Deal is DONE.

The game has changed.

The United States men’s national team roster for two Concacaf Nations League games against Trinidad and Tobago was revealed on Thursday and fans will have one big question. Why is Pulisic not playing vs Trinidad and Tobago?

Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah are U.S. head coach Gregg Berhalter’s preferred starting wingers, however neither were included in the latest roster.

This is because the attacking pair are both recovering from hamstring injuries.

UPDATE: After an MRI scan it was confirmed that Pulisic didn't suffer any major injury and could return soon.

The United States women’s national team are set to hire Chelsea women’s head coach Emma Hayes to fill the void left behind following Vlatko Andonovski’s departure.

Final details between Hayes and the USWNT are still being ironed out as she will see out her final season with the Blues which won’t end until May.

Landon Donovan being left off Jürgen Klinsmann’s 2014 World Cup roster was a stunning move from the German head coach. Now nearly 10 years later Donovan has confessed what he said to Klinsmann after being told he wouldn’t go to the World Cup.

Donovan appeared as a guest on CBS Sports’ show “Kickin’ It” with Kate Abdo, Clint Dempsey, Maurice Edu and Charlie Davies and was asked about that moment in 2014.

Two-times Women's World Cup winner Megan Rapinoe has added one final stop on her farewell tour, with her OL Reign side beating the top-ranked San Diego Wave to reach the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) Championship on Saturday. 

The 2019 Ballon d'Or winner bid a bitter goodbye to the global stage as the United States crashed out in the last 16 of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in August. 

Brazil has submitted a letter of intent to soccer's governing body FIFA to host the 2027 Women's World Cup, the South American country's Minister of Sports Andre Fufuca said on Saturday.
