There are questions to be asked about the USMNT, and plenty of storylines from top South American teams with the tournament looming.

Tottenham threw away two huge points in their fight for Premier League survival as they were held to a 1-1 draw by already-safe Leeds on Monday night. Spurs looked on course for a crucial victory when Mathys Tel fired home an unstoppable strike shortly after half-time, but the Frenchman turned villain when he conceded a needless penalty to gift the visitors a route back into the game with 20 minutes to play, and Roberto De Zerbi's side were unable to find a winner.

GOAL breaks down what players and situations will be a bit concerning on the road to the World Cup.

The LA Galaxy got a timely victory, and Inter Miami continued their strong road form in another compelling week of MLS.

The history of football is littered with fateful moments that convince you a certain outcome is a foregone conclusion, and we can now add Arsenal's seismic victory over West Ham to that long list. The Gunners required a late goal and probably the most contentious Premier League VAR review of all time to battle past the relegation-threatened Hammers in a ridiculously dramatic conclusion to the London derby. Surely, SURELY it is going to be their year?!

The Bosman ruling revolutionised football in 1995. It shifted the balance of power in favour of the players and drove the professionalisation of the sport. Hardly anyone remembers the player behind the ruling. Part 13 of our Rebel United series.

In 2016, Thomas Tuchel planned to convert Dario Scuderi into BVB's new right-back. A serious injury nearly ended the youngster's career, threatening to cost him his leg. Today, Scuderi works as a scout for Dortmund.

First his father's death, then the title with Barça: Hansi Flick won hearts on an emotional day.

It's official: Barcelona are La Liga champions once again - and in the end it was all very predictable. The runaway leaders only needed a point as the fixture schedule gave them the unique opportunity to retain their crown against Real Madrid in El Clasico, but they never looked like settling for a draw against their rudderless rivals, who are in the midsts of a dressing room crisis. The victory was swift and brutal, as Hansi Flick's side required just 20 minutes to put the game and the title beyond their old foes at Spotify Camp Nou.

Now in their second consecutive season without a title, Real Madrid are sinking deeper into off-field chaos. Who can halt this self-destruction?

GOAL reviews the major takeaways from Americans playing in Europe, including Pulisic and AC Milan facing the prospect of missing the Champions League...again.

Vinicius Jr went missing and Real Madrid turned in a spirited yet ineffective performance against Barcelona, losing 2-0 and watching their rivals lift the league trophy in the process. Los Blancos were outplayed throughout, and could never recover from an early deficit in a game that more or less summed up the massive gulf in quality between the two teams.

Barcelona retained their league title in dream circumstances on Sunday night, comprehensively defeating fierce rivals Real Madrid in El Clasico on home soil. La Liga's runaway leaders only needed a point from the showdown at Spotify Camp Nou and would have expected a stern contest against their old foes, but in truth this was a routine victory over a Madrid side in disarray after a week of chaos behind the scenes.

Sam Coffey lifted the WSL trophy with Manchester City, Lindsey Heaps scored as OL Lyonnes won the Coupe de France, and Emily Fox helped Arsenal cruise past Aston Villa.

As Chelsea and Man City prepared to face off in the Women's FA Cup semi-finals on Sunday, all the talk was about Khadija Shaw. The striker is out of contract in Manchester in a few weeks' time and all the talk is that she will be leaving, with Chelsea in hot pursuit of his signature. So, of course, Shaw took centre stage at Stamford Bridge, scoring twice to knock the Blues out of the competition and send City to Wembley in a dramatic 3-2 win that will go down as a cup classic.

Arsenal took a giant step towards the Premier League title as they secured an incredibly dramatic 1-0 win at West Ham on Sunday, with Leandro Trossard scoring a late winner before the hosts had what they thought was a stoppage-time equaliser ruled out following a VAR check for the ages. It looked like Callum Wilson had struck a dagger to the Gunners’ title hopes when he fired home with seconds remaining but, after an agonisingly lengthy review, the goal was ruled out for a foul on David Raya - much to the disgust of the relegation-threatened Hammers.

GOAL spoke to U.S. Women's National Team head coach Emma Hayes about what the USWNT are doing to support moms and their return to play.

The 2006-born striker is the goalscorer propelling Fiorentina's Primavera side.

Bayern Munich's Saturday-night trip to Wolfsburg proved both familiar and remarkable. The story even developed further once the final whistle had blown.

The Argentine was at his very best on Saturday as he ran circles around a weakened TFC team and made history in the process.

Manchester City kept up the pressure on Arsenal in the title race as they secured a hard-fought 3-0 win over Brentford on Saturday. Second-half goals from Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush helped Pep Guardiola's side close the gap on the league-leading Gunners to two points ahead of Mikel Arteta's men travelling to take on West Ham on Sunday.

Manchester United limped to a 0-0 draw against Sunderland on Saturday as Michael Carrick's side put in a performance that lacked energy on a wet and windy day on Wearside. With Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko absent due to injury, the Red Devils struggled to get a grip on the game, and were indebted to goalkeeper Senne Lammens for making two excellent saves to preserve their clean sheet.

In the second instalment of Matchday Ready presented by Dawn, GOAL takes a look at one of the league’s most passionate supporters with the Seattle Sounders.

Chelsea brought an end to their run of Premier League losses as they battled back to earn a 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Saturday. Enzo Fernandez's free-kick earned Calum McFarlane's side a point on Merseyside, though their hopes of sneaking into the Champions League via a sixth-placed finish continue to fade away after failing to record a much-needed victory.

Liverpool's charge for Champions League football hit a slight bump in the road on Saturday as struggling Chelsea fought back to secure a 1-1 draw and a valuable point at Anfield. Ryan Gravenberch opened the scoring with a wonderful strike early on, but the Reds' dominance waned after that, with a porous defence allowing the Blues back into a game their hosts let get away.

In a few weeks' time, Sam Kerr's Chelsea contract will come to its end. After six-and-a-half years, 156 appearances and 114 goals, which have helped deliver 12 trophies, it looks like this month will be her last in Chelsea blue. If it is, Kerr will leave as the club's all-time top goal-scorer in the Women's Super League and a genuine legend - but there is still time to add to that legacy yet.

Maximilian Beier's World Cup inclusion with BVB remains uncertain, yet the 23-year-old boasts the strongest statistics among his rivals.

BVB beat Eintracht Frankfurt in the match that saw Brandt, Süle and Özcan leave the club. As a result, Dortmund secured the runners-up spot ahead of schedule.
