🔬 Surveying the USMNT's center-forward options ahead of 2026
It was so nearly a summer of celebration for Mauricio Pochettino and the United States Men's National Team, with the host nation coming up short in the final of the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup against bitter regional rival Mexico. An early strike from Chris Richards was cancelled out by Raúl Jiménez and Edson Álvarez as El Tri secured back-to-back tournament wins, ultimately leaving more questions that need answering by Pochettino before the 2026 World Cup. On the surface, a run to the final with a squad that many fans and pundits alike deem to have been, at best, a 'B-tier' outfit, is hardly a sob story worth lamentations. But apart from a tournament-opening 5-0 thrashing of Trinidad & Tobago, each of the subsequent five fixtures were decided by one-goal margin, while the US also needed to rely on shootout heroics to get past Costa Rica in the quarter-finals. More frustrating is the reality that despite the US ending the tournament with 13 goals, budding midfield pair Diego Luna and Malik Tillman led the side with three goals each, with Richards' two goals level with Charlotte's Patrick Agyemang's total tournament tally. This, expectedly, threw further questions into the fire when it comes to who the US can look to as their attacking focal point up front. And it is arguably the most important question of all for the Stars and Stripes (outside of the goalkeeper debate), given the realities of tournament play. To have any chance of pulling together what could hopefully be described as a successful World Cup campaign, most nations can always fall back on a key goalscoring threat at center-forward. England relies heavily on Harry Kane (and others), France can boast Kylian Mbappé, Spain increasingly turns to Mikel Oyarzabal in that role, and Ronaldo still starts centrally for Portugal. Further still, the likes of Sweden and Norway are grateful to have Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland, and even Mexico can be confident with Jiménez leading the line. At current, no such figure truly exists for the United States, and the hope across the upcoming 2025/26 club season is that someone, somewhere, will find form before the world's focus once again shifts to American shores. But who will it be? Patrick Agyemang Let's stay with the aforementioned Agyemang to start the discussion, with the 24-year-old recently securing a summer move to Championship outfit Derby County. His story is one worth diving into, but despite his rapid rise at MLS side Charlotte FC, and what is currently a solid goal return of five goals in 12 appearances for the US, his inconsistency in front of goal has left many fans frustrated while routinely debating just how good he could become once he goes through a period of heavy refinement. Brian White Then there's Brian White: a key attacking catalyst for the Vancouver Whitecaps under Jesper Sørensen. White, 29, is already in his prime years as a footballer and has looked the real deal in the Pacific Northwest since leaving the NY Red Bulls and smashing 56 goals in 128 appearances in MLS over the last four-and-a-half seasons at BC Place. His form in front of goal for the Whitecaps has yet to make the jump to the international stage, however, with White hitting the back of the net on just a single occasion in eight appearances, while likely completely ruling himself out of the conversation. Damion Downs The third center-forward in the US team for the Gold Cup was youngster Damion Downs, with the 21-year-old German-born striker riding his wave high after a very solid season with 2. Bundesliga outfit FC Köln. Confirmed to be on his way to the Championship in a move to Southampton, Downs is another potential diamond in the rough for Poch. Though hitting the match-winning penalty against Costa Rica will gift him some grace, it is far too soon to truly include him in the current debate. And now we come to some of the star names of the US National Team pool; players that Pochettino was unable to call upon this summer, but is near-guaranteed to have at his disposal less than twelve months from now. Monaco's Folarin Balogun, PSV's Ricardo Pepi, and Coventry's Haji Wright are all sure to be considered, while Norwich's Josh Sargent could have a pathway to turn Poch's head in due course. Perhaps the most surprising aspect is the fact that Pepi boasts the best strike rate of those mentioned, with 13 goals in 33 appearances (0.39 goals/match) that easily eclipses that of both Balogun and Wright (0.29 goals/match). Sargent, who had long been one of the great hopes for the national team program, has never been able to find his feet in a US kit, managing just 5 goals in 28 appearances (0.17 goals/match). With Pepi now back in training with PSV after recovering from a long-term knee injury, should the 22-year-old get back to the type of form that saw him hit 11 goals in 18 Eredivisie appearances before getting crocked, that could, along with once again featuring in the Champions League, be enough for his CV to top the pile on Poch's desk. Balogun struggles to see consistent minutes along the French Riviera, and despite Sargent's consistent rate of return at Carrow Road, he seems very much outside of the current planning process. All told, football is always a waiting game. As endless possibilities that can, and likely will, present themselves over the coming months, finding a reliable striker to lead the line would go a long way in quelling fan angst ahead of the World Cup while applying a bit of aloe on current wounds inflicted by El Tri. 📸 Tim Warner - 2025 Getty Images

Judge denies 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports' request to race with charters
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday rejected a request from 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports to continue racing with charters while they battle NASCAR in court, meaning their six cars will race as open entries this weekend at Dover, next week at Indianapolis and perhaps longer than that in a move the teams say would put them at risk of going out of business. U.S. District Judge Kenneth Bell denied the teams' bid for a temporary restraining order, saying they will make races over the next couple of weeks and they won't lose their drivers or sponsors before his decision on a preliminary injunction. Bell left open the possibility of reconsidering his decision if things change over the next two weeks. After this weekend, the cars affected may need to qualify on speed if 41 entries are listed — a possibility now that starting spots have opened. 23XI, which is co-owned by retired NBA great Michael Jordan, and FRM filed their federal suit against NASCAR last year after they were the only two organizations out of 15 to reject NASCAR's extension offer on charters. The case has a Dec. 1 trial date, but the two teams are fighting to be recognized as chartered for the current season, which has 16 races left. A charter guarantees one of the 40 spots in the field each week, but also a base amount of money paid out each week. Jordan and FRM owner Bob Jenkins won an injunction to recognize 23XI and FRM as chartered for the season, but the ruling was overturned on appeal earlier this month, sending the case back to Bell. Three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin co-owns 23XI with Jordan and said they were prepared to send Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace and Riley Herbst to the track each week as open teams. They sought the restraining order Monday, claiming that through discovery they learned NASCAR planned to immediately begin the process of selling the six charters which would put 'plaintiffs in irreparable jeopardy of never getting their charters back and going out of business.' 'This is a fair and significant fear; however, NASCAR has agreed that it 'will not sell any charters before the court can rule on plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction,'' Ball wrote. 'Similarly, plaintiffs worry that denying them guaranteed entry into the field for upcoming races could adversely impact their competitive standing, including their ability to earn a spot in the playoffs. Again, a legitimate, potentially irreparable harm. Yet, akin to the sale of charters, NASCAR represents to the court that all of plaintiffs' cars will qualify (if they choose to race) for the races in Dover and Indianapolis that will take place during the next 14 days.' Making the field won't be an issue this weekend at Dover as fewer than the maximum 40 cars are entered. But should 41 cars show up anywhere this season, someone slow will be sent home and that means lost revenue and a lost chance to win points in the standings. Reddick was last year's regular season champion and raced for the Cup Series championship in the season finale. But none of the six drivers affected by the court ruling are locked into this year's playoffs. ___ AP auto racing: Jenna Fryer, The Associated Press

T.J. Watt deal gives Steelers a sure thing before season of uncertainty
The Pittsburgh Steelers were never going to trade their star pass rusher, T.J. Watt. They were never going to allow a holdout by Watt to further disrupt a training camp that already is going to be uniquely challenging, as quarterback Aaron Rodgers settles in with his third NFL team. And they ensured all of that Thursday by agreeing to a contract extension with Watt, making him the league's highest-paid non-quarterback.
