Good from #Crew96 but not great. It’s going to take something special to advance Monterrey.

I love the mentality of the team under Nancy

In the Copa Sudamericana Group E, Uruguay’s Danubio hosting Brazil’s Athletico Paranaense

Former NC State Men's Soccer & U.S U-20 (1 callup) central defender Matias Fracchia with the start for Danubio

Also in the Premier League
- Chris Richards STARTS for Crystal Palace vs. Newcastle United
- Auston Trusty STARTS for Sheffield United at Manchester United.

Coventry is nine points behind Norwich for the final promotional playoff position. Coventry has 4 games remaining, Norwich have 2. That makes this game critical, despite coming off an emotional rollercoaster vs. Man U
- Haji Wright on the bench 3 days after going 120 at Wembley

Reportedly USA-born Wesley Okoduwa is on the bench again for Wolves at just 15 years old. Wolves are missing many players due to injury.

I did a piece on Leandro Soria two years ago after he made his debut in the Argentine Primera with Godoy Cruz. Since then, he had mostly been playing with their reserves

Now it looks like the Philadelphia Union have made a move for him (starting with Union II). Still just 19

As a young player, Henry Wingo wasn’t able to break into Seattle as a regular. He went to Norway and then Hungary where he won a 1 Norwegian title, 4 Hungarian titles, & 1 Magyar Cup

It will be interesting to see how he does with Austin and how much he has matured, if it happens

Best moment of the season for Tim Weah (he needed it) and one of the best of his career. Juve through to the final

Former NE Revs and U.S U-20 World Cup forward Justin Rennicks with goals in his first two league games to start the season for AC Oulu

Great field-level view of Haji Wright’s equalizing penalty for Coventry in stoppage time at Wembley against Manchester United

If it’s going to be a bad game between two of the league’s worst teams, at least let the 1 goal that was scored be good… and it was
