Washington Wins It, United Blows It (Again), and Adams’ Injury Cloud: Morning Espresso, 12.16
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Manchester United scored four at Old Trafford and still couldn’t win… because this one turned into pure bedlam.
On today’s Morning Espresso, we start with the College Cup final and an instant classic in Cary as Washington capped a dream postseason with a 3-2 overtime win over NC State to claim the first national championship in program history. The Huskies built a 2-0 lead, the Wolfpack roared all the way back to force extra time, and then Washington found the winner less than two minutes into overtime—celebration, video review, and all.
Then we get into the chaos from Monday night in the Premier League: Manchester United and Bournemouth drew 4-4 in a game that swung three different directions and never stopped accelerating. United led, lost the plot, rallied late, and still had to settle for a point in one of the most entertaining matches of the season.
And the big U.S. men’s national team concern: Tyler Adams exited after five minutes with what Bournemouth suspect could be MCL damage in his left knee. We’ll talk about what it could mean short-term, and why the bigger picture—2026—is what makes this so nerve-racking.
All that, plus a quick spin through the rest of the global and domestic headlines in The Refill.
