The two biggest #MLS days of the season (conference finals and MLS Cup) being on the two most important days college football days of the season have turned me all the way in favor of the schedule change.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills re: the calendar change. The conference finals were literally against the biggest college football weekend of the regular season and were an absolute after-thought to the vast majority of MLS #fans. That's a bad thing!

Big offseason for #Crew96. We'll get to see if Issa Tall's slow pace was due to Nancy's reluctance to add players (I have a hunch some of it was) and if they can retool the team in a way that makes 2026 a fun year (if not a competitive one).

Feeling extremely Alien v Predator about this one. Whoever wins we lose. #Crew96

Honestly, I don't think this is a huge deal. Playoffs in May is cool. I'll miss the June games in Columbus but I would LOVE for a Thanksgiving weekend slate before the winter break. #Crew96 This schedule competes against CFB/NFL just about as much as the current one.

The best player in MLS and #Crew96 history. So thankful he chose Columbus

Bummed that the #Crew96 season is probably over but I also disagree with those who wanted a Morris replacement. We want Taha to be that guy. Taha won't be that guy if he doesn't get to play and make mistakes on the field.

Every time someone argues for opening up MLS spending, I like to remind them of Atlanta (and Toronto). #Crew96

For my money, Michael Bradley is the best box-to-box midfielder in USMNT history.

Had to be 4 points MINIMUM from these two matches and they come away with 1. Inexcusable. #Crew96

My biggest secret is that Michael Bradley is my favorite USMNT player of all time. Sorry #Crew96.

Did #Crew96 ever grab the additional international slot they needed for Abou Ali? They briefly had two open but sold one to Houston (the one they received in the Dejuan Jones trade). Picard will take up one slot so unless they are able to move off of Camacho (or someone else) they'll need a slot.

If you hated the Euro final can I just suggest whatever on earth has occurred in Ecuador today

I really like Max, but with Nancy's background getting production from almost anyone in the wingback slot and the pipeline including Picard, Brown, and potentially Prince Forfor there really is no reason to keep Max from getting his chance in Europe. #Crew96

#Crew96 are gassed. Use this fake tournament to get experience for people who need it and rest for those who need that.

I like Max Arfsten, but he's 24 and a good but not irreplaceable player. With Brown and Picard on the roster IMO it makes sense to keep the pipeline alive, make a sale, and help Max take the next step in his journey. #crew96

Harry Dean Stanton is one of our grubbiest guys (RIP)

Bad half. A lot of guys who needed to step up to keep their jobs sure seemed to crack under the pressure of the incoming transfers. Put away one or two in the first half and it's a different story. #Crew96

Max Oofsten #Crew96

Extremely good half of soccer by #Crew96 except in terms of doing the one thing they are supposed to (score goals).

Cool: Players getting paid more money for playing in a fake tournament. Not cool: Three MLS teams get a special little transfer window AND $750,000 GAM each. #MLS #Crew96

I’d already made peace with the Farsi departure so I have a lot of unconvincing to do on…myself. #crew96

My goodness what a pass from Aliyu. #Crew96

When the thing that makes you sad tells you that you aren’t sad enough. #USMNT

No clue, but I'm guessing the issue was the transfer fee not allowing Herrera to be bought down under the DP cap at a GAM number that made sense. Easier to extend the loan and keep paying the salary. #crew96

Poch’s fascination with putting Arfsten as a fullback is going to cause this team to crash out for silly reasons Especially when it flies in the face of how Wilfred Nancy sends him out for the Crew

We're (me) back! #crew96

#Crew96 really using this pattern with quick one-touches around the 18 then a searching ball for a runner cutting toward goal. It's been around all season but they're really going to it many times today.

Guzan should have done more but he also probably didn't expect someone to take a near post shot on goal from that angle. WOW #crew96

It's time to make that Herrera loan PERMANENT. #crew96

#Crew96 playing well but struggling to do the one part of soccer that is most important (making the ball go into the net)

Interesting shift. They're more or less replacing the "facility" with "state." IMO that's the original intent of the law and still suffices to keep teams from moving (maybe even more effectively than the prior law) but it's a pretty blatant handout to rich team owners.

IMO, this type of spending (by Botafogo) looks a lot different after a day like today when one of Textor's other clubs (Olympique Lyonnais) was relegated due to runaway financial issues.

Bengals fans should be crossing their fingers that the Cleveland v Browns lawsuits are dropped before a decision is made. The use of the Modell Law as a delay tactic is much more effective than the actual (almost certainly unconstitutional) law. www.nytimes.com/athletic/644...

I understand why it doesn't count, but it's absurd to me that a shot off the cross bar doesn't count as a shot on goal.

Really not sure why I’m supposed to care about attendance at a cash grab soccer tournament with half the matches being held in the middle of a work day

Incredible vision by Habroune in this appearance. #Crew96

The first one was def offside but who the heck knows about the last one. Should have made Vancouver wait. #Crew96

If you’re going to a protest and you want to carry a flag but you don’t have the Stars and Stripes, I’ve got some great news for you: our USA soccer flag is in-stock and currently on sale. We’re a local small business and we ship same day. Spread the word. ✊ www.supportersupply.co/product/navy...

Thinking about this response I received on Reddit and shedding one tear for this poor soul's media consumption. #USMNT

Spot on, as always. Poch doesn't seem to care about this team and seems to have almost no connection with the players. #USMNT

You can turn off the #usmnt and watch No Way Out on the Criterion channel right now. I dare you.

Jim Curtin is free. #usmnt

Do these guys also not "care about the badge" or is it perhaps that the manager has absolutely no connection to his players? #usmnt

If just for the soccer, Poch would be fired by now. #USMNT

If just for the soccer, Poch would be fired by now. #USMNT

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

An extremely stressful few months to be a fan of the yellow basketball team from Indiana.

The press release said they reserve the right to consider people who don’t meet that criteria and to change things in the future. So like 2014, I think this was an internal framework for narrowing down a list for consideration in 2025.

Both of this one and the #Crew96 allegations from last year don't sit right with me. Best case scenario they're telling the truth and it's an unfortunate incident that happened twice, but it definitely feels more like typical Latinophobia to me
