Balogun scored his third goal for the USMNT Tuesday night and it's undoubtedly his best one.
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.
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.
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.
Women's World Cup winner and former Spain coach Jorge Vilda was appointed as the new manager of the Morocco women's team on Thursday, succeeding Frenchman Reynald Pedros.
Vilda, who won the Women's World Cup with Spain in August, was sacked 10 days after FIFA suspended former Spanish FA (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales for giving a non-consensual kiss to striker Jenni Hermoso during the medal ceremony in Sydney.
Argentina captain Lionel Messi is still a doubt for the World Cup qualifier against Paraguay, coach Lionel Scaloni said on Wednesday.
Messi was included in the world champions' squad despite being sidelined by the muscle problem he sustained last month which has kept him out of action for his U.S. side Inter Miami.
Scaloni said the 36-year-old forward had been training well ahead of the match on Thursday.
Gio Reyna was one of the 23 names on Gregg Berhalter’s latest United States men’s national team roster which was announced on Wednesday.

United States men’s national team forward Gio Reyna is having a rough start to the 2023-24 club season with Borussia Dortmund. Reyna remained on the bench Wednesday as an unused substitute as Dortmund drew AC Milan 0-0 in the Champions League.
His USMNT teammates Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah both started for Milan, but Reyna would never see the field.
Gio Reyna is an unused sub for Edin Terzić's Borussia Dortmund side for the fourth straight match across all competitions.
United States men’s national team star defensive midfielder Tyler Adams is set to be out for an extended period following an injury setback to his hamstring. The Tyler Adams injury update from Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola was worst case scenario.
“I don’t know what to call it, a setback, but he is not feeling well,” Iraola said. “It is true that he is going to be out for some time, for sure. I think it’s the same area. I couldn’t tell you if it’s exactly the same point, but it’s true that it’s his hamstring.”
Imagine telling U.S. Soccer fans that the USMNT have a player consistently starting for a team in Europe’s top five leagues, that team is in the top five of their league and the player is putting up solid performances.
That player would be called up in a heartbeat and the U.S. Soccer social media accounts should be talking about him nonstop. That isn’t the case however, and that’s because the player in question is John Brooks.
Inter Miami coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino confirmed Friday that star forward Lionel Messi will miss Sunday's match at Orlando City as he deals with a scar tissue issue from an injury with the Argentina national team.
Messi, 36, and defender Jordi Alba did not practice Friday after they both exited in the first half of Wednesday's 4-0 win over visiting Toronto FC due to what Martino called muscle fatigue.
