The USMNT will be stuck at the World Cup until it adopts Germany's blueprint
In 2000 Germany finished last at the Euros and decided it was time overhaul the system. They built 390 regional training bases to make sure one was within 25 km of every kid in country. They hired 1,200 full-time coaches, invested €48 million per year and mandated that every pro club build a certified youth academy or lose its license
The cost to families was $0 and 14 years later, 21 of the 23 players who won the World Cup came directly from the system
Brazil’s yellow.
Croatia’s red and white checkers.
Argentina’s sky blue and white vertical stripes.
Uruguay’s powder blue.
The Netherlands’ orange.
Japan’s samurai blue.
The white and red horizontal stripes should be the USMNT’s permanent home kit going forward. Make it happen @Nike@ussoccer.

Very sad news. Duke Nation, we lost a big part of our community and a dear friend of mine after her battle with cancer.
Some of you may have seen her account @3x5 or as a guest on the @CrazieCast. Megan was one of most passionate sports fans I knew and someone who ALWAYS showed support whether it was my personal career or here. Genuine to the core.
Folarin Balogun will be AVAILABLE for USMNT's round of 16 match against Belgium with his one-game red-card ban suspended, per The Athletic
HUGE for USA 🔥
Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium, with his one-game red-card ban that he received against Bosnia and Herzegovina suspended.
Article 27 of FIFA’s disciplinary code states that “the judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure.”
