It's Called Soccer: US Star Weston McKennie Wins Coppa Italia With Juventus, World Finds Out He's Apparently Dating A Rival's Sister
Yesterday we had Juventus win Coppa Italia. Big deal, especially since we have two Americans on the squad in Weston McKennie and Tim Weah. Of course we want to see our boys play well and McKennie was big, leading the competition in assists and had the pass to lead to the assist in the 1-0 win.
As a massive McKennie fan, this is awesome. You could make a case that McKennie is the heart and soul of the US team. He's the dude who will mix it up, fly around, not afraid to start a fight if he has to.
But the real story is what happened after the Coppa Italia final. You see this picture started to go viral showing Weston McKennie's apparent girlfriend.
Why does this matter? Because that's the sister of Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi. For those who don't follow soccer, Inter and Juventus are rivals through and through. Two of the three biggest names in Italian soccer, two of the most successful, however you want to classify them. Derby d'Italia matters in that country and our beloved Weston McKennie is now the face of it. Do you know how awesome you have to be for the sister of your rival to be dating you and publicly put the picture out there? That's Weston McKennie though. Like I said, heart and soul of the US team, so can't be that shocked.
Anyways big things happening in Italy, with this report to from Karim.
And a congrats to Weston McKennie, next up Copa America title.
