The fact that the US men's national team trained with Saudi Arabia is not enough. They did it in a less humid environment than a flat can of Coke, but it's not enough. They were not able to get the invite to what was effectively the Green Falcons' B-team, but it wasn't enough. It's because they did it while being offensively bankrupt, tactically disorganized, and as lost as a child is distracted by a shiny object at a county fair. In their last tune-up match in Murcia, which serves as home for a Spanish third division team, the United States appeared woefully unprepared on this stage.

The 20-year-old defender, who appeared in all four Croatia's games at Euro 2020, has piqued the attention of the west London club, who have reported a £78.5 million (€90 million) for his services. Gvardiol has piqued the attention of several of Europe's top sides, with the versatile defender able to play both center-back and left-back, and as such Leipzig has been aiming to lock him down until 2027. The Croatian hinted at a transfer to the Premier League in January 2019, adding: "I'm content at Leipzig, but I have a lot to learn and need to work on myself." I have people who deal with it, but I haven't considered a switch. We'll see what happens in the winter.'

Aaronson, who has played in six games this season, also has a song named after him by Leeds fans - an improved version of Estelle's 2008 hit - American Boy. Asked about Leeds' new life ahead of the USMNT's friendly fixtures against Japan (on Friday) and Saudi Arabia (on September 27, Aaronson said: "They [the supporters] know how much I work and how much I'm able to contribute, and I think they like that."

Yunus Musah's absence from USMNT camp has been described as 'a shame' by teammate Brenden Aaronson, as the midfielder was forced to withdraw from the team's friendlies against Japan and Saudi Arabia due to a left groin issue. Musah is a projected starter for this fall's World Cup and has played a key role for Valencia in the La Liga season, but the Stars and Stripes will be without him for their September tune-ups. Aaronson, a midfielder, told reporters Monday, 'It's apprehension that he didn't get into camp, I know all of us miss him.'

Leeds business went right to the wire in a tumultuous day of transfer negotiations around Europe. Gnonto, 18, has signed a five-year contract with the club. Since the player's deal with the Swiss club has come to an end, the club has been able to sign him for a relatively low price.
