For Toronto FC coach Chris Armas, Saturday s visit to face the New York Red Bulls represents a trip down Memory Lane and a chance to see his family. First and foremost I get to see my wife and my children, said Armas, a father of two who served as Red Bulls head coach from July 2018 to September 2020 after being elevated from assistant coach. I haven t seen my children in three months or so. My wife came to Canada just for a short stretch there. That s probably the top of the list.

Not everyone who was supposed to play today got the opportunity to do so, as fan protests at Manchester United’s Old Trafford resulted in the game between United and Liverpool being postponed, all while Premier League teams and players went dark as an act of resistance against the constant and ceaseless onslaught of racist abuse in particular on social media.

I don’t think one of these has been posted in a while and the last few days have been pretty good for the USMNT, so I thought now was as good of a time as any. Usually there are at least a handful of people interested.
One cool stat, as of 5 days ago, is that in the top 5 leagues of Europe, the United States is:
- 5th in minutes played u20 players (ahead of Italy, one of the countries that has a top 5 league)
