Yesterday, the U-20 U.S. squad beat Argentina’s U-20s by a score of 3–0, with a slew of Union involvement throughout the match. - Sal Olivas scored the opener, assisted by Philadelphia Union Homegrown and current San Diego FC midfielder David Vazquez. - For the second, YSC graduate Devon DeCorte, now with Belgian club Anderlecht, made the key pass that led to the goal. - On the third, former Union II player Bajung Darboe broke through and put the game to rest. Best part of it all? They did it in front of Lionel Messi and Argentina FA president Claudio Fabián “Chiqui” Tapia at, get this, Argentina’s headquarters, which are named after Messi. The loss is not sitting well with the fans of the national squad. #usymnt #USMNT #DOOP #MLS #flowwithus #anderlecht #MLSNEXTPRO #Argentina 📹: ARGENTINA FA

Ronan Sullivan earns a call up to the U-20 Bangladesh National Team for the SAFF U-20 Championships!

@tombogert How? They have David Vazquez!!!!

What San Diego FC did last night was absolutely insane. They went down a man with a red card in the 12th (!) min vs. a powerhouse Toluca team... and still scored three goals. SDFC finished the game with nine men (88th min red). Still won 3-2. Unreal.

@JoserNunez91 @FreeKickPod No time tonight ….

Bradley Carnell, ahead of the match against the San Jose Earthquakes, spoke about the development of Cavan Sullivan this season: “He’s already got a handful of minutes. I think it’s over 160 minutes already in the appearances so far, whether it’s been in the league or the Champions Cup. And he’s been on a really good way in training. We’ve been working closely with Manchester City as well. So again, everyone is having a collective approach to Cavan’s development, as we do with every player, and we’ve seen good returns so far.” #doop #MLS #MCFC #ManchesterCity #USMNT #USYMNT 📹 :APPLE|MLS

The USL season opener was a BANGER. Chris "Didier" Donovan, making his debut for Louisville City FC after becoming a free agent following his time with the Philadelphia Union, danced his way through the Lexington defense and got a shot off against Oliver Semmle, a former Louisville City and Union keeper, before Aiden McFadden buried the rebound to win the game. Exactly as the script intended. Pure cinema. #doop #USL #loucity #lexgo #MLS #drexel 📹: Louisville City

Cavan Sullivan, after becoming the youngest player to score for an MLS club in the Concacaf Champions Cup (since 2008–09) and the youngest player to record a brace, at just 16 years, 4 months, and 29 days, while also dishing out three assists in the series, was named to the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16 Best XI. #doop #mls #concacaf #cccfever #USMNT #USYMNT 📸: CONCACAF

From the pitch ⚽️ ➡️ to the ice 🧊 Best of luck to former @IlliniSoccer student-athlete, Sarah Warren, as she competes in the 500m speed skate for @USSpeedskating! 🇺🇸 #OlympiansMadeHere #NCAASoccer

Overall, I thought the Snow Bowl was a huge success of a tournament and I hope to see it become an annual thing. Seeing American academies compete with talent from around the world is always super fun and it’s an added bonus when said American academy is the best in the country.

Breakaway goal and an INSANE celly 🥳 Gunnar Graham puts the 18s ahead right before the half!

@SoB_Evan Any rumors on additional roster adds out there - nothing verified or actual, but rumors?

and the squad gets even thinner…
