Welcome back, Mane Landers! We continue to get closer to the start of the season, though there’s still plenty of other soccer going on, thanks to the European leagues, and the U.S. national teams. There’s also plenty of off-season stuff we can continue to follow. For now, here are some things that I think were worthy of discussing.
The Gregg Berhalter era as USMNT head coach started with a stunning 3-0 victory over Panama on Sunday. Michael Bradley and Gyasi Zardes were in the starting 11, but it was all young guys on the scoreboard. Djordje Mihailovic, Walker Zimmerman, and Christian Ramirez all scored for the Yanks, with Ramirez scoring his goal five minutes after he made his national team debut.
