Hey you. Yes, you, average human. Please halt your evening, stop scrolling through Facebook and look at what an American did playing soccer. The Christian Pulisic touch vs. Morocco was pure artistry in motion as the USMNT No. 10 beautifully set up Brenden Aaronson for the first goal of the night on Wednesday.
It is June 1, a day that across the world rings in a month of Pride celebration, visibility and advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights. These celebrations will surely make their way into the beautiful game.

Above all else, these celebrations are an affirmation that soccer should be inclusive of all. I would argue that such acceptance, at least philosophically, is the very nature of the sport.
“Who is Haji Wright?” fans might ask while watching June’s United States men’s national team games. This is a valid question to ask as the 24-year-old is set to make his first appearance with the senior USMNT team.

MLS newcomer Charlotte FC announced this morning the club is parting ways with head coach Miguel Ángel Ramírez. Why did Charlotte fire Ramírez? The short answer is that at this point, no one is sure.
Just 14 games into their first season as an expansion team in Major League Soccer, Ramírez had Charlotte outperforming expectations. The Queen City sits in eighth place in the eastern conference, just one position out of a playoff spot, and reached the Round of 16 in the U.S. Open Cup.
Javier Hernández acabó con una sequía de siete partidos – 49 días – sin anotar en la MLS, en la victoria por 4-1 del LA Galaxy sobre el Austin FC.
