered is El Tri surrendering two goals in the first eight minutes en route to a crushing 4-1 defeat in the Confederations Cup semifinals Thursday in Russia.
Germany will play Chile in the final on Sunday while Mexico gets a Cristiano Ronaldo-less Portugal in the third-place game.
Jesse Gonzalez Has Officially Switched From Mexico To The USMNT
Jesse Gonzalez is probably the best young goalkeeper in MLS. The 22-year-old FC Dallas goalie is tall, athletic and composed. Sounds perfect for the USMNT, right? I mean, Tim Howard and Brad Guzan are getting older, and there hasn't been a heir apparent to step into their shoes.
The problem was until today, Gonzalez was actually in Mexico's player pool. However, Gonzalez filed paperwork for a one-time national team switch, and today FIFA approved the move. This is a big deal. Gonzalez has a while to go before he even hits his prime, and he's already really good.
Ghana Coach Does His Best Donald Trump Impression After Loss To Mexico
Ghana coach James Kwesi Appiah might be on board with Donald Trump’s vision for a big, beautiful wall along the Mexican border.
After Ghana lost 1-0 to Mexico on Wednesday in Houston, Appiah didn’t complain about his team’s inability to put away chances, but instead he was dismayed that a Mexican-American was allowed to referee the game.
Who Are These Uncapped Americans On The USMNT Gold Cup Roster?
Based on the roster selections for the 2017 Gold Cup, it’s clear CONCACAF heavyweights Mexico and the United States aren’t putting too much stock into the upcoming tournament.
Mexico, which sent many of its top players to the Confederations Cup, will be devoid of most of its stars at the Gold Cup.
The U.S., despite not being in the Confederations Cup and with a partial berth to the 2021 Confederations Cup on the line, is sending a side full of inexperienced players to the Gold Cup.
