Watched this game at two different pubs in Castlebar, Ireland. At the first bar, which really reminded me of Murphy‘s in Wrigleyville, with mostly 20somethings, almost everyone cheered when Man City scored. At the second bar, which was definitely an older crowd, absolutely NOBODY wanted Man City to win. Go figure.
With all the European club stuff done for the season, we're now onto national team stuff to watch for the next couple months. CONCACAF Nations League semis (Canada/Panama and USA/Mexico) start Thursday night in Vegas. It appears that that entire tournament will air on Paramount+. The Gold Cup qualifiers start later this week with the group stage starting in a couple weeks. Then there's the Women's World Cup starting next month with at least the first two U.S. matches airing in primetime.
Canada defeats Panama 2:0 in tonight's first Nations League semifinal in Vegas. Goals scored by Jonathan David and Alphonso Davies.
Canada will face the winner of tonight's U.S./Mexico match in the final Sunday night. Panama faces the loser for third place late Sunday afternoon.

2 gunners starting for USA!Tonight's starting XI for the USMNT:
i do agree with the pre-game commentators that this is a big transfer season for a lot of American players in Europe.
And as this match is going on, there's reports from the Athletic tonight that Gregg Berhalter is going to be rehired as the USMNT head coach.
Wow Pulisic, you have got to freaking finish that.
Turner, I'll grant you though I don't think he plays much. Balogun, while I get that he's technically an Arsenal youth player, made his name with his spectacular play in Ligue 1.

actually, i'd say Balo has played more in an Arsenal kit having been trained by and played for the youth teams for many years.
i kind of think that ramsdale was such a risk that turner was acquired as a sort of insurance policy. turner is pretty great; hope we can hold on to him and make good use of him.
PULISIC SCORES IN THE 37TH MINUTE!!! 1-0 USA
US leads at half 1:0.
Pulisic scores to open the 2nd half! USA up 2:0.
Before the Berhalter news came out, former NYCFC and Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira had been discussed as an option.
Things are getting really chippy between Mexico and the U.S. these last few minutes. Looks like someone just got shown a red card but not sure as to who yet.
EDIT: Looks like Montes for Mexico and McKennie both got reds. The McKennie red means he wouldn't be able to play in the final on Sunday.
