Jesus Ferreira and the pressures of a being a striker just before the World Cup

Ferreira missed several chances in World Cup qualifying. He had another crucial miss in the playoff opener against Minnesota United. The coach made a change and Ferreiras played with less quality. He was a likely but not guaranteed option in Jürgen Klinsmann’s roster for Brazil. Gomez was injured in pre-World Cup cycle. It's difficult to find the hottest striker in MLS. However, it's getting easier. Chris Wondolowski went from a surprise breakout to winning the MLS golden boot. Jordan Pefok is a Bundesliga player who has three goals and three assists in 10 games.

World Cup withdrawal - two days, no games - offers a chance to reflect on the U.S. men's national soccer team and the complicated notion of progress. It's a word we heard often before, during and after its four games in Qatar but, really, what does progress mean and how do you quantify it? If it's progress from 2018, when the Yanks failed to…

Aaronson, Ferreira, Pulisic: Who will be USMNT's top scorer at the World Cup?

Christian Pulisic, by a significant margin, enters the 2022 FIFA World Cup as the US men's national team's leading scorer. He holds 21 goals across 52 career caps, nearly double his closest challenger. That leaves the Chelsea FC forward, per BetMGM's pre-tournament odds, as most likely to power the Yanks' run in Qatar. Pulisic (+300) is the USMNT's…

Movie about Chris Wondolowski’s life is in development

Like many of us, Chris Wondolowski grew up watching movies about sports. He and his siblings started young, falling for 1990s classics The Sandlot and The Big Green. As he came of age, he graduated from Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez and got hooked on Remember the Titans and Hoosiers. So you can forgive Wondolowski, then, if he's still processing that…

With two final friendlies before the World Cup starts in November, the United States men's national team turned in a lesson in how to inspire pessimism. A disjointed 2-0 loss to Japan preceded a dull 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia, leaving the team utterly momentumless 55 days before they kick off against Wales in Qatar. The team went into the…
