| We're back with Jersey Spotlight, Fortnite and more goodies. Another American Soccer Exodus | The 2021 January transfer window was a curious one. Real Madrid opted not to sign anyone again, Arsenal actually did good(?) things and Liverpool signed two center backs and can still barely field a full back four.
More interestingly in our own backyard, a number of exciting American prospects moved abroad for a shot in Europe. USMNT-ers and USMNT-hopefuls are now in prime positions to expand their resumes. It’s quite a time to be a soccer lover in America. Here’s a round up of who’s moved where. - Paul Arriola (DC United -> Swansea City, Loan)
- Jordan Morris (Seattle Sounders -> Swansea City, Loan)
- Daryl Dike (Orlando City -> Barnsley, Loan)
- Brendan Aaronson (Philadelphia Union -> Red Bull Salzburg, permanent transfer)
- Bryan Reynolds (FC Dallas -> AS Roma, Loan until summer, then a permanent transfer)
- DeAndre Yedlin (Newcastle -> Galatasaray, permanent transfer)
The full story from SB Nation. | Fortnite Meets Football and Frankly We Want to Wear These Kits | How does Fortnite get Juventus while we’re stuck with Piemonte Calcio in FIFA?
Again proving that the worldwide phenomenon battle royale experience is part advertising vehicle and part video game, Fortnite has introduced a new batch of skins to players in recent months. And we are slightly jealous these outfits are only digital. |
Fortnite has added kits for 23 different soccer sides from around the world, and they are gems.
The update also came with a Pelé air punch celebration emote.
Most of the skins are digital remakes of current or classic kits, but hey, adidas, can you produce that Wolves long sleeve en masse? We’d be happy to sell it in our store.
And the Juve kit? We’ll take 200. Scroll through a few of the lineup here, or read the official announcement from Fortnite if you’re looking for more.

With soccer being one of the biggest conversation topics amongst men in the UK, it is seen by FC Not Alone to be the gateway towards discussions ranging from depression, emotional connections, and isolation.
Normalizing the conversation around men’s mental health, FC Not Alone has seen former Liverpool forward Rhian Brewster win one of their charity tournaments, as well as netted them a meeting with British royalty at Wembley.
Their weekly matchups in a local non-professional league in West London serve as pathways towards discussion panels and other activations to drive the conversation and accessibility towards a mentally healthier London male population.
