Europe’s best continue to try to perfect their World Cup plans this week as the UEFA Nations League group stage comes to a close.
Wednesday offers a rivalry showdown between Spain and Portugal, and control of their group is on the line along with claiming some power in their last respective showings before kicking things off in Qatar.
England’s woes continued over the weekend, and a showdown with Germany on Monday could spell more trouble for the Three Lions’ confidence after being relegated by a not-so-fearsome Italian side over the weekend.
Not an entirely different topic, plenty of eyes will be on the U.S. men’s national team’s rebound effort against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. Friday’s stunning 2-0 defeat from Japan shows the injury-laden Americans have ways to go before thinking their floor is higher than other nations’ ceilings.
The lone MLS tilt this week is a big one.
The Seattle Sounders are next on the Western Conference’s cutting board in terms of playoff elimination, but it still feels odd to think they’re incapable of pulling a rabbit out of the hat and surging back up. They host FC Cincinnati on Wednesday, and the Orange and Blue are on the opposite end of the momentum spectrum as they are one of the teams on the cusp of clinching an Eastern Conference playoff ticket.
