GOAL! Rusnak with an incredible finish that was ruled offside. It is *so* close, but the VAR says it’s a good goal. The early goal is exactly what the Sounders ordered…can they get another without conceding? #CCC

I get why they had to do it, but I gotta say the half-hour break between #CCC quarterfinals (from 11p ET-11:30p ET) is not exactly my favorite part of the week.

The Concacommunity comes together again tonight after one of the best nights ever for MLS teams in the competition. Will the Galaxy and/or Sounders turn their series around & join their rivals in the CCC semis? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTk5HH8KG/

Huge seaweed sponsor, you'll never sing that!

GAM Man says Go Away, GAM on FAM. Damn!

Wins at the Estadio Azteca in 2026: Mexico national team - 0 Club América - 0 Cruz Azul - 0 Nashville SC - 1

GOAL! Nashville gets an away goal at the Estadio Azteca from Hany Mukhtar after Cristian Espinoza was able to worm a cross through two defenders from the wing. Will it be a DREAM night for MLS teams in Mexico?!

We'll have a new Concacaf Champions Cup winner for the 10th time in a row as LAFC eliminates reigning champ Cruz Azul. After a 3-0 win in the first leg, LAFC overcomes an early goal from La Maquina & an Ivan Barton special to secure a 1-1 draw on the road and clinch a spot in the semifinal. #CCC

Omg what if they start showing Concacaf Champions Cup. Finally we have our revenge on basketball for the years of FS2 pain!

Ivan Barton’s having a yellow card party & everyone is invited! #CCC

I'm joining @usatodaysports.usatoday.com as the National Soccer Writer! Read more about our plans there & the future of beloved newsletter Getting CONCACAFed: open.substack.com/pub/getconca...

Per multiple sources, Matt Crocker is leaving his role as U.S. Soccer sporting director for a similar role with Saudi Arabia: www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

Concacaf announces today a four-year deal with Netflix that will see the Gold Cup & Nations League broadcast on the streaming platform in Mexico.

The Wings should be allowed to keep picking UCONN stars first overall until they win the title.

Women's World Cup qualification in Concacaf has been Concachalk rather than Concachaos so far. Here's where things are at ... and where they could get weird in the final window before W Championship matchups are set. getconcacafed.substack.com/p/could-ther...

Lead game officials from Concacaf appointed for the upcoming World Cup: Ivan Bartón (El Salvador) Juan Calderón (Costa Rica) Ismail Elfath (USA) Drew Fischer (Canada) Katia García (Mexico) Saíd Martínez (Honduras) Oshane Nation (Jamaica) Tori Penso (USA) César Ramos (Mexico)

oh no, Galaxy, not like that

Y'all, I might not post all the goals in this Toluca-LA Galaxy series. #CCC

At the half-hour mark, the Sounders see the risk Tigres can pose. A slip leads to a Seattle chance, but they don't convert and maybe 15 seconds later Ozziel Herrera is firing in a shot. Weaker than usual, but still a dangerous team. #CCC

The Unity Cup, celebrating AfroCentric & diaspora communities in the UK, returns after last year's revival. Jamaica will participate again w. Nigeria, Zimbabwe & India at Charlton Athletic's The Valley. Reggae Boyz open v. India in what is billed as a "Vibrant Dancehall v Desi culture clash”

okay but why (via NBCS Kings)

I’m starting to think we didn’t need to be worried about Son not scoring the goals for #LAFC

I know this is the formula Nashville used to get here, but with the second leg at the Azteca I think you want more out of this game in the last half-hour - even with as bland as América as been this year.

The first Concacaf Champions Cup match on FS2 after the college basketball season has ended & you know you're safe

The world's best continental club championship returns tonight! Let's take the temperature of all eight teams left in the quarterfinals: open.substack.com/pub/getconca...

Bravo to Mileno for the stock photo find here.

I enjoyed his conversation with Emanuel Roşu prior to the Romania playoff game. RIP to a legend who understood what the sport means but also that there is more to life than only soccer. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Fox Latin America has renewed its deal to broadcast Concacaf's club competitions in Mexico for four years 2027-2030. Last year, Tubi was branded as "the home of the CCC in Mexico" but now "the competition will be broadcast across FOX pay TV channels and FOX+" plus the DTC FOX One.

What a beautiful moment.

Liga MX Femenil, Necaxa v Xolos Game at min 53: Necaxa 0-1 Xolos Game at min 75: Necaxa 0-6 Xolos Game at min 77: Necaxa earn red Game at min 91: Necaxa 1-6 Xolos

Balogolazo!

Colorado has managed to chip its own keeper.

This Houston Dynamo is a bit different than previous versions. @elrolonw.bsky.social and @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com get you caught up on the week that was and look ahead. @jonarnoldfc.bsky.social also gives a report on Tigres. www.sounderatheart.com/2026/04/the-...

Tigres wild inconsistency continues with a 1-0 loss to Xolos, secured by a save off the line by center back Jackson Porozo in the final moments of the match. While Gilberto Mora was back in training this week, the teenager did not return from his sports hernia issue. #LigaMX #LigaMXEng

Club soccer has returned & with it my three best matches of the Liga MX weekend + when they start + where to find them on U.S. TV! www.youtube.com/shorts/zuh_X...

Ugh, they've got me posting on Twitter again. Here we go in case any Inter Miami or MLS folks are exclusively here:

Canada Soccer is turning up in Toronto’s Little Italy neighborhood tomorrow allowing fans to trade an Italy jersey for a #CanMNT one after the Azzurri’s failure to reach the World Cup in North America.

Football Cities hasn't blown up from a numbers perspective (yet), but these comments from locals saying, 'Hey, you nailed it,' mean so much to me & confirm I'm on the right track.

Taking a hypothetical Riyadh Air flight to a country where I can place a hypothetical prediction wager on ADI Predictstreet.

I'm all for a long-term project, but...

Really good big picture look at CONCACAF’s men after a rocky March, capped by Jamaica falling to (a very good and deserving!) DR Congo, leaving the confederation with one less team in a home-region tournament. @jonarnoldfc.bsky.social’s a must read on the region.

Making sense of Jamaica's failure to make the 2026 World Cup and what it says about the health of men's soccer in Concacaf as a whole. open.substack.com/pub/getconca...

A World Cup note: FIFA says the start time of the Brazil-Haiti game has been moved 30 minutes earlier, to 8:30 p.m.

Bolivia played much better than I expected away from home in both these matches, but in the end the South Americans can't get it done. Iraq is joining the World Cup party & Bolivia's wait for a return goes on!

You certainly can't blame Blake, who was excellent in qualification & in today's match. Lots of questions about the Reggae Boyz' future, but if Jayden Hibbert opts for Jamaica there will likely be strong competition in the next cycle - before you even get into what Blake to do.
