Inside the money and ‘Miracle’ influence behind Mauricio Po

SAN FRANCISCO — There’s no tangible way to measure this, of course.

But it’s not outlandish to wonder if the U.S. national team would be playing in Wednesday’s colossal World Cup Round of 32 match against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Santa Clara without the vision, want-to and financial aid of two men: Scott Goodwin and Ken Griffin.

The transformation of the USMNT to the way we see it now truly began June 27, 2024, when Goodwin, a former high school soccer player from Darien, Conn., who’s become a highly successful businessman, watched the USMNT lose to Panama 2-1 in a Copa América match that was marred by an undisciplined red card on forward Tim Weah.

Goodwin was so incensed by it all — underpinned by the bigger-picture direction of the program and the leadership of then-U.S. head coach Gregg Berhalter — that he started a text chain that ended up changing the course of U.S. men’s soccer.

USMNT’s biggest game in decades can bring more than World Cup glory

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Games like this, Mauricio Pochettino said, are 90 percent emotion. The world saw it Monday with all the Germans who wouldn’t step up and take a penalty, while Moroccan keeper Yassine Bounou stayed in total command in the most stressful of situations.

Pochettino would like to reduce that 90 percent to 50 or 60 when his U.S. national team faces Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday. Realistically, that’s an uphill battle. This match, which represents the USMNT’s best shot to win a knockout game at a World Cup since 2002 and which will serve as a referendum on an entire generation of players, is not just another game.

The whole country saw what this team is capable of when it dismantled Paraguay and swept aside Australia in the group stage — what Bosnia coach Sergej Barbarez eloquently called “the way they use this euphoria around them.” Put forth that sort of performance again, on home soil, and the nation’s attention will truly be captured.

USMNT star feels ‘ready’ to play full 90 minutes — or more

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The state of Christian Pulisic’s left calf has all but disappeared as a story headed into the U.S. national team’s Round of 32 clash against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Injury aside, though, it’s been more than three months since Pulisic played a full 90 minutes. He may be asked to play 120 on Wednesday, should the game reach extra time — something he hasn’t done since a March 21, 2024, Nations League match against Jamaica.

“I feel ready,” Pulisic said when asked whether he could make it that far.

Minnesota Twins minor leaguer Walker Jenkins stepped up before Tuesday's St. Paul Saints game in a way that had nothing to do with his top prospect status.

Jenkins, the No. 14 overall prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline, went viral on Wednesday via a video that showed him taking care of a young fan who collapsed while standing with the players during the national anthem.

Jenkins noticed the fan wobbling and was soon carrying him off the field, eventually giving him to a staff member at the dugout.

The Saints, the Twins' Triple-A affiliate, confirmed Wednesday morning that the boy, named Lincoln, is doing well and has received some team merchandise.

After helping Lincoln, Jenkins proceeded to go 3-for-5 with a double, triple and three runs scored in a 12-6 win over the Buffalo Bisons. He was a home run shy of the cycle.

The Twins selected Jenkins fifth overall out of South Brunswick High School in North Carolina in the 2023 MLB Draft. He quickly developed into one of the best prospects in the minors, showcasing five-tool talent while playing well above his age at each level.

This season, Jenkins, 21, is slashing .273/.394/.436 in 30 games with the Saints.

The Philadelphia 76ers have expressed interest in acquiring free agent forward LeBron James, a league source who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe ongoing deliberations told The Athletic.

On the heels of Wednesday night’s blockbuster trade for Jaylen Brown — which sent Paul George and multiple draft picks to the Boston Celtics — the Sixers have thrown their hat into the proverbial ring for the star forward, who became an unrestricted free agent after eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Philadelphia makes sense from a basketball perspective. The 76ers have enough scoring, depth and ballhandling at the top of the roster to allow James to ease into a role. And with James — or even without him — Philadelphia projects as a championship contender. The Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat are also considered among the frontrunners for James’ services.

James, 41, remains an All-Star-caliber player and one of the league’s most impactful talents. The 76ers were eliminated in the second round of last season’s playoffs by the New York Knicks, who went on to win the NBA championship.
