- Major League Soccer is putting out its annual 24 Under 24 rankings. Americans in spots 24-11 include Walker Zimmerman, Matt Polster, and Juan Agudelo, who is still just 23.
- Christian Pulisic Makes a Bold Statement in Germany
- Or, at least, until he didn't:
Christian Pulisic off at half. He completed 4 of 12 passes; fewest completions & lowest rate of any one in the 1st half. Cancel everything.
— Paul Carr (@PCarrESPN) September 20, 2016 - This is a long, good look at the state of the NWSL: "It's too cliché at times to say that the NWSL needs to strike while the iron is hot. But the iron is hot right now. Here's hoping that the league hits it hard, and is able to build a machine that launches the game into the future it so deeply deserves."
- From the "At least he's not hurt?" department:
In Germany, Werder Bremen and #usmnt forward Aron Johannsson has been suspended for two games following his red card https://t.co/E1S3739cJI
