NWSL
Over 50,000 people expected for this NWSL game. That's going to break the single game NWSL attendance record.
Kansas City were widely regarded as the best team in the league coming into the year... and it doesn't seem like they've really found the answers.
USMNT vs Belgium
I am increasingly concerned with just how many talented players Belgium has in the attack up against the US defense that I just don't believe in, especially at the moment, especially without Tyler Adams.
Uruguay national team
It feels like it's teetering on the brink for Bielsa where it could go one of two directions: one, they have an excellent World Cup and he proves himself as an excellent coach; the other one is it kind of blows up at the World Cup or even before the tournament.
USMNT tactical analysis
If it's not Pulisic, maybe it's Reyna or maybe Berhalter somehow ends up as a starter. I don't know what this is going to look like, but if we're going to see change, it kind of has to happen now on the set piece front.
USMNT squad selection
The clarity on the striker depth chart after Balogun is basically non-existent.
England national team
Thomas Tuchel has called up a giant 35-man squad for this game. He clearly wants to have a final look at a few players. And I think there are some questions to be settled before the World Cup in terms of their lineup.
Mexico national team
I think there's a lot to be interested in with this Mexico team under Javier Aguirre. You have a lot of very familiar names back in this team... Memo Ochoa, Jesus Gallardo, Raul Jimenez. You've got the veteran players, but then you've got youngsters coming through.
NWSL player spotlight
Melissa Kostler came in from the Bundesliga. She's just been absolutely dominating games... she could be a legitimate star in this league that people will know sooner than later.
Spanish football
Malaga is currently one point out of the automatic qualification spots in the Segunda Division. We could have a couple of big clubs, traditionally big clubs... back in the top flight of Spain.
