Magical McKennie
Weston McKennie is a national treasure. The man lives his life at full speed and full of joy. It was all on display this weekend as McKennie headed home a goal to put Juventus up 2-0 over Bologna.

Catarina Macario and Midge Purce scored their first USWNT goals, Megan Rapinoe added a brace, and Lynn Williams and Lindsey Horan also scored for the Yanks, who once again smothered the Colombians with a stifling press that kept the visitors on their back heels all night.
