Everyone is hyping over CL. FIFA's shenanigans has taken the shine off the upcoming match for me, tbh
Guess who these English football players are
Supposedly the USMNT had a friendly against Holland? Somebody holla, because I don't know
Yedlin supposedly played very well as a winger, and his positioning has improved, I hear. He still counts on pace to get him out of trouble, which is okay now, but not so great when you're older, so he needs to tweak that aspect of his game
The USWNT watching the USMNT- right, do you yanks have a name for your team? For instance, England is called 'three lions' (or 'lionesses' depending on the sex of the team)
The USMNT took down FIFA and now oranje- what a week
Memphis got an assist in his country's goal (NED).
Depay be all up in defences like... a wrecking ball
Huntelaar was on the hunt! He got a goal! Tim Howard has said that he wants to come back to international competition
Today was a good day
OP: done! Any cheers, jeers, corrections or commentary pushback, y'all know the drill. I'm walking this weekend, so any round up of matches played today will be truncated in tomorrows post. Have a good one!
