With his three goals at home tonight, @NewYorkRedBulls' Julian Hall became the youngest player in @MLS history (18 years, 50 days) to record a regular-season hat trick, eclipsing Ricardo Pepi for the honor (18 years, 196 days).
A year ago, Adam Wharton played in the biggest game of his career to date: that FA Cup final, beating Manchester City by a goal to nil at Wembley. But he doesn't remember much of it.
“I’ve watched a million clips back and I sort of know what happened, but there’s no memory or recollection of the game. I vaguely remember Ebs [Eze] scoring and Dean [Henderson] saving the penalty, but everything else is missing," he told SCOUTED.
"It’s weird, because apparently I answered all the questions they asked me initially. I knew who I was, where I was, what the score was, but the concussion must’ve kicked in after because when I came back onto the pitch, I kept asking Chris [Richards] what the score was. He’s trying to concentrate, and I’m asking stupid questions. I don’t know how I played on for ten minutes after that."

Would love to see more movies do joint promotions like Barbie and Oppenheimer. Make it where people reserve a day for movies. I think it would be great for blockbusters but would also be a good way to use the profile of bigger movies to promote smaller ones.
I love that the two biggest hit movies in theatres right now are about the benefits of co-existence and recognising the need to work together, even if it's a different species or from another galaxy, to solve a problem affecting the planet.

“If I’m a player in Europe, I’m a little worried.”
USMNT legend Marcelo Balboa, who’s an Argentinian-American, fully supports the message Mauricio Pochettino sent out after the 5-1 win over Uruguay.
“He [Pochettino] is trying to change the culture in this country,” Balboa said.
“He’s saying anytime you represent the U.S. team, that’s the best team we’re gonna put out, that’s the first team. I like that message.”
“If I’m a player in Europe, I’m a little worried because I saw the standard of mentality and energy they brought to this game.”
“There is a clear message. Like, ‘This is what you have to do. These are the parameters I want you to do it under my tactics.’ And if you can’t do that, there is [Sebastian] Berhalter, there is [Alex] Freeman. There is [Tanner] Tessmann. There is [Max] Arfsten. There are players that can surprise you.”
“It’s not okay anymore to have eight guys that work their ass off and two guys that relax. It doesn’t work like that anymore in international soccer.”
“I love the message he’s sending. This is the standard of what you need to do here.”
