Just before the '98 World Cup, police discovered an astonishing terror plot masterminded by Bin Laden.

Jihadists planned to attack US players, England players & a nuclear plant.

I spoke to some of those targeted, who shed new light on this bonkers story.

So much to love about that USA performance vs. Germany - the resilience, the invention, the performance of Pulisic.

Mauricio Pochettino, weddings, 'dictators' and Brenden Aaronson.

Why USA coach let Aaronson tie the knot just days before the World Cup.

It would have been 'impossible' when he was a player. '[A coach would say] "I don't care about you, I don't care about your kids."'

How can it top 94?
