GettyGOAL US writers discuss USMNT friendlies, MLS during international break, and an all-time great retiring
International breaks are supposed to be quiet and stress free. Not so fast. The USMNT's first duo of friendlies in the post-Gregg Berhalter, and presumably pre-Mauricio Pochettino era are half way done. And the first one didn't necessarily inspire confidence, a 2-1 loss to Canada at home raising more questions than it answered.
But with Pochettino reportedly soon to take the wheel, there might just be a very different-looking version of this side taking the pitch soon.
Meanwhile, Alex Morgan announced her retriment from soccer, one of the USWNT's great careers coming to a rather abrupt end. She will certainly go down as an all-time great.
And finally, MLS was thrown into chaos by being forced to play through an international break – bringing old debates about the calendar of the league to the fore once again.
It was a lot of noise for a supposedly quiet period, and the GOAL US writers break it all down in the latest edition of… The Rondo.
