  • Carli Lloyd Scores Three as U.S. Crushes Ireland, 5-0

  • The Christian Pulisic hype train gathers steam:  (That is some shoddy goalkeeping.)

  • Drogba back.

  • Dempsey back, probably: "I don't worry about it. All you can focus on is your play, how you do during the year. If you're not playing well, you're not fit, you're not going to get the opportunity to get called in. I've enjoyed my time with the national team, had a good career. Hopefully, it continues. But I don't think it's always kind of in your hands to decide that. Your play has to. If there's more games, there's more games. If there's not, there's not. My job is just to always work hard, make sure I put myself in position to, whatever team calls upon me, that I can perform."

  • Not the best afternoon:
