USMNT Abroad: Pulisic skies penalty vs McKennie, Dest returns while Jedi Robinson sits

From Serie A to the Championship, this week’s USMNT Abroad is packed with drama, goals, and global headlines. In Italy, Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie faced off in Juventus vs AC Milan’s scoreless draw. Pulisic’s rare penalty miss ended his perfect start to the year. Over in Germany, Noahkai Banks scored his first-ever Bundesliga goal in front of his entire family. Does he deserve a call-up in the November window? In the Netherlands, Sergiño Dest returned for PSV, going 73 strong minutes, while Ricardo Pepi was left off the bench. 

EPL delivered chaos as Tyler Adams helped Bournemouth climb into UCL contention, Chris Richards went the distance for Palace, and Brenden Aaronson started in Leeds’ narrow loss to Spurs. Are we hitting the panic button over Jedi Robinson’s situation with Fulham? In the Championship, Haji Wright stayed scorching hot, while Josh Sargent continues to slide.

We also hit on Philadelphia’s Supporters’ Shield win, Messi’s hat-trick of assists, and UEFA’s controversial decision to approve domestic league games abroad, including LA Liga games in the United States.
