by  Paul Kennedy Bruce Arena  will have a nervous weekend as he watches the players he is counting on for the deciding World Cup 2018 qualifiers against Panama and Trinidad & Tobago get through their club games. Key players down the spine are coming back from injuries, so he'll likely again call in an expanded squad. Three overriding themes: 1. Win two and clinch.  There's only the remotest of chances the USA won't qualify for the World Cup as the third-place team if it beats Panama and T&T. Easier said than done. 2. First things first.  The USA needs to beat Panama, preferably by two or more goals, which will give it some wiggle room against T&T. It will no longer control its own destiny in the race for third with a tie in Orlando. But a loss next Friday means fourth place -- and the November playoffs -- will be the USA's only remaining path to Russia. 3. A long Friday night.  USA-Panama will kick off at 7:35 pm ET. After its game finishes, the

Milan: André Silva, dopo il gol in Europa League, "serve" anche in campionato. Spalletti sceglie il trequartista: Joao Mario. Juve, come centrali di difesa ecco Rugani-Chiellini e Allegri ritrova Khedira. Roma con Florenzi nel tridente d'attacco Non si sono ancora spente le luci sulle Coppe europee (ieri sera hanno giocato in Europa League Lazio, Milan e Atalanta) ma è già tempo di campionato. E di fantacalcio. La 7ª giornata di A si apre sabato con Udinese-Sampdoria alle 18 e Genoa-Bologna alle 20.45. Domenica alle 12.30 ecco Napoli-Cagliari e poi, 5 gare alle 15.00 tra cui Benevento-Inter e Lazio-Sassuolo. Il big match Milan-Roma è alle 18 e il posticipo Atalanta-Juve alle 20.45. Ecco le ultime dai campi. UDINESE-SAMPDORIA  —  Sabato ore 18 Udinese : Delneri dovrà fare a meno del suo capitano: Danilo che ha rimediato una lesione al bicipite femorale (starà fuori 50 giorni). I centrali di difesa saranno quindi Nuytinck che non è al meglio e Angella. Dietr

L'ex campione è tornato a Milano per aprire uno store: "Mi manca la città e l’Italia. Il calcio mi ha dato tutto, ora amo il mio lavoro: la moda" He’s Beck, facile il gioco di parole. Ma per David Beckham tornare a Milano non è un’operazione banale, perché Milano per l’ex capitano della nazionale inglese non è una città come le altre. Milano lo ha fatto riscoprire al pubblico europeo, gli ha riservato gioie e dolori grandissimi, come quel tendine d’Achille saltato in una maledetta serata di metà marzo. Si giocava Milan-Chievo, Beckham sentì il dolore acutissimo ma riuscì a passare la palla prima di zoppicare orgogliosamente fino a bordo campo. Una compostezza e una dedizione al football difficili da dimenticare: sotto a tutti i look cambiati negli anni, pettinature, tatuaggi e abiti strambi, David Beckham è stato prima di tutto un adoratore e un ambasciatore del pallone. David è tornato in Italia per inaugurare un grande Adidas Store a Milano. Parlare di Milan e di

6) Time for Hughes to give Stoke’s youth a chance? It is a common complaint that teams such as Chelsea and Manchester City are reluctant to give youngsters a chance, but when a mid-ranking Stoke City show similar reticence it is even more depressing. Against Chelsea last weekend, Mark Hughes was faced with the absence of the defenders Kurt Zouma, Ryan Shawcross, Kevin Wimmer and Geoff Cameron for one reason or another. Rather than give the teenage defenders Josh Tymon or Harry Souttar some valuable minutes, he left them on the bench throughout, chose to start Ramadan Sobhi and Mame Biram Diouf instead and watched his team ship four goals  in a heavy defeat . With Bruno Martins Indi now injured and doubts surrounding the availability of Shawcross and Wimmer for Stoke’s match against Southampton, Hughes could face similar selection problems this weekend. Whether or not he considers the youngsters for even a cameo role remains to be seen.  BG 7) Unlikely villain Nyom faces Watford

Palace could take another step towards Manchester United’s unwanted record, Huddersfield should go for it against Spurs and a west London game to savour 1) United can help Palace towards unwanted record After six league games, six defeats and still no goals, Old Trafford would be very close to bottom of the list of ideal destinations for Crystal Palace, but it may be a fine place to find some sympathy. After all, as nonagenarian United fans might recall, their team’s start to the 1930-31 season remains the most disastrous in Football League history. They were wildly unfortunate to lose their opening game to the champions Aston Villa – Joe Spence suffered a twisted knee and Tom Jones cracked a collar-bone, leaving United playing for a draw with nine and a half men (Jones gamely tried to carry on as best he could). With a minute and a half to play, Jack Wilson passed back to Alf Steward, the United goalkeeper, who inexplicably dropped the ball and Tom Waring capitalised to grab
