Sargent makes it two goals in two games to start season
The Norwich City striker made it two goals from two games on Tuesday, scoring against Watford in the Carabao Cup.
Sargent helped force a turnover high up the pitch in the 10th minute, then clinically finished off a cross from Papa Amadou Diallo with a low left-footed strike.
Norwich went on to win the match 2-1, advancing to the second round.
Sargent also scored on Saturday as Norwich began its Championship campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Millwall.
The 25-year-old's future is a major topic of conversation with the summer transfer window still open for another three weeks.
The U.S. men's national team forward was closing in on a move to Wolfsburg last month, but the deal didn't go through at the last minute.
Norwich midfielder Jacob Wright said after the Millwall match that he was hopeful Sargent would stay at least one more season.
"Josh is invaluable to us. He is the best striker in the league. I think that's why so many teams are keen on taking him and why we're so keen to try and keep him," Wright said.
"Josh is an excellent player and a great captain."
Sargent has 48 goals over 133 appearances with the Canaries. The Missouri native has not found the net since 2019 for the U.S. men's national team, however, and was left off Mauricio Pochettino's Gold Cup roster this summer.

WATCH: USMNT's Christian Pulisic scores Coppa Italia goal for AC Milan, set up by Mexico star Santi Gimenez
Pulisic scores for Milan First goal of new season Played 66 minutes in cup clash Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Christian Pulisic scored his first competitive goal of the season as the U.S. men's national team star netted Milan's second in a Coppa Italia clash with Bari on Sunday. Pulisic's goal came just minutes into the second half with Milan already holding a 1-0 lead. Set up by Mexico star Santi Gimenez, Pulisic took a touch, turned and placed a shot into the back of the net, doubling Milan's lead while giving his side plenty of breathing room against their Serie B opponent. WATCH THE VIDEO THE BIGGER PICTURE Pulisic's goal comes amid headlines around the American star thanks to the release of the latest episodes of his PULISIC docuseries on Paramount+. Pulisic, his father and USMNT teammate Tim Weah took aim at the former national team players who have criticized them, particularly over the last year. Additionally, Pulisic discussed his thoughts on legacy and how he wants to change the perception of American soccer. Pulisic's decision to skip the Gold Cup was controversial, at least partly because it came after such a strong season with Milan as he scored 17 goals while providing 10 assists, too, in all competitions. He's off to a good start this season, too, with Sunday's goal. WHAT NEXT FOR AC MILAN? Following Sunday's Coppa Italia match, Milan will look ahead to the start of the Serie A season. They'll kick off on Saturday at home as they play host to Cremonese.

LIV Golf Indianapolis: Jon Rahm Shoots 60, Claims Individual Championship
LIV Golf LIV Golf Indianapolis: Jon Rahm Shoots 60, Claims Individual Championship Published Aug. 17, 2025 5:12 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link WESTFIELD, Ind. – In the final round at LIV Golf Indianapolis, Legion XIII Captain Jon Rahm chased down Torque GC Captain Joaquin Niemann to become the 2025 season-long Individual Champion. Rahm's stellar 11-under 60, his lowest round of the season, got him into a playoff with Sebastián Muñoz for the event title, which Muñoz won on the first playoff hole. But it wasn't enough to keep Rahm from claiming the season-long Individual Championship. Rahm has now finished the season at the top of the standings in both of his seasons with LIV Golf. Muñoz, who on Friday shot the first 59 in professional golf history that included a double-bogey, shot a final round 6-under 65 before winning the playoff. Despite having five wins this season, Niemann came up short in the season-long race against Rahm. Niemann shot a 5-under 66, which wasn't quite enough to fend off Rahm's thunderous charge. Torque GC earned their first team victory since LIV Golf Greenbrier in 2023. The team shot a cumulative score of 64-under for the week, which was the lowest overall team score in LIV Golf history, beating the previous record of 53-under. ADVERTISEMENT Throughout the final round, Majesticks GC co-captains Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and Ian Poulter, as well as HyFlyers GC teammates Andy Ogletree and Brendan Steele, and Mito Pereira of Torque competed fiercely in the relegation race. Ultimately, Stenson, Ogletree, and Pereira could not climb out of the Drop Zone and now face relegation from the LIV Golf League for 2026. Poulter surged with birdies on four of his final five holes at LIV Golf Indianapolis, narrowly escaping the Drop Zone. His late charge, however, pushed his teammate Stenson into the dreaded relegation zone. TEAM SCORES LIV Golf's new scoring format this season now involves all four scores now counting in every round in the team competition. Here are the results and scores for each team after Sunday's Round 3 of LIV Golf Indianapolis. This piece is courtesy of Mike McAllister in partnership with LIV Golf .

Pulisic Controversy Has Turned Into A USMNT Off-The-Field Soap Opera
From now until the end of the 2026 World Cup, there will be an intriguing generational competition concerning the U.S. Men's National Team. No, not inside the team, but heroes of the past and the current squad. It has turned into an interesting off-the-field, he-said, he-said soap opera. The most recent bruhaha came after U.S. standout Christian Pulisic decided to sit out the team's involvement in the Concacaf Gold Cup, saying that he needed a rest after a grueling Serie A season for A.C. Milan. He got slammed by critics, including former USMNT stars that have a voice on TV, streaming, podcasts and blogs. His critics have included Landon Donovan, Alexi Lalas and Tony Meola, among others, who have shared their thoughts, opinions and analysis. Donovan makes his point "This is what it means to represent your country," Donovan said on the FOX broadcast of the UEFA Nations League final in June. He then citied Portugal superstar Ronaldo, who is 40 years old. "He's played a long season. He's tired," Donovan added. "He's out there grinding, hurt himself in the process. And I can't help but think about some of our guys on vacation, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It's p---ing me off." It should be noted that Donovan took time off from the national team in 2013. Pulisic makes his point In the latest episode of the docuseries PULISIC, the talented forward claimed that his critics 'disrespected me in a lot of ways, and just completely forgotten about what I've done for this national team." Pulisic, who turns 27 on Sept. 18, made his international debut in 2016. He has become the team's talisman, making 78 appearances while scoring 32 goals, a current team high. "To talk about my commitment? The commitment that I've given to this game? That I've given to my national team, you know, for 10 years?" said on docuseries. "I have paid the price. That's the only thing that starts to get on my nerves. But to be honest, it just fuels me to get back on the field and just shut everyone up and show everyone what I'm about, at the end of the day." Weah isn't happy Wait! It doesn't stop with Pulisic. USMNT teammate Tim Weah, who recently completed a transfer from Juventus to Marseille, called the former players who have dared to criticize the team as "evil." That's right, evil. "I think those guys are chasing checks, and for me, I just feel like they're really evil, honestly, because they've been players and they know what it's like when you're getting bashed," Weah said. Those are the same guys that'll turn around and shake your hand and try to be friends with you at the end of the day. "Don't get me wrong, I respect all of them. They were players that I looked up to. But quite frankly, the guys before us didn't win anything, either." Well, the earlier generations did set the table for the current team. Meola, for example, backstopped the U.S. in its first World Cup appearance in 40 years in 1990. But we'll have to do a U.S. soccer history in another piece. Mark Pulisic defends his son It should not come as a surprise that Pulisic's father, Mark, a former pro soccer player himself, backed his son. "These guys want clicks," he said. "On social media, it's 'subscribe to my channels, listen to my podcasts,' or whatever. I think they should look in the mirror and look at their last performances for the national team before they start talking s#@t." Lalas' response Those remarks opened the door for a response from Lalas on Fox and Meola on the Call It What You Want podcast on CBS Sports. Lalas wrote "don't bring your dad to a fight. I get that Mark Pulisic, like other dads out there, has been involved directly in bringing up, in this case, Christian. I get that he's a former coach. But who brings their dad to a fight? If you're angry at me or Landon or anybody else that is being critical of you, that's fine. You have a platform, you have a microphone – some would say bigger than anybody else out there – to get that off your chest, but you don't need to bring your dad. "Never once has it even occurred to have my father defend me from the slings and arrows that are inevitable but well done. You got me to watch, and you got exactly what you wanted." Meola has his say Meola and Mark Pulisic were teammates on the Oceanside Navahos team that captured the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association Boys Under-19 crown in 1987. Pulisic scored twice that day, including a late game-winner in a 2-1 triumph over B.W. Gottschee. 'I've been friends with Mark Pulisic for a long time. We played together at the youth level. You gotta stay out, Mark," Meola said. 'I know you're a dad, I know you get emotional, your kid is at the top of the heap, right? I've got other friends in other major sports in America that their kids right now are in top of the heap. They listen to this all the time about their kids. You can't respond. "Stay out. Christian is a big boy. He will be able to do this on his own. He will be able to carry this team.' This criticism and replies aren't about to go away anytime soon, if ever. The U.S. men have two friendlies coming up during the September FIFA international window against a pair of top-flight Asian sides. The Americans will face the Korea Republic at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, N.J. on Sept. 6 before meeting Japan at Field in Columbus, Ohio on Sept. 9. Like it or not, Pulisic and his teammates will be under the microscopic and then some in those friendlies and anything concerning club or country from now until the end of the European domestic season in May and the first part of the Major League Soccer campaign before it takes its World Cup break. And those criticisms and opinions won't stop with the end of the World Cup. In the media environment that we live in today, it likely will continue forever. Who knows? After this generation of USMNT players retire, they might find themselves in a similar situation when they become media pundits and get an opportunity to share their opinions, criticisms and analysis about another generation.
