The U.S. men’s national team has yet another young American moving up the ranks in the Bundesliga.
Who is Cole Campbell, young American playing for Borussia Dortmund?
18-year-old American prospect, Cole Campbell, made his highly-anticipated professional debut for Borussia Dortmund. The USYNT forward came in as a substitute in the closing minutes of their 2-1 away loss against Augsburg.
The U.S. men’s national team have released their official roster for their set of Sept. friendlies, with quite a few important takeaways.
It’s time for a new chapter in the USMNT after a lackluster summer across all men’s national teams, with the senior squad getting grouped in their hosting of the 2024 Copa America — resulting in the sacking of former head coach Gregg Berhalter.
Representing the United States is arguably the greatest honor for an American athlete regardless of the sport. Women’s wrestling superstar Helen Maroulis, with a gold medal in 2016 and a bronze in 2020, stands as a seasoned champion. Rising soccer star Cade Cowell, on the other hand, is part of the next generation of soccer players ready to make his mark.
Despite the differences in their sports – wrestling and soccer – Helen and Cade are united by a passion for competition, love of country, and a focused approach to fueling performance.
Earlier this year, in April, Lamine Yamal became Barcelona and LaLiga's youngest-ever first team player when he donned Barça's jersey at just 15 years old. Then, last month, the teenager earned a similar honor for Spain when he took the field for the men's team and proceeded to not just make an appearance, but also score a goal – becoming his country's youngest-ever goal scorer at 16 years and 57 days old (beating Barcelona and Spain teammate Gavi's record of 17 years and 62 days old).
While Jude Bellingham continues to show out with Real Madrid in LaLiga, EA Sports have made it their personal objective to humble the Englishman, along with other stars of the game, with their new game ratings.
“What goes up, must come down” — the person in charge of deciding Bellingham’s rating on EAFC must have said.
Two-time World Cup champion Julie Ertz retired from professional soccer with an announcement on social media on Thursday.

Megan Rapinoe did not get the Women's World Cup farewell she wanted on Sunday, a penalty that sailed over the crossbar the last international play by one of the United States' most decorated players.
American soccer's charismatic figurehead was sent on as a substitute in extra time but the last-16 game against old foes Sweden ended 0-0 before the Swedes won the penalty shootout 5-4.
Rapinoe was one of three American players to miss her spot-kick.
Rapinoe misses the fourth!
El arranque de Chivas en el Apertura 2023 es perfecto: dos partidos y dos triunfos. Sin embargo, la gran historia que entusiasma al Rebaño es la irrupción de Yael Padilla, un extremo por derecha de 17 años que ha sorprendido por su desparpajo y su efectividad, esta última reflejada en los dos goles que acumula durante el torneo.
Ante la lesión de Alexis Vega y la participación de Roberto Alvarado en la Copa Oro con la Selección Mexicana, el técnico Veljko Paunovic decidió darle una chance a varios jugadores y Padilla sí que ha aprovechado su oportunidad.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - United States forward Megan Rapinoe will retire after this season, the 38-year-old said on Saturday, days before she leaves for the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
The charismatic veteran will compete in her fourth World Cup when the tournament kicks off on July 20, and said she will hang up her cleats after completing her National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) season.
Rose Lavelle said she is more comfortable taking on the responsibilities of leadership and is ready to step up as a senior member of the U.S. squad when she heads to her second Women's World Cup, even as questions remain around her fitness.
The 28-year-old midfielder, who scored in the 2019 final as the Americans won their fourth title, has been nursing a knee injury and last played on April 8 in a friendly against Ireland.
