Blue Notes: Pulisic Injury Update, New NWSL Roster Rules, Leach Retires, Chiefs to KS?

It’s time for another edition of Blue Notes. Let’s get caught up on Kansas City soccer with a little USMNT sprinkled in.

Pulisic Injury Update

On Tuesday (stretching into Wednesday in Qatar), the United States Men’s National Team advanced out of the Group Stage and into the round of 16 by defeating Iran. They did so on the back of a well worked goal with a beautiful lofted diagonal from Weston McKinnie, which was headed perfectly by right back Sergino Dest before Christian Pulisic knocked it home for the game’s only goal.

He took quite a blow from the Iranian goalkeeper in the process and would be subbed off at halftime.
