6 d. ago Farewell McKennie and Weah in chaos: Predictions for USMNT players abroad this season

After an offseason full of transfer intrigue, Americans in Europe are looking to make their final push for a World Cup roster spot. Our experts have some predictions to share. Sergiño Dest at PSV.

Marseille, Monaco, Nice, Lille and Lyon face economic realities that do not concern the European championsBy Get French Football NewsIf Europe’s elite could not contain Paris Saint-Germain last season, what chance is there for Ligue 1’s impoverished chasing pack? Before the season has even started, their rivals seem to have already submitted to this logic. Never have PSG felt more untouchable than they do now. Chelsea found the recipe for dismantling Luis Enrique’s machine but the rest of Europe floundered last season. Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Arsenal and Milan all fell by the wayside as PSG were crowned European champions.That success came at a time when PSG had never looked more vulnerable under Qatar Sports Investments ownership. Despite their prodigious talents, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi were symptoms of the wider ills of the club’s management. But they ensured one thing: that PSG were unshakeable favourites in every domestic game...
