ASN Morning Read: Welp, That Didn't Go As Planned
The United States women's national team ties Colombia 2-2, thanks to an uncharacteristic Hope Solo flub and some other strange circumstances. But they got through anyway; What up, Ale Bedoya?
- 2-2 isn't bad?
- I mean, they should have won:

Expected goals: #USA 1.94, #COL 0.18
Comp passes in attack 3rd:
USA 107, COL 13 - It's absurd US Soccer can't post a clip of the goal. Good fist pump, though:

- A nice feature on Julian Green, who makes Bayern Munich's first team for the 2016-2017 season: Just off the edge of the Germany-Austria border, about 30 minutes from the southern edge of Munich, there lies a small village by the name of Miesbach.
