Let’s go on a quick journey. Some soccer was played this midweek, and video clips have been gathered. Let’s run through them to see what developments there have been in the USMNT player pool this midweek:
Saturday
Kevin Paredes came off the bench for Wolfsburg at 60’, trailing 0-2 to Augsburg. Wolfsbug scored at 84’, and at 90’, Paredes delivered this cross to get the assist on the game-tying goal.

Antonee Robinson and Tim Ream both went 90’ in Fulham FC’s 1-2 loss to Bournemouth. Jedi smashed a shot from outside the box, straight into the bar.

In addition, Sanjiv of USMNTVideos made a full compilation of Tillman’s game vs Dundee.
Brenden Aaronson got the start for Leeds United as they faced Arsenal FC. Pretty good experience for the kid to play against a club that’s currently one of the best in the world. We have the clips thanks to @americanwigends.

18-year-old midfielder Rokas Pukstas scored Hajduk Split’s third goal vs Sibenik. It gave the club a 3-0 lead, but they would concede twice, making Pukstas’s goal the game-winner. Pukstas is a US U20, and played in the recent Concacaf U20 Championship.

Miles Robinson went 90’ for Atlanta United in their 1-0 win over the New York Red Bulls. Miles played a long diagonal that opened things up leading to the only goal of the game.

17-year-old goalkeeper Gavin Beavers got the start for Real Salt Lake, making his MLS debut. It would be a tough night for Beavers, as he allowed 4 goals in a 0-4 loss, but things started brightly as he saved this shot from Christian Ramirez.

Former USMNT midfielder Darlington Nagbe played a slick one-two to set up Morris’s second (and Beavers’ third conceded).
And that's a Morris brace.

Drake Callender made a nice save for Inter Miami against FC Cincinnati, but he couldn’t do anything about their goal, where DeAndre Yedlin was beaten at the near post.

After the Sounders jumped out to a 2-0 lead, 19-year-old CB Jalen Neal brought the LA Galaxy back within one, scoring his first MLS goal. Neal also attempted a difficult full volley in the 93’, with the Galaxy chasing an equalizer.
Right place. Right time.

The Vancouver Whitecaps - CF Montreal Impact game featured a surprising amount of American action. First, Julian Gressel smacked a free kick off the post.
Next, American striker Brian White took a ridiculous touch to set up Ali Ahmed, whose shot was saved.

After that, American forward Simon Becher got the assist on Brian White’s goal to open the scoring.
Next, Becher scored a goal of his own.
Julian Gressel wouldn’t be left out of the fun, as he scored on a rebound from Brian White’s shot.

And to round off the action, 18-year-old Esmir Bajraktarevic scored a nifty goal for New England II against NYCFC II in MLS Next Pro action. Esmir started for New England’s first team last week, so it’s a bummer to see him with the reserves, but it’s a well-taken finish from him.
What a goal!
