"One that I just can't get out of my head."
A few years ago, #USMNT goalkeeper Diego Kochen read 'The Giver'. It's a story about memories. It really stuck with him.

As a Haitian, Iām not exactly rooting for the Dominican Republicās soccer rise š , but this is a hell of a read from Tom:
The Dominican Republic used to be an afterthought in the soccer sphere. Here's how an Argentine coach, former Spanish youth internationals, and many, many, many hours of scouting turned things around:
