Christian Pulisic on Berhalter “He told me that I don’t train with the same intensity that I have in games— and that what’s caused my injuries.
I didn’t wanna hear it at the time, I was kind of like (Shut Up) in my head, but now I’ve made an effort and it’s changed my career.”

Alejandro Zendejas has only played twice for the USMNT since the beginning of 2025, which came in the September window.

So when he got the call-up for the World Cup, Zendejas couldn’t help but be emotional. And he actually cried.

The winger spoke about it to Telemundo Deportes.

“I was finishing training that day,” he said.

“Then I got an email. I opened it right away, then went to WhatsApp to talk to my family.

“I mean, I didn’t panic. I was with my girlfriend. And yeah, I was kind of calm, relaxed, and we got in the car and everything.

“Then I took deep breaths and we both started to cry.

“It’s a team with some really great players. The coach had so many options and thank God, he gave me an opportunity.

“I wasn’t in some of the recent squads. But I will adapt very quickly and I will keep up with the pace.”

Zendejas is on fire. In his last five games for Club América, he has four goals and two assists.

The 28-year-old is ready to repay Mauricio Pochettino’s trust in him and ball out in the World Cup.

It’s not entirely clear why Tanner Tessmann was omitted from the USMNT 2026 FIFA World Cup roster, but it’s briefed that the muscle injury he picked up earlier in May was no concern regarding his World Cup availability.

لويس سواريز:

"يجب تقدير أنواع أخرى من السلوكيات وليس فقط الأهداف، اليوم جاء دوري، وجاء دور جيرمان، وأحيانًا كثيرًا يأتي دور ليو.

المهم هو مساعدة الفريق، لأن الأمر ليس مجرد قطع مسافات فقط، بل في كثير من الأحيان تكون هناك ذكاء في العقل، وهؤلاء هم من يفوزون بالمباريات."

Former USMNT midfielder Sacha Kljestan gives advice to Diego Luna, who reportedly missed out on the World Cup.

Kljestan was speaking on MLS 360 Show, when the topic about Luna came up.

“I've been through what Diego Luna has gone through, the 2010 World Cup,” he said.

“But I can say now that I'm old and retired, and I’ve lived the rest of my career. My career after that moment was better than my career before that moment.

“I didn't let one decision go against me, didn’t let that blow the rest of my career, and so, Diego Luna, you still have 12 more years of your career. 15, maybe.

“I tried to prove a point until the day I stopped playing, and then at one point, you know, Bob Bradley said something to me many years later.

“He said, ‘You know what, maybe I got that one wrong. Maybe you deserved to go in 2010 and it is what it is.’

“It’s one tournament I missed out, but I didn't let that derail any part of my whole career. And I hope Diego Luna can do that.”

Luna, now 22, has four goals and one assist in nine MLS games this season.

He played 17 out of 18 USMNT games in 2025. It seemed like Mauricio Pochettino is a big fan of him.

So this would be a big blow for him to miss the World Cup. Let’s hope he bounces back better than ever.

“We all got in trouble even though I think we all stood behind the league [MLS] and believed in it.” 😳

Were USMNT coaches getting in “trouble” for telling players to leave MLS and play in Europe?

Bob Bradley sat down with Jurgen Klinsmann and Steve Sampson for a round table talk with former USMNT player Stu Holden.

“MLS has been huge for growing the game in the United States,” Bradley said.

“At a certain point, there are players. You were one [pointing at Holden] and you asked me, ‘What do you think [of him leaving MLS to play in Europe]?’

“This idea that at some point you need the next challenge. Some go for it. Some don't. But MLS must get credit, because for so long, we didn't have a league.

“And to Steve's point, guys were just looking for places to play. And so when you're the national team coach, I felt pretty strongly that on one hand, you show such respect for the league, and look, I came through the league, so I wanted to make sure that that was always clear.

“But then you're also responsible for helping guys in their careers and making sure that when the moment comes that they're thinking about, how do I get to the next level? And am I ready to go out of a comfort zone?

“So it's a unique balance, because you don't want to disrespect the league at all. And I think somewhere along the line, I got in trouble with people at the league because they think that when your moment came, that I basically told you to leave [for Bolton in England].

“And actually I still remember you said to me, ‘If I leave and I'm not playing regularly, will that hurt my chances with the national team?’

“And I said, ‘If you go and in the initial period, yes, it takes time to earn respect and get on the field, and so in those initial days, if you're not playing all the time, that's not going to hurt you. That's going to help you. Now, if you stay there for five years and you don't play, yeah, that would hurt.’

“So for me, you're always trying as the national team coach to understand your players, to think about how can we take all these guys and turn it into something.”

After Bradley, Sampson admitted he got in trouble as well because when he became a USMNT coach after 1994 World Cup, he wanted USMNT players to stay in Europe to keep growing their game instead of coming to the newly established MLS.

“We all did. We all got in trouble even though I think we all stood behind the league and believed in it. But in some moments, we got in trouble,” Bradley agreed with Sampson.

Sampson continued with his point: “I think our job was to do well at the international level. Right? We all knew players playing at the highest leagues would help us get there faster.

“But if we hadn’t started in ‘96, we wouldn’t be where we are today which is a league that is light years ahead of where it was in ‘96.”

Is Thierry Henry about to have a street named after him in New York City? 👀

The French World Cup winning legend ended his career in New York Red Bulls of MLS after success in Arsenal and Barcelona.

Now, NYC Council Member Virginia Maloney is sponsoring a bill to name streets after him and Pelé— the Brazilian World Cup winning legend who played for New York Cosmos.

“As Chair of the Council’s Economic Development Committee, I’ve been focused on the City’s preparations for hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” said Council Member Maloney.

“I’m excited to introduce legislation naming Thierry Henry Way in Manhattan and Pelé Way in Queens honoring two global soccer icons who helped shape the modern game.

“Thierry Henry Way will be in the district I’m proud to represent running alongside Rockefeller Center, where hundreds of thousands of fans will gather for free viewing parties.

“It’s fitting that we’re connecting this global moment to our local communities and businesses ensuring that New Yorkers are a part of this once-in-a-lifetime experience whether in our stadiums or on our streets.”

Henry won the World Cup and Euros with France, La Liga and the Champions League with Barcelona, and the Premier League with Arsenal.

Having the honor of NYC naming a street after him, which is very rare to do for a living person, would be yet another fantastic achievement of his life.

🚨 Arne Slot on suggestions that Curtis Jones wanted more game time this season:

“Since I am the manager he plays much more minutes than he ever did before. That's down to me liking the player and the fact our squad has become smaller, mainly because of injuries.

"That means the same players have to share the playing time because we went to the quarter-finals of the Champions League and the FA Cup. If you have a lot of injuries, then in the top 25 there are five or six players of ours with the most minutes played.

"I can tell you we played much better games when we have lost or drawn. But that's how football works - if we win then everybody played a great game, and if we lose then it's all SHIT.”

“As a coach, you know, it hurts a little bit.”

Over a decade ago, MLS paid big bucks to bring back key USMNT players like Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley, and Jozy Altidore from top European leagues.

USMNT coach at the time, Jurgen Klinsmann, has now opened up about how he felt.

He was speaking to former USMNT player Stu Holden alongside Bob Bradley and Steve Sampson for a FOX Sports round table talk.

“Big picturing thinking Don Garber said, ‘You know what. We’ve had our top players in Europe for the last six, eight years, we want them back!’ So they [the players] came to me,” Klinsmann said.

“They said to me, ‘Coach, I have an offer to come back for an incredible amount of money financially.’ So the risk was taken by MLS. They took the risk and said they want our best players back in MLS.

“How did I feel? Inside, as a coach, you know, it hurts you a little bit.

“Because you know, AS Roma, Michael, come on, stay there. You will play the Champions League or Clint with Tottenham.

“And then, Jozy in Sunderland. I flew to Sunderland and he came off the bench. The owner two weeks later told me they had an offer on the table from MLS and they just can’t believe it.

“And I mean, I cannot blame the players. Even if I wanted them to stay in Europe, I also knew I had to learn to understand them in terms of what is their future, and it's MLS’ future to step it up again.

“And they stepped it up again. And they are stepping up every couple of years, you know, now we have, Lionel Messi playing in this league.

“As a national team coach, you kind of understand it. You got to bring yourself back down and say, ‘Okay, maybe I'm too European now looking at things here and to accept it.’

“And then you go back to work and you say, ‘Okay, now we are all going out to Brazil to a World Cup. It's pretty cool, World Cup in Brazil. So now let's go down there and beat the sh*t out of those teams as much as we can and take it from there.’”
