Hello there! The first men's international break of the year is officially underway so it's time to gear up for a big week for the U.S. men's national team, but not before a look back as the first trophy of the season was handed out in England.

Because the great drought is over; their Wembley jinx with it, Liverpool’s league leaders eviscerated as Newcastle celebrated. Their previous trophy at Wembley came a few weeks after Winston Churchill had stood down as prime minister.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe challenged his players to win more silverware after making themselves "legends" by ending the club's 56-year trophy drought with a 2-1 Carabao Cup final win against Liverpool.
