Let’s go on a journey. We’re trying out a new format this week to make these articles more readable. Instead of embedding every single video into the article, only the top 10 USMNT moments will be embedded, while the rest will be links. This should hopefully allow everyone to load the article, even from mobile devices. Of course, this week was so eventful that we immediately had to break the “Top 10” rule and include 11 clips. Let’s get to the video!
Tuesday
- Brenden Aaronson subbed on in the 81st minute for Union Berlin against Braga in Champions League. He immediately created a chance, and later had a header in the box that went wide.
- Malik Tillman played all of PSV’s Champions League match with Sevilla. Malik won the penalty for PSV’s first goal, and played the ball over the top to Pepi, who drew a free kick that was scored for PSV’s second. We have two comps of this game: one linked here, and one embedded:
