FOX Sports reported on Wednesday that star attacker Christian Pulisic would skip this summer's tournament following two grueling seasons with Italian club A.C. Milan. Weston McKennie and Tim Weah are unavailable because Juventus is participating in the FIFA Club World Cup instead, as is Gio Reyna's Borussia Dortmund.Regarding Pulisic's absence, U.S. Soccer sporting director Matt Crocker said in a statement:"Christian and his team approached the Federation and the coaching staff about the possibility of stepping back this summer, given the amount of matches he has played in the past two years at both the club and international level with very little break.
"After thoughtful discussions and careful consideration, we made the collective decision that this is the right moment for him to get the rest he needs. The objective is to ensure he's fully prepared to perform at the highest level next season."
"The principal objective is the World Cup," Pochettino told reporters via Zoom shortly after Thursday's announcement. "We decided the best [thing] for him and for the national team is the decision that we make."
Several other prominent names are absent; 2024 U.S. Soccer Male Athlete of the Year Antonee "Jedi" Robinson is still dealing with the minor injuries that prevented him from participating in the Concacaf Nations League final four in March. Yunus Musah was supposed to be with their USMNT next month; Pochettino said he withdrew from consideration earlier this week for personal reasons. Joe Scally, Josh Sargent and Tanner Tessmann, who all started the Nations League semifinal loss to Panama, were also left off the squad, which will be trimmed to 26 on June 4, when the final list must be submitted to Concacaf. The Gold Cup begins on June 14, with the Americans kicking off group play against Trinidad and Tobago the following day. When does the USMNT play in the 2025 Gold Cup?
The USMNT will have three group stage games. Check out how to watch below: Sunday, June 15 Thursday, June 19 USA vs. Saudi Arabia - 9:15 p.m. ET on FS1 Sunday, June 22 USA vs. Haiti - 7 p.m. ET on FOX

Who will hit the 2025 British Open's first tee shot? The only two-time winner in the field
There are 16 past champions playing in the 2025 British Open Championship at Royal Portrush. Only one of them is a two-time winner of the Claret Jug. Padriag Harrington won the Claret Jug in back-to-back years (2007, 2008) and he's the most recent golfer to pull off that feat. He was also the first European golfer to do it more than 100 years. Who will hit the first tee shot at the 2025 British Open Championship? So it's only fitting that Harrington, who's grouped with Nicoloai Hojgaard and Tom McKibbin at 1:35 a.m. ET (6:35 a.m. local time in Scotland), will be the first to hit in Thursday's first round. And while Harrington wasn't among the 10 golfers to hold an official pre-tournament news conference, he did hold an impromptu media session during his practice round on Thursday. He quipped there's no such thing as a bad links golf course and compared it to whiskey, essentially saying there's no bad whiskey, there's just some better than others. At about 10 p.m. local time Wednesday in Scotland, Harrington posted a screenshot of the 4 a.m. alarm he set on his iPhone. You can bet there's no way he's missing his tee time at Royal Portrush on Thursday morning. Harrington is one of just 11 men to win the Open in consecutive years. The others: Tiger Woods (2005, 2006), Tom Watson (1982, 1983), Lee Trevino (1971, 1972), Arnold Palmer (1961, 1962), Peter Thomson, (1954, 1955, 1956), Bobby Locke (1950, 1951), Walter Hagen (1928, 1929), Bobby Jones (1926, 1927), James Braid (1905, 1906), Harry Vardon (1898, 1899), JH Taylor (1894, 1895), Bob Ferguson (1880, 1881, 1882), Jamie Anderson (1877, 1878, 1879), Young Tom Morris Jr. (1868, 1869, 1870, 1872), Old Tom Morris (1862, 1862). Note: Young Tom Morris didn't get a chance to defend in 1871 as that year's open was canceled.

2025 Women's Euro: Girelli lifts Italy to semis over Hegerberg's Norway
On a night of goals and drama for two veteran star strikers, Cristiani Girelli got the better of Ada Hegerberg to send Italy into the semifinals of the 2025 Women's Euro on Wednesday. Girelli's 90th-minute header, completing her brace, sealed a 2-1 win over Norway, whose captain Hegerberg had tied the game after missing a penalty. The 35-year-old Girelli had seized the lead for Italy in the 50th by deftly guiding in a shot fired across the Norway goal by Sofia Cantore. Italy will return to Geneva next Tuesday to face either Sweden or England for its first Women's Euros semifinal since 1997. With extra-time looming, Girelli met Cantore's perfectly weighted cross with a graceful leap at the far post to direct her header just under the crossbar. Hegerberg leveled the score in the 66th with her first scoring chance just six minutes after missing a penalty kick for the second time at Euro 2025. Hegerberg ran clear to a long pass and poked a shot past onrushing goalkeeper Laura Giuliani. The slow-rolling ball just beat the Italian defenders in a race to the goal line. Girelli now has 61 goals for Italy and the last three all went into the same net at the mountains end of the Stade de Genève stadium. She also scored one of the goals of the tournament, curling in a 22-meter-yard shot against Portugal that shaped to be decisive in the group stage until Italy conceded an 89th-minute equalizer. It was Italy that finished strong in the first knockout round and no one more than Girelli. The Norway star has taken two penalty kicks at Euro 2025 and missed both, placing her two shots wide of each post. She also scored in each of those games. Hegerberg won this spot-kick by falling under a grappling challenge from Italy captain Elena Linari trying to meet a high cross. Replays suggested Hegerberg might have been offside. Taking a short and slow run to the ball, Hegerberg sent her shot wide of the left hand post of Guiliani, who guessed correctly which way to dive. The former Ballon d'Or winner also missed when Norway led 2-1 over Switzerland, shooting to the right of Livia Peng's dive, in an opening day win by that score. Reporting by The Associated Press.
