ASN Morning Read: The Future Is Christian Pulisic
The young attacker gives the Under-17 squad a lead at the 2015 World Cup; Fabian Johnson's future with the American squad still seems up in the air; David Beckham gets a key player in his quest for MLS.
- The United States U-17s were up 2-0 on Croatia and managed to hold on for a 2-2 draw. Croatia hit the woodwork twice in the final seconds. It was exciting! The Americans play host country Chile on Friday with their tournament lives on the line.
- When Will Fabian Johnson Play for the U.S. Again?
- If you were a betting man, your three replacements for Jurgen Klinsmann would be Tab Ramos, Bruce Arena, and Marcelo Bielsa.
- Beckham back with more ammo: "David Beckham added another heavy hitter to his management team as he continues to work toward launching a Major League Soccer team in Miami. According to sources close to negotiations, the newcomer to the investment group is Tim Leiweke, the president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, which runs the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL, Toronto Raptors of the NBA and Toronto FC of MLS."
- Sure: "One of FIFA's top officials, charged with reforming the scandal-hit organisation, has called for a rotating presidency - a move which could transform the politics of soccer's global governing body. FIFA is set for an election on February 26 to decide on a replacement for the suspended outgoing president Sepp Blatter, who has ruled the body since 1998. But Domenico Scala, head of FIFA's Audit and Compliance Committee and chair of the Election Committee and an official with a special remit for coming up with reform ideas, believes it is time to switch to a different system for the top job in world football."
- Tom Sermanni back with more coaching duties: "Former U.S. women’s national team coach Tom Sermanni is set to be named as the coach of the new Orlando team in the NWSL."
- Being a pro soccer player is tough.
