As we digest the move of Gotham FC to Queens, I spoke with contacts at the club and checked in with @cloud9goth.bsky.social to put together an FAQ of what we know so far about the relocation. jennassources.substack.com/p/faqs-what-...

An interesting thing about the 26/27 Europa League qualifiers is that there are two second-tier teams in it: Torreense from Liga Portugal 2 and Vestri from Iceland's second division.

Checking in from my vacation to ask are we slandering Matt Freese now? #FIFAWorldCup #USMNT

In the words of Derek Jeter to George W. Bush ahead of his first pitch in the World Series after 9/11: “You better throw it from the mound or else you’re gonna get boo-ed… (and) don’t bounce it, they’ll boo ya.” #USMNT

Some New York Cosmos roster news. Unused winger Josué Manzano has been loaned to Ecuador, former #NYCFC II MF Leo Guarino has been released, still waiting for MF Chevone Marsh to be officially announced. #NYCosmos transfer tracker on @nysoccerjournal.com: www.nysoccerjournal.com/all-new-york...

Bosnia and Herzegovina didn't create any big chances despite playing a large portion of the match with a man advantage, but Matt Freese and the USMNT still kept their game free of costly defensive mistakes and saw out a win in the rare World Cup knockout match in which they were favored

Can’t sleep, went for it @phat7deuce.bsky.social

What a wonderful thing to wake up to this morning!

For anyone new to Baker Street edits, please direct your attention to the greatest 22 seconds in MLS history

I’m sure FIFA will mention this ahead of that Israel vs Palestine match they pushed for, right?

This is why everyone should watch MLS to improve your understanding of how the game works

Holy shit that’s a bad red card call… #USMNT

Time for America 🇺🇸 Go #USMNT! Please don’t be the third World Cup game today with a late goal!

#ICYMI The New York Cosmos hosted Mexican side Santos Laguna on Sunday. A cozy crowd saw the visitors win, 2-1, but also saw #NYCosmos play a more entertaining second half. Help coming with new signing ahead of USL League One season resuming. Article ⬇️

90-degree heat didn't slow France yesterday vs Sweden. A bridesmaid performance by Michael Olise, overshadowed by a Kylian Mbappé brace to make more World Cup history in the 3-0 Round of 32 win at NYNJ Stadium. #FIFAWorldCup article on @nysoccerjournal.com: www.nysoccerjournal.com/france-vs-sw...

Despite how bad it got, the National Independent Soccer Association has been a huge part of my career. From watching The Miami FC, to making life long friends, to covering its collapse & threatened with legal action. I wouldn't be at the World Cup without NISA. #FIFAWorldCup

Time to do that soccer. Approved for World Cup knockout games! Mostly empty stadium pic of NYNJ Stadium (MetLife) in East Rutherford, NJ ahead of France vs Sweden in the Round of 32. Kickoff at 5 PM, on site for @nysoccerjournal.com. #FIFAWorldCup #FRASWE

In the middle of World Cup fever, The New York Cosmos impressed in a 2-1 loss to Liga MX side Santos Laguna at Hinchliffe Stadium on Sunday. #NYCosmos held their own, rallying in the second half with the aid of a new signing. Article on @nysoccerjournal.com: www.nysoccerjournal.com/new-york-cos...

Time to do that soccer. 24 hours after covering England’s win over Panama in the World Cup, I’m at Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson, NJ. The New York Cosmos of USL League One are hosting Santos Laguna of Liga MX in an international friendly. Here for @nysoccerjournal.com. #NYCosmos

After a cagey first half where predictability was their downfall, England finally broke through to beat Panama, 2-0, at soggy NYNJ Stadium, with Harry Kane making history for his country in the process. #FIFAWorldCup article on @nysoccerjournal.com: www.nysoccerjournal.com/england-vs-p...

Panama made it difficult but England was consistently in control and eventually found the goals it needed, winning the group and seeing Harry Kane make history in the process. @battista.bsky.social on England’s patient win over Panama in rainy East Rutherford www.nysoccerjournal.com/england-vs-p...

In 2019, while working with the Cosmopolitan Soccer League, NY International FC began. They've climbed the CSL, grown, & become a true community club. Covering @nyintfc.bsky.social, through victory & tragedy, has been an honor. They're part of why I'm covering the World Cup today. #FIFAWorldCup

Time to do that soccer. Its the last group stage game at NYNJ Stadium (MetLife) as Panama takes on England in Group L. The Europeans need a win against an already eliminated Panama to finish top of the group. Kickoff at 5 PM, on site for @nysoccerjournal.com. #FIFAWorldCup #PANENG

#ICYMI Thursday’s 2-0 win for Ivory Coast over Curaçao in Philadelphia had reasonable get-in prices compared to other fixtures in the Northeast, plus meaningful stakes for both teams. A great experience, a sellout crowd, and Côte d'Ivoire history. 🇨🇮 My #FIFAWorldCup article below ⬇️

Originally, Ivory Coast vs Curaçao was a less-attractive World Cup match with low get-in prices. But yesterday in Philadelphia became a mix of casuals attending the tournament and Côte d'Ivoire making history. #FIFAWorldCup article on @nysoccerjournal.com: www.nysoccerjournal.com/ivory-coast-...

FINAL UPDATE FOR GROUP E Ecuador 2-1 Germany Curaçao 0-2 Ivory Coast UNBELIEVABLE! Ecuador score late against the giants Germany, finish 3rd with four points. They advance for the first time since 2006. Ivory Coast finish 2nd, advance for 1st time! #FIFAWorldCup

On June 28, 2017, The Miami FC beat Atlanta United FC in the US Open Cup Round of 16. A stoppage time goal from #NYCFC legend Kwadwo Poku connected me to Miami for life. My first World Cup has me covering Curaçao with two #VamosMiami players (Eloy Room & Jürgen Locadia). #FIFAWorldCup
