Congratulations to the Philadelphia Union for winning the Supporters’ Shield—and to Union Director of Goalkeeping, Phil Wheddon, who helped us break down the state of the US goalkeeper in our Lone Eagles episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Great night at @rhodeislandfc.bsky.social #soccertown

“Let’s do a starting XI of US soccertowns. How hard can it be?”

This is just Alexi’s way of telling his MAGA audience that he ain’t paying for no illegals.

Seattle: 140 years of soccer powerhouses like Boeing, Sounders, and…Mrs. Wickman’s Pies?

I was talking to someone at San Diego Wave recently about their community outreach. “San Diego is a military town,” they said. “So we work with Armed Services YMCA, which gives food to active duty military and veterans. It’s sad that our military families need a food drive to get by but…”

Sorry, Bay Area: San Francisco and Oakland had to share a spot in our Starting XI. And sorry (not sorry): we had to talk about the SF Deltas...

In these dark times may I offer what some are calling a “spot-on”impression of David Beckham:

A friendly reminder that there is no such thing as "settled" history...

Come for the US soccer history, stay for the top shelf vocal work.

Glad to help out with this & see #Atlanta make the starting XI. A hurculean effort by Kirk & Tom who did a great job tracing the metro area’s #soccerhistory & those of other important “soccertowns” across the U.S. (although Tom gets a yellow for the use of “Hotlanta”). Definitely give it a listen!

🚨The roster is out! Our starting XI of US soccertowns—and our final episode of season 1. It’s 90 minutes (plus added time) of 🇺🇸 soccer history in all of its diverse, imperfect glory. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts.

Uploading... 👀

Our next episode is shaping up to be a full 90' so our, uh, water break has been extended 🍻 Look out for a new AN AMERICAN GAME next week, and in the meantime here's why we don't like Alexi Lalas: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Wishing Ray Hudson all the best as he steps away from broadcasting. He’s a fine gent and an incredible ambassador for the game. (And making it into the “magesteeeerial” club was one of the biggest thrills of our lives.)

We’ll be back next week with our final show of the season but in the meantime, check out the water break mini-episode of AN AMERICAN GAME where we explain (a little) of why we don’t like Alexi Lalas. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

This week on AN AMERICAN GAME: a mini episode with some updates, corrections...and an overdue chat about Alexi Lalas.

@frankmsounders.bsky.social we have a question for you if you wouldn’t mind following back 🙏

Before they could invent the “OOSA” chant, the first USWNT had to get to Italy… podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Another great episode. I can’t recommend Kirk & Tim’s podcast enough. Definitely give them a listen!

🚨New episode! Tom and Kirk track the long line of women’s soccer that led to the very first USWNT, the 85ers, whose wild week in Italy 40 years ago laid the foundation for one of the most dominant programs in American sports. And the “OOSA!” chant 💪⚽️ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Need to get this show in your soccer podcast rotation if you have done so already!

Absolutely great episode !!

When you do an episode on the history of US goalkeepers and think, “it would be cool if Tony Meola did a couple jokes. Should we ask him?”

We love Urban Pitch, so this was nice. Big thanks to @scoblevision.bsky.social urbanpitch.com/an-american-...

Come for the history of US goalkeepers, stay for my Gerard Butler impression. New episode of AN AMERICAN GAME! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

It's halftime at AN AMERICAN GAME, which means no new show 👎 but also no Alexi Lalas👍 We do have quick fun facts about Tom and Kirk and a preview of next week, where they answer the question, "What if our best athletes played soccer?" (Hint: they already do.) www.buzzsprout.com/2519329/epis...

If you want to see an Indiana Jones-like quest to find the oldest trophy in US sports…here it is. The video version of AN AMERICAN GAME—Episode 2: youtu.be/oyv5OHn22Bo?...

What has steamships, chloroform, and the King of Romania? The latest episode of AN AMERICAN GAME, about the US team at the first World Cup. They showed the world that diversity is our strength—and that we’re not afraid to change hotels if the first one sucks. www.buzzsprout.com/2519329/epis...

Okay #soccersky we’ve got a new story dropping tomorrow about the #USMNT in the very first World Cup. It’s got steamships, chloroform, and the King of Romania…and much more. In the meantime, check out the first two episodes of: anamericangame.buzzsprout.com

We always recommend listening to The Coaching Academy but especially this one 🤜🤛

I'm an American soccer fan, which means I've spent a lot of my life having to explain (even prove!) my love for the game to people who think the US has no soccer history. So, with an old friend and teammate--now an eminent historian of US soccer--I've made a series that shows it's our game, too.

Hey American soccer fans: youtu.be/vXxW0xDya_I?...

👀 youtu.be/W-L7qccec6I?...

Lovely piece on how the beauty of the game can break through even the most cynical of tournaments.

Want to hear more about this game and the early days of American soccer? Stay tuned…

Reports that Mauricio Pochettino interviewed for the Brentford job are the latest cherry on the dysfunction sundae of US Soccer. prosoccerwire.usatoday.com/story/sports...

The dynamic in which a blowhard like this guy has outsized influence on US soccer underscores what a joke US soccer is.
