Botev Plovdiv Overview

Justin Ellis' winner capped a perfect four-game window, Alex Freeman impressed and Cole Campbell finally made his debut. Yunus Musah, however, struggled to find his place in Mauricio Pochettino's side.

The Philadelphia Union teenager's movement and pressing show why his USMNT breakthrough is about more than one spectacular goal. The challenge is balancing freedom with restraint.

"Every game is critical," says Pochettino as USMNT kick off four fall friendlies against Peru, Chile, Mexico and Canada, with a young, refreshed roster and a teenage sensation closing in on his senior debut.

Alexis Sanchez will need to “adapt to the cold” in Quebec, former Montreal star Bacary Sagna has admitted to GOAL, but the ex-Barcelona, Arsenal and Manchester United forward is being backed to star in MLS alongside Lionel Messi and Co. The veteran Chilean attacker has become the latest household name to go chasing the dream in North America.
