The Italian National team 🇮🇹 failed to qualify for their third straight World Cup after losing in PK’s to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Where does Italy go from here?

During the international window, the USMNT fell to both Belgium and Portugal. What did we see from the National Team? Do we need to temper our expectations going into the World Cup in June?

Should NYCFC make a push to sign a star player before they debut at Etihad Park? Mo Salah is leaving Liverpool this summer and Bernardo Silva is also expected to leave Manchester City. @mattdoyle.bsky.social wants to see NYCFC go out and sign a big name to take the club to the next level in MLS.

Egyptian 🇪🇬 forward Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool this summer, but @tombogert.bsky.social reports there are currently no talks between Salah and San Diego FC. 🟧 San Diego’s owner Mohamed Mansour is a billionaire Egyptian so the links are there. Should SD make a push for the star Egyptian?

Matt Turner played the full 90 minutes for the United States in the 5-2 loss to Belgium on Saturday, while Matt Freese is expected to play against Portugal. Was Turner auditioning for a chance to win back the starting spot in the World Cup or has Matt Freese already cemented his spot as the No. 1?

Christian Pulisic was moved inside the midfield during the second half of the USMNT’s 🇺🇸 friendly against Belgium after playing out wide in the first half. Do you think playing central fits Pulisic better for the national team?

Big names can change momentum for a club… But is signing Griezmann the right move for a struggling Orlando City or should they focus on a complete roster rebuild? @empiregass.bsky.social @mattdoyle.bsky.social
