Very different situations. Pulisic is a long-established leader and focal point for the team. Reyna, for all his talent, hasn’t been in a position...
Hasn’t the latter been the timeline all along? It’s just the difference between “he sulked after being told he wasn’t starting v Wales” and “he...
That’s less about media culture than team culture. There would have been no shortage of writers to blast out a scoop from Reyna’s agent. The fact...
Wow, I did not know Tessman had that first touch or that pass in his bag. Nice.
I’m willing to hear arguments that Berhalter shouldn’t have blabbed at this conference even though the story was obviously coming out anyway, but...
WTF was that handball???
What a great game this has been. Feels like the tournament got serious here.
Copa América is a summer tournament that Euro clubs are used to sending tons of players to. They also will be sending tons of players to the Euros...
CR did look happy for fellow old man Pepe. But seeing the Benfica kid bag a hat trick had to have made the specter of imminent career death all...

1994 Brazil in the R16 wasn’t that bad after all.
That was hilarious. Took it like he couldn’t have cared less whether it went in.
Now I see why they were trying so hard to win without penalties….
Love to see Japan pushing to win this without penalties. They appear to be incredibly fit.
Southgate even said something about that after the game, didn’t he? To the effect of “they ran a lot more than us, let’s see how that plays out...
The camera operators are incredible at finding the most English looking blokes in the stands.
Congrats Johnny. La Spezia itself isn’t much to speak of, from what I remember, but it is the gateway to the cinque terre and all that. Spezia...
It’s annoying that we got easily worked for goals (or penalties) twice in this tournament off of throw ins. Even without the killer mistakes on...
The Tracy Chapman bit gets me every time.
