With the countdown on to a home World Cup in the summer of 2026, who will be chosen to take on captaincy duties for the USMNT? There are several prominent candidates in the running there, with Tyler Adams back in contention having filled the armband at Qatar 2022. Freddy Adu has revealed his pick to GOAL, with a Landon Donovan comparison being used to explain why Christian Pulisic may be overlooked.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic decided against bringing his unique brand of “chaos” to the dugout as a coach, with former AC Milan team-mate Massimo Ambrosini telling GOAL why “ego” management led the enigmatic Swede down a different path. The former striker, who retired at the age of 41, is now working as an advisor to the Rossoneri board at San Siro.
Christian Pulisic has reached double figures again on the goal front for AC Milan this season, but the USMNT star has gone 12 games without finding the target and has drawn a complete blank since the turn of the calendar year. The American forward remains a talismanic presence for the Rossoneri, but club legend Massimo Ambrosini has told GOAL why end product has dried up in 2026.
