Ok so maybe we stretched the truth a bit here. We have a limited amount of fans in attendance in the English Premier League and elsewhere across the world. Yay for new things

In today's Kickoff:
Americans kicking a**
Premier League Recap
MLS Cup Playoffs
vs.

A great day to be American

Most of our attention tends to focus on the men that represent our country overseas, but we can't forget about the ladies who are playing over in Europe who are doing one heck of a job. Alex Morgan netted her first goal for the Tottenham Hotspur Women's club in their 3-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion. Also, Sam Kerr completed her first ever hattrick for the Chelsea lady's team as she provided all the goals in their 3-2 win over London rival West Ham. Go on ladies!

Onto the men's pitch, we had an incredible day last Saturday across Europe over in England, Germany, and Italy from our lads representing the red white and blue. 3 Americans all scored on Saturday to help earn their clubs crucial points in the quest for domestic league glory.

Gio Reyna (age 18) - Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund found themselves down 1-0 early to Eintracht Frankfurt in their Bundesliga match last Saturday
Reyna started for Dortmund in a familiar position but couldn't find the back of the net in the first half
In the 56' minute Gio scored an absolute STUNNER of a goal from just inside the box to level the score and earn Dortmund 1 point in their 1-1 draw in Frankfurt

Christian Pulisic (age 22) - Chelsea 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Going into this season, Chelsea had high hopes for Christian as he proved to play a pivotal role for the club scoring and/or assisting in 7/9 final games of last season
Chelsea made a statement by handing Christian the #10 jersey
- Think of this as the #23 jersey for basketball but for soccer the #10 has genuine relevancy to the player's role in the club and leadership within the team - all the best players wear #10
Pulisic has missed 6/11 of his games this season due to a hamstring injury but last Saturday earned his first Premier League start of the season
Christian scored Chelsea's third goal in their 3-1 against Leeds to seal the victory for the blues
- Out with his hamstring injury and in with the new beard 🧔

Weston Mckennie (age 22) - Juventus

The Texas native came to Germany to play for Schalke in 2017 and has made a name for himself on defense and attacking down the field for the last few years
In a huge deal for the American, Schalke loaned out Weston to Juventus for the 2020/21 season
- Meaning Schalke still owns Weston and he's under their contract but Juventus is paying his contract for the time being while he plays for the club in Italy
Juventus faced off against bottom of the table Torino in an Italian derby with a crucial points on the line as Juventus were fourth in the Series A table
Juventus found themselves down 1-0 for the majority of the match so turned to Mckennie to turn things around as they subbed him on in the 71' minute
It only took Mckennie 6 minutes to find the back of the net as he scored Juventus's opening goal with a header off of Juan Cuadrado's cross
Juventus captain Leonardo Bonucci scored the match winner in the 89' minute for a crucial 3 points in a 2-1 victory over Torino

Way to go lads

Who needs the corner flag anyways?

Clearly not Jamie Vardy

After scoring a 90' minute game winner for Leicester City, Jamie Vardy created one of the most emphatic celebrations by absolutely shattering the corner flag while playing at Sheffield United. Maybe this is because his boyhood club is Sheffield Wednesday, which is a hometown rival to Sheffield United. Once a fan always a fan amIright?

And it wasn't just Jamie Vardy that was only one celebrating in Premier League stadiums. Starting last weekend, up to 2,000 fans were allowed in select stadiums. Even though this is just a fraction of what Premier League teams are used to hosting, having the energy from the home fans clearly made a huge difference for certain teams. Case and point: Liverpool & Jurgen Klopp (see GIF below)

The 2,000 fans in the Kop at Anfield were hyped after not seeing their team play since March. And we can't forget that since then, Liverpool won their first Premier League title ever as all the fans had to stay quarantined at home watching their beloved team lift the trophy for the first time. Fans at Anfield welcomed their club by singing, as tradition, the Liverpool's club anthem You'll Never Walk Alone. And don't worry, you're not the only one if this gives you goosebumps. This energy surely helped Liverpool in their 4-0 route of Wolves to keep their place in second in the Premier League.

Elsewhere at the top of the table, Spurs faced off against North London rival Arsenal. As for the Gooners (Arsenal), they were on course to have their worst start in 39 years if they were to lose this game against Tottenham. And thanks to the dynamic duo of Harry Kane and Heung Min Son, Spurs handed Arsenal a loss that would take them to what feels like an all time low point for the club. Son scored the opening goal in the first half with an absolute STUNNER from outside the box and later assisted Harry Kane with the second goal in the first half to secure the 2-0 to keep them atop the league.

Welcome back to all the supporters

It's the final...countdown!

doo doo doo doo!

Yes the finals are...finally here

Late last night, the Columbus Crew were anxiously waiting to see who they were going to face off in the 2020 finals this Saturday night. And with so much on the line, the defending champs Seattle Sounders had an up hill battle to pull off one of the most INSANE COMEBACKS we have seen this year.

Minnesota United FC, the 22nd club in the MLS who joined in 2017, scored the opening goal with a sublime free kick from Emanuel Renoso in the first half. Then Raúl Ruidíaz thought he tied it up 1-1 but VAR eventually overturned it (we've heard that before) after the video review showed he fouled one of the Minnesota defenders. It was then Bake Dibassy who took advantage of the 1 goal lead and extended it to 2 goals in the 67' minute in what most thought would lock up the game and send Minnesota to their first ever MLS Cup finals appearance.

However, Seattle had something else in mind. After Will Bruin scored in the 75' minute, the Sounders still needed 2 more goals to complete the much needed comeback being down 2-1...but the clock was ticking. Raúl Ruidíaz later got his revenge in the 89' minute as he scored to draw the game level. At this point, most thought we'd be heading to extra time to decide the winner, but again, Seattle had something else in mind. Gustav Svensson finished a beautifully timed header off a corner kick in the 93' minute to complete the improbable comeback and send Seattle to their 4th MLS Cup finals appearance in the quest to grab hold of their 3rd MLS Cup trophy. Scroll all the way down below to check out the highlights in this match of the YEAR 🤩

The Sounders will be playing the Columbus Crew who won the MLS Cup Playoffs back in 2008 while also making an appearance in 2015 but falling short to the Portland Timbers. The game will be hosted by the Crew in Columbus and will take place this Saturday, December 12th at 8 PM EST on FOX. Mark your calendars everyone 🗓

And they meet again

Today we have the greatest pleasure of watching the two greatest soccer talents alive play each other in a pivotal Champions League match. After Ronaldo wasn't able to play in the first Barca-Juventus UCL game due to COVID-19, it is now looking like the two GOAT's will suit up and play on the same field once again.

What's at stake?

Barcelona currently have 15 points in the group while Juventus have 12 points
This is a battle for who finishes first in the group and gets the easier draw going into the knockout stages
Given Barcelona won the previous match 2-0, it would take a 3 goal deficit in favor of Juventus for the Italian giants to go onto the top of Group G

Whose got the upper hand?

Despite Barcelona's impressive run in Champions League thus far, their results in La Liga are quite concerning
- Barcelona just lost 2-1 to Cádiz who (surprisingly) are 5th in La Liga while the Blaugrana are all the way back in 9th place
Juventus haven't looked as good in Champions League especially with their defeat to the Catalonians earlier in October but with a win against Torino last weekend and a 4th place ranking in Serie A, it could be argued that the Italians are looking like the stronger side in this matchup especially when you look at the teams on paper and the depth they provide

While Cristiano edges out Messi with 5 Champions League titles compared to the Argentine's 4 titles, their quest for glory won't be deterred too much regardless of the result in today's match at 3 PM EST. Get ready ya'll 🤠
