		<content:encoded><![CDATA[
				    U.S. Men's National Team Training Base (IRVINE, Calif.) — It’s been perhaps the biggest problem for the United States men’s soccer team since the Stars and Stripes returned to the World Cup in 1990 following a 40-year absence: Scoring. The U.S. managed three goals in four games at Qatar 2022. In the 27 World Cup matches before that, they netted just 25. Compounding this problem is the fact that many of those tallies didn’t come from the American strikers, but from wingers or midfielders or even defenders. In fact, only four dedicated frontrunners — not hybrid attackers like the country's all-time top scorers, Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan — have converted for the USA at the World Cup in the modern era: Eric Wynalda, Brian McBride, Clint Mathis and Haji Wright. That’s it. There is reason to believe that this World Cup will be different. All three strikers on Mauricio Pochettino’s roster for this summer’s tourney are coming off prolific seasons in Europe. Folarin Balogun led the way with 19 goals for French Ligue 1 side AS Monaco, including five in the UEFA Champions League. Ricardo Pepi also had 19, averaging a goal every 89 minutes for Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven. And Wright, the lone holdover up top from four years ago, managed 18, helping Coventry City clinch promotion to the English Premier League. The U.S. will still need goals from other places, to be sure. Christian Pulisic is still the USA’s danger man. Weston McKennie is adept at arriving in the box at the perfect moment. And as we saw in the recent World Cup warm-ups against Senegal and Germany, fullbacks Antonee "Jedi" Robinson and Sergiño Dest can also contribute offensively. Still, when it comes to out-and-out strikers, coach Mauricio Pochettino is in an enviable position compared to his predecessors, who had a lot less to work with at the tip of the spear. The 24-year-old Balogun is projected to start when the U.S. kicks off its World Cup campaign on Friday against Paraguay in Los Angeles (kickoff at 9 p.m. ET on FOX and FOX One). "Being able to be able to hold the ball up and bring other players in, and then his movement in behind and getting himself into low scoring positions is something that we've been crying out for a long time," U.S. captain Tim Ream said of Balogun before Pochettino ran his squad through their paces Monday at the U.S. training base in Great Park. "He's probably the most annoying striker for me to have to deal with in training, because he is so quick with his movements and physically strong." Pepi, 23, and Wright, 27, offer other qualities. Pochettino recently called the former a "killer" in the box, while the latter can also drift out wide, pulling opponents with him. "The other guys are different profiles, different types of players," Ream said of Pepi and Wright. "You saw Pepi in the Senegal game bringing Christian into the play…they all bring different challenges as defenders." Goalkeepers, too. "All three of them are pretty good at scoring goals, I would say," joked Matt Freese, Pochettino’s presumed No. 1 goalkeeper. "I see that every single day." And all can be used in different situations. While Balogun will almost surely start on Friday, Pepi and Wright will feature heavily throughout the competition depending on match-ups, injuries or suspensions. Wright scored both U.S. goals in an exhibition win in October over Australia — who'll be the Americans' second group stage opponent this summer — while Pepi is well accustomed to a super-sub role. "My stats show that I’m an efficient player; whenever I’m on the pitch, I want to help and score goals," Pepi said Monday in Spanish. That's easier said than done, especially at the World Cup, where chances are notoriously difficult to come by. The U.S. must also shore things up defensively to succeed this summer, though Pochettino said on Monday that top center back Chris Richards (ankle injury) had returned to full contract and was working out normally with his teammates. Jedi also participated fully on Monday after limping out of Saturday's match versus the Germans, though midfielder Tyler Adams was limited to a gym session for what a team spokesperson called "load management" reasons. Nonetheless, Balogun, Pepi and Wright have all proven they can take advantage of opportunities if and when they arrive. They all have developed chemistry with Pulisic and the other players behind them, and with each other. "We have a group of very talented forwards," said Pepi, one of the final cuts in 2022. "We want the best for the national team, and we’re very excited and happy to be playing here in front of our fans. We prepare day by day; we train and spend a lot of time together off the pitch. And that really helps us when matchday arrives."

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[
				    The race for Julián Alvarez has taken an explosive turn as reports link the Atlético Madrid star with a controversial move across the capital. Speculation is mounting that the Argentine forward has become the primary target for Real Madrid president Florentino Perez in a deal that could rock La Liga. Agent addresses Bernabéu speculation The footballing world has been set ablaze by rumors that Alvarez could be the subject of a sensational cross-city switch. With Perez recently re-elected as Real Madrid president, talk of a "Galactico" signing has intensified, and many believe the Atlético Madrid forward fits the profile of a mystery €150 million target being discussed in boardroom circles. However, the player's representative has moved quickly to clarify the current state of play. Fernando Hidalgo, the agent managing the World Cup winner's career, was asked directly about the possibility of a move to the Santiago Bernabéu. He offered a blunt assessment of the situation, stating: "We have no information on the matter and no one has contacted us about it." The Hunt For A New Galactico Having already proved his worth in the Premier League and on the international stage, the Argentine is viewed as the ideal candidate to lead the line for a top-tier European giant for the next decade. The links have been further fueled by Perez’s desire to secure a marquee name who is young, established, and currently playing outside of the English top flight. While Atlético would be loath to lose their prize asset to their fiercest rivals, the financial figures being mentioned suggest that a formal approach could test the resolve of the Metropolitano hierarchy. Barcelona Also In The Running Real Madrid are not the only side keeping a close eye on the 24-year-old's situation. Barcelona have also been credited with a long-standing interest in the forward, viewing him as a potential long-term successor to their current attacking options. The prospect of a Clásico tug-of-war for Alvarez has only added more spice to an already complex transfer saga. While the agent’s comments indicate that no formal negotiations are currently underway, they haven't completely shut the door on a future move. Pressure Mounts On Atlético For Atléti, the noise surrounding their star man comes at a difficult time as they look to build a squad capable of competing for major honors. Losing Alvarez to either Real Madrid or Barcelona would represent a significant blow to Diego Simeone's plans, and the club are reportedly only willing to let him go for at least €150m. As the summer window approaches, the scrutiny on Alvarez will only increase. Whether he is indeed the €150m man Perez has in mind remains to be seen, but the silence from the player’s camp has now been broken, leaving the door ajar for further developments in what is fast becoming the biggest story in Spanish football. 2026 FIFA World Cup: How To Watch The World Cup will run from June 11–July 19, 2026. Spread across three countries, the tournament will culminate with the final on July 19 at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. All 104 tournament matches will air live across FOX and FS1 with every match streaming live and on-demand within both the FOX One and the FOX Sports apps.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[
				    Michael Olise completed his hat trick with a brilliant curler as France beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in its final World Cup warmup on Monday. It was also the last game on French soil for coach Didier Deschamps, who steps down following the World Cup after 14 years in charge of Les Bleus. He picked Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé in a glittering attack along with Olise and Désiré Doué. Olise netted from close range in the 43rd minute after Dembélé’s shot was blocked, then grabbed his second of the night in the 49th, blasting in from near the penalty spot after Northern Ireland failed to clear a cross from the right. Saving the best for last, the fleet-footed winger broke off the right wing and bent an unstoppable shot into the top left corner from 20 meters in the 75th. Olise grabbed 22 goals in all competitions for Bayern Munich this season and looks a certain World Cup starter for two-time champion France — the runner-up to Argentina four years ago — against Senegal on June 16 in New Jersey. After Olise's second goal, France's defense went napping in the northern city of Lille and Patrick Kelly tapped in a cross midway through the second half for Northern Ireland. Mbappé failed to add to his 56 international goals and remained one behind France's all-time highest scorer Olivier Giroud. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[
				    With the United States set for its World Cup opening match on Friday, what is exactly is required from star forward Christian Pulisic in order to make an impact this summer? Expect him to let his playing do the talking. "Christian Pulisic is never going to be the personality people want him to be, the leader people want him to be. He's going to lead by example," FOX Sports analyst Alexi Lalas told Colin Cowherd on Monday's edition of "The Herd." Following a narrow 2-1 loss to Germany in the final tune-up match before the World Cup, Lalas went on to predict how Pulisic will handle his role as the focal point of the American attack. When Cowherd questioned what kind of production is mandatory from Pulisic, Lalas countered that fans and media shouldn't wait for the star forward to transform into a vocal leader in front of the cameras. "He's not particularly gregarious or larger-than-life when you see him interviewed. He doesn't need to be that," Lalas added. Instead, Lalas thinks Pulisic's influence is completely tied to his play on the field. "He just needs to go on the field, take players one-on-one and in doing so, he's going to draw plenty of defenders, open up space for others and then, he's going to do what he's so good at doing: beating players and providing the assist or finishing off the goal," Lalas said. "He needs to be the star in the sense that he needs to dominate games. I think he can in this World Cup." No Longer Underdogs Lalas reiterated that because this modern roster has received backing and resources from a young age, the old safety net of hiding behind the underdog label has expired. "Ultimately, when it comes to this team, we should expect more from this U.S. team than we ever have in the past. I don't think that's irrational or unfair to do that. Not grumpy ‘old-manning’ this, but this is a generation that's been given absolutely everything from a very young age, and with that comes higher expectations," Lalas said.  "America, you should expect your team to win this group." If the U.S. takes care of business and wins Group B, which features Paraguay, Australia and Türkiye, the new 48-team tournament structure sets up a lighter path for the program in the single-elimination phase. "Now, you're in this Round of 32, in which you'd be playing a team that you're better than," Lalas pointed out. "We've never been in a men's World Cup where we're playing in a knockout game against a team that we're better than. You take care of business there, and you're back to the Round of 16." Should they navigate that unfamiliar territory as the hunted rather than the hunter, the unique advantage of playing on home soil could push the team into uncharted territory. "You need a little help from the soccer Gods there, but this team, especially with the magic of [home] World Cup ... you're in some rarified air." Cowherd didn't hesitate to drop a bold prediction of his own, projecting that the U.S. will not only advance from the group stage but win two games in the knockouts. "We’ve added [more] teams in this World Cup and they're not powerhouse teams," Cowherd noted. "There are some wins here potentially on the docket." 2026 FIFA World Cup: How To Watch The World Cup will run from June 11–July 19, 2026. Spread across three countries, the tournament will culminate with the final on July 19 at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. All 104 tournament matches will air live across FOX and FS1 with every match streaming live and on-demand within both the FOX One and the FOX Sports apps.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[
				    Ever wonder how World Cup players get their numbers? There are actually rules and parameters regarding how each of the 26 players on the 48 teams at this summer's soccer extravaganza get assigned the numbers on their jerseys. Rules For Kit Numbers FIFA requires World Cup squads to be numbered from 1 to 26, with the No. 1 shirt exclusively belonging to a goalkeeper on the roster. That number is usually given to the first-choice keeper, while the other goalkeepers can wear any available number from Nos. 2 to 26. Interestingly enough, the expected starting goalkeeper for the U.S. men's national team, Matt Freese, was given No. 24. His backup, Matt Turner (who was the USA's starter in 2022), was given the No. 1 by USA manager Mauricio Pochettino. USA captain Tim Ream, who plays at the defender position, will wear No. 13. Players are also not allowed to switch squad numbers once the tournament begins, meaning the number assigned before the World Cup stays with them throughout the competition. Unlike club soccer, where players can often wear numbers up to 99, World Cup kit numbers are tied directly to the number of available roster spots. For the 2026 World Cup, that means 26 players and 26 numbers. Club teams usually have larger squads, youth academy players being promoted, and more movement across a season, which creates the need for a bigger pool of kit numbers. International tournaments are much more limited, so the numbering system is tighter and more straightforward. Numbers By Position Kit numbers also carry meaning because of soccer tradition. First-choice strikers typically wear the iconic No. 9 shirt, which is why Harry Kane will wear the number for England at his third World Cup. The No. 10 kit is often reserved for a nation’s biggest attacking star or most creative player, or at least the team's most established player. Lionel Messi (Argentina), Neymar (Brazil) and Luka Modrić (Croatia) will wear the No. 10 this summer. That is not always the case, though. Cristiano Ronaldo has built his legacy wearing No. 7, the number he has made famous throughout his career. For the USA, Christian Pulisic will wear No. 10, a kit number that has belonged to him since 2016, when he was just 17 years old. Weston McKennie will continue wearing No. 8 for the United States, while Ricardo Pepi will wear No. 9. Expected starting striker Folarin Balogun will wear No. 20. 2026 FIFA World Cup: How To Watch The World Cup will run from June 11–July 19, 2026. Spread across three countries, the tournament will culminate with the final on July 19 at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. All 104 tournament matches will air live across FOX and FS1 with every match streaming live and on-demand within both the FOX One and the FOX Sports apps.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[
				    LOS ANGELES — Denzel Boston wanted to play quarterback. His favorite player was Michael Vick, and he wore a Vick No. 7 jersey growing up in Puyallup, Washington, a half-hour drive south of Seattle. But as he took snaps from center in youth football under the watchful gaze of father Chris, Boston told me he wanted to wear receiver gloves like his older brother Andrew, who developed into a talented and productive receiver at Eastern Washington. Boston’s father wasn't having it. "I wanted to wear gloves, but my dad was like, ‘You’re not wearing gloves at quarterback,’" Boston told me recently at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere. "So, I switched to receiver." The move proved a wise choice for Boston, who developed into an explosive receiver for the University of Washington and was selected in the second round of this year’s draft by the Cleveland Browns. And over the last month, Boston has produced his fair share of highlight-reel plays during organized team activities for the Browns, creating a buzz for what the rookie can do once the season rolls around in September. At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, Boston’s size and physicality stand out at the next level. Boston routinely defeated smaller corners by bullying them at the catch point and snatching the ball away on contested catch opportunities in college. He finished with 125 catches for 1,715 yards and 20 touchdowns during his final two seasons for the Huskies. For Boston, the goal is to continue that dominant trend as a big-bodied, big-play receiver in the pros. "It comes when the DB is playing you tight, and you’ve got to swipe by with some type of hand-to-hand combat," Boston told me when asked about his physicality. "Or, you’ve got to shut him off to get that over-the-shoulder ball. I also think understanding your skill set is a big thing as well. I’m not a 5-11 receiver. I’m not going to move like one, either. So, it’s understanding that I have my dominant traits, and I need to use those dominant traits to empower myself on the field." Ricky Proehl, a former NFL receiver and current head coach of the UFL's St. Louis Battlehawks, worked with Boston in the lead-up to the draft. Proehl said Boston is a highly talented and motivated pass catcher who should blossom into a productive receiver at the next level. "He’s gifted. Great hands. Good route runner and explosive coming off the ball," Proehl told me. "He’s a big receiver with a big catching radius. The thing that impressed me the most is for a taller guy, he can drop his weight and change direction like a smaller guy. "You feel his explosiveness coming off the ball, but he can drop his weight and change direction. He’s special, and he can make an immediate impact." Proehl compared Boston to another physical freak coming out of college in former Pittsburgh Steeler Martavis Bryant. However, Proehl offered one weakness that Boston needs to work on — he cares too much. "I think the biggest thing he’s got to work on is he’s a perfectionist — which isn’t a bad thing as a receiver," Proehl told me. "I had those issues, because you want to run the perfect route every time, take a good angle coming out and you don’t want to slip on the route. But sometimes that’s going to happen, and you’ve got to let it go. "And sometimes he’s like, ‘Let me run it again.’ And I’m like, ‘Nah, you can’t run it again in a game. This is what you’re doing, and this is what you need to do. But forget it. It’s not that bad.' But I think he’s going to have a successful career. He’s a great kid. He works his tail off. And he’s going to make big plays." Boston said he looked to his older brother Andrew Boston for mentorship. Four years older than Denzel, the older Boston totaled 2,621 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns during his college career for the Eagles. "The main thing with him is he was always making sure I was working hard, keeping my head down," Boston told me about working with his older brother. "Whenever he would come home, he always had me at the field doing some kind of extra work, doing some type of catching drills. Just something that he felt like he missed out on when he was my age, that he just wanted to give back to me." Boston continued to get that mentorship in college, waiting his turn behind older receivers like Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan and Ja’Lynn Polk. Like Boston, all three of those receivers are playing in the NFL. "Having Rome there, who’s kind of built like me and moves in a similar way, really helped with my confidence – being able to take from him when it comes to matchups," Boston said. "And just having J-Mac (McMillan) also bringing me on the field and getting my feet right. He’s the one that brought me in and got my "Sweet Feet" on, is what I call it. And then with Ja’Lynn Polk, it was always just a mentality thing with him. The way he showed up every day, getting up early at the facility and always just challenging me every day, not only physically but mentally in the classroom." Boston joins fellow rookie receiver and first-round pick K.C. Concepcion on a Browns offense that includes receivers Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond, along with running backs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson and tight end Harold Fanin Jr. Cleveland also improved things up front with first-round draft pick Spencer Fano, along with free agent additions Zion Johnson and Elgton Jenkins. Of course, the Browns still must figure out who the starter will be at quarterback between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. And if neither of those two emerges, the Browns secured an extra first-round pick in next year’s draft by trading star edge rusher Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, giving them two first-round picks to chase a signal-caller of the future in next year’s talent-rich quarterback draft class. "Shedeur is a cool guy who brings high energy," Boston said about Sanders. "Whenever I see videos or clips of him, he always has high energy. He seems like he wants to be better each day, the way he works out when we’re in the facility and stuff like that. And he’s not afraid to help other people. Like, I remember we had a drill and he was like, ‘Hey, next time just take this up over here and I’m just going to launch that.’ And I was like, ‘All right, cool.’ He’s just showing up every day trying to get better. And he has a great attitude. "And there’s no doubts there at all about what Deshaun can do. Basically, he’s had some great years in Houston. He’s come into a rough patch right now, but there’s always light at the end of those tunnels. God always gives his toughest soldiers the strongest fights. I think whatever quarterback they decide to go with — and that goes for all four of them — are going to do well."

				    Passing the ball is just as important as scoring it. In the 2022 World Cup, Bruno Fernandes, Harry Kane, Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Ivan Perišić were all tied for the tournament lead in assists. In the 2024 European Championship, 18-year-old phenom Lamine Yamal led the tournament with four assists. At the time, he was only 16. Christian Pulisic enters the tournament with 19 career assists for the U.S. men's national team and is coming off a 2025-26 Serie A campaign in which he was one of just two players to post at least 10 goals and nine assists. So who will emerge as the tournament's top playmaker this summer? Let's take a look at the latest odds for the 2026 World Cup "Player to Assist Most Goals" market as of June 2.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[
				    Netherlands defender Jurrien Timber was ruled out of the World Cup on Monday because of a groin issue that had limited the 24-year-old Arsenal standout since mid-March. Timber managed to play 55 minutes for Arsenal in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain just over a week ago. But the highly-ranked Dutch team nevertheless decided that he would not be fit enough for the rigors of the World Cup. He was ruled out just as the Netherlands was preparing for its final warm-up match against Uzbekistan on Monday in New York. "The 24-year-old defender has not recovered sufficiently from a groin injury to take part in the World Cup in a medically responsible manner," the Dutch team announced in a statement. "In consultation with the medical staff, it has therefore been decided that Timber will leave the national team’s pre-camp in New York after the game against Uzbekistan." Timber will be replaced by Sunderland defender Lutsharel Geertruida, who had been on manager Ronald Koeman's stand-by list. The Dutch team will head to base camp in Kansas City, Missouri, after the match in New York. Its World Cup opener is June 14 against Japan in Dallas, followed by matches against Sweden on June 20 in Houston and Tunisia on June 25 in Kansas City. ___ Reported by the Associated Press.
