Next up we're analysing the USA's 5 U23s to watch at the World Cup 🇺🇸 A host nation who got off to a flyer in their first game: Alex Freeman — Villarreal, 21. A young attacking defender with pace and directness, already earning senior caps and developing at a strong European club. Chris Brady — Chicago Fire FC, 22. A young goalkeeper with long-term upside, providing depth behind the more experienced options. Joe Scally — Borussia Mönchengladbach, 23. A reliable, technically sound right-back who has been a consistent performer at Bundesliga level. Giovanni Reyna — Borussia Mönchengladbach, 23. Hard to believe he is still 23 as he has been around for a while. A technically gifted attacking midfielder with real quality in tight spaces — when fit, one of the USA's most dangerous players. Ricardo Pepi — PSV Eindhoven, 23. A physical, goal-hungry striker who has grown into a reliable option at the highest level. Playing at home gives this group a massive platform, and Reyna and Pepi are the ones who can really make an impact.

All Iranian diplomats who attended UNGA, except one who departed earlier, left as scheduled. Taking pride in fake diplomat "expulsion" is inappropriate for the head of any diplomatic corps. It oozes of desperation and defeat, and is inconsistent with UN host nation obligations.
