News about Pellegrino Matarazzo

Neither of the two former US players restrained themselves in their criticism of one another on social media just two days after the USA crashed out of Copa America with a 1-0 defeat to Uruguay. And although the two retirees are former forwards, they never were teammates on the Stars and Stripes. But, they both did represent their country at separate World Cups.

The USMNT could view holding England to a stalemate and kicking it out of the company's Qatar a relative success, but with a roster full of young, developing talent, that is no longer good enough. Sportsmail examined American soccer fans' honest assessment of their hopes before the World Cup began. With uncertainty in the team going into the tournament, it was difficult to know what would happen for the United States as they faced Wales, England, and Iran. What we saw was a team that dominated in the midfield, remained relatively solid in defense, and, despite a lack of quality attacking opportunities, it remained threatening. It led to their third straight appearance in the Round of 16 in World Cups, which they have qualified for since 2006.

Sasa Kalajdzic, a Stuttgart striker, has received a £15.3 million fee plus bonus. The six-foot 7ins striker has been on track for the past few weeks, and the 25-year-old striker is expected to fly to England this evening before finishing his move. On Saturday, the Austrian national was late for Stuttgart's training session after having talks with head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, but he also missed their 0-0 draw with Cologne on Sunday as talks with Wolves continued.

Wolves are set to start talks on a £17 million contract for 6ft 7ins Austria striker Sasa Kalajdzic. Since being in the midst of talks with head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, the 25-year-old was left out of Stuttgart's training session on Saturday, and he will also be left out of the team's squad to face Cologne in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Wolves are trying to find an understanding ahead of further talks over the final fee on Sunday.

After a tough campaign, Kalajdzic piqued the attention of a number of top clubs in his maiden Bundesliga campaign in 2020-21. Also Premier League clubs have been alerted of the striker's situation at VFB, as he has just one year on his Bundesliga contract. Sven Mislintat, the Stuttgart sports director, is hoping that if the Austrian stay in southwest Germany after the transfer deadline, he will sign a contract extension, but VFB will be required to put off growing interest from both continents.
