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.

#USMNT player ratings: Whoever figured out the black shirts v. white shirts matchup 10/10

Do you think there's a community of fans who love watching UFL on tape delay who are like "OH, COME ON! Soccer again? They're always cutting in with this!"?

Anders Dreyer into the game with Denmark sitting at 1-1. I spoke to him about his push to help Denmark reach the World Cup on the continent he calls home. www.mlssoccer.com/news/anders-...

Is there not a Euro playoff quad box anywhere? No Golazo-style show Thursday was bad enough, but this is what a quad box was made of. I've got two on YTTV but random sports talk in the other slots.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Trans panic is a scam ✌️ www.theguardian.com/football/202...

If anyone is going to Monterrey for Tigres next week, you should definitely check out @jonarnoldfc.bsky.social’s travel guide. youtu.be/v93pQ9sWW_8?...

Duckens Nazon made his Haiti debut in that match in Mitrovica. He'll retire as his country's leading scorer & having helped Les Grenadiers back to their first World Cup in more than 50 years. Funny how a seemingly random game ends up with so many 'future footnotes'.

Lights out and away Jamaica goes? The Reggae Boyz know they need to be more electric tonight v DR Congo to get to the World Cup. PLUS: 🇲🇽 El Tri's youth movement 🇦🇼 Aruba achieves in Africa 🇵🇷 PR the top territory 😥 Concacaf struggles in FIFA Series ➕ More! getconcacafed.substack.com/p/jamaica-ho...

Ghana, who Panama opens its World Cup against, has just 'parted ways' with manager Otto Addo. The Black Stars fell 5-1 to Austria & 2-1 to Germany this window & lost both Nov. friendlies too but lost just once in WCQ. www.ghanafa.org/gfa-part-way...

"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

It's Paulinho time in Mexico City.

To all the Mexican-American kids in the States as they watch Brian and Obed in the starting XI tonight against Portugal, it's hard to get the right words. It's a very special moment, without a doubt. If the young Mex-American kids dream big, everything is possible, like starting at Azteca.

A hurricane metaphor?! In tornado alley?!

Reality check: The #USMNT was off and running but tripped and fell flat in a tune-up that showed the Americans what it will take to challenge the elite. For @bleachereport.bsky.social: bleacherreport.com/articles/254...

Whatever happened to a nice, clear jersey contract?

Glad to see the #USMNT moving to compete with Trinidad & Tobago's steel-drum anthem with this Hendrix electric guitar tribute.

Today's attendance: 63,004! Denver Summit have set a new NWSL single game attendance record by almost 23,000!

The Estadio Azteca reopens tonight after long months of renovation. One of the star attractions on the bill - Portugal attacker Cristiano Ronaldo - won't be present. Will Mexico be able to show fans it's worth their undying loyalty? open.substack.com/pub/getconca...

"The Triple Dipper you have to get but then I think it's the endless chips and salsa, but then also there's sports on TV and also the chocolate molten lava cake and it's just like you're sitting there and you're looking at the ground, the tile. You're like, this is beautiful. This is really America”

Suriname had a lead & a chance to move on, but new manager Henk ten Cate didn't pull the right levers & the Natio's World Cup dream ended. Thoughts on that game plus Jamaica's bizarre battle with New Caledonia. getconcacafed.substack.com/p/suriname-l...

This week’s blog post isn’t really a post. It’s a tool that everyone can use to analyze their team’s current GAM situation based on the trades teams have made. All in one place. Introducing…. GAM Is Fun

It was there for Suriname, but the Henk ten Cate didn't set the Natio up to take it. That plus thoughts on Suriname's future & on the strange Jamaica match that saw the Reggae Boyz go through but raised plenty of concerns. open.substack.com/pub/getconca...

Really weird game sees Jamaica sneak past New Caledonia and set up a contest with DR Congo for the right to make the 2026 World Cup. Safe to say the Reggae Boyz will need serious improvement if they're going to make their first men's World Cup since 1998.

GOAL! Bailey-Tye Cadamarteri reacts quickly to finish off a rebound and put Jamaica ahead in the 19th minute. Were in one of those "the longer it stays 0-0" situations where the pressure they're putting on themselves & the 'neutral fans' supporting the underdog sorta evaporates after that.

Here's Jamaica's XI for tonight's playoff v. New Caledonia. It's a Wales- and England-based front line with Mason-Clark straight into the XI in his debut. Leon Bailey available off the bench.

Call me the Suriname Stephen A. Smith because I've got a Natio hot take. www.tiktok.com/@jonarnoldfc...

"Today I am a Football Cities watcher"

As we reach the Pitbull break in Monterrey, it's a fine start to the game for Suriname. Not sure Piroe connecting well with the rest of the team, but their plan to deal with pressure and try to spring forward with speed has shown a few green shoots so far. Think they'll be happy if it's 0-0 at HT.

Do you think Infantino watched Football Cities to see what street food he should eat in Monterrey? You can...and should! youtu.be/v93pQ9sWW_8?...

From Suriname & Jamaica's must-win playoff games to a random Nicaragua match in Russia & everything in between (qualified teams tuning up, FIFA Series, Concacaf Series), here's what you should know about the March window: open.substack.com/pub/getconca...

When they're trying to say the Bundesliga's mascots get up to hijinks, but you're simply an anthropomorphic bag of cement.

Voetbal International says Norway complained about their hotel location in Amsterdam since it's by a big highway with nothing else around - leading coach Ståle Solbakken to quip, "If you can't sit by a four-lane highway here for three days, you won't make it in the United States for 35 days either."

Journos, if the superstar refuses to do a presser until someone that asked a valid question leaves and the colleague decides to go, you gotta walk out with them. There's just no other choice.
