If NYCFC by some miracle win MLS Cup I will simply retire from watching soccer. I will have won being a soccer fan.

TWO FOR TWO WHAT A DAY! HOUNDS AND GOTHAM BABY! BEST SOCCER DAY OF MY LIFE

BIG TIME PLAYER IN A BIG TIME MOMENT. ROSE LAVELLE GETS GOTHAM UP 1-0! #NWSLChampionship | Google Pixel

THIS IS THE BEST SOCCER DAY OF MY LIFE

ROSE FUCKING LAVELLE!

I couldn't imagine not loving domestic soccer man. I feel so bad for the lames missing out on the fun.

Listen, I'm a Gotham fan, it is insane that it wasn't a yellow for Reale there. She got beat, turned to watch the ball go past her, physically changed direction and turned around to specifically shove the Spirit player to the ground with the ball nowhere near them. As cynical as it gets.

This atmosphere sucks ass for a championship match. This would've been so much cooler in D.C.

What the signs say 🗣️🏳️‍⚧️

Steel City FC saw off Croatia Cleveland in U.S. Open Cup qualifying to earn a berth in the 2026 U.S. Open Cup first round next spring! Between this and the Hounds winning the USLC title, this is probably the best day in Pittsburgh soccer history.

1) Fuck neutral site finals 2) Fire Berman 3) Raise the salary cap 4) Protect trans athletes and people 5) Go Gotham

With a major stadium expansion on the way, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds have taken care to set themselves up for future success. In Saturday’s USL Championship final, that success came early — and with a trophy 🏆 @usltactics.com breaks down Pittsburgh’s victory over FC Tulsa ⤵️

The Hounds are the first team to lift the #USL-C trophy without conceding a goal in the postseason. FC Tulsa also did not conceded in 450 minutes of postseason action.

One goal is enough when you concede zero! Eric Dick and the defense balled the fuck out

lol just realizing how incredible the run was for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds to the USL Championship title. Conference QFs: 0 goals scored, won penalty shootout. Conference SFs: 0 goals scored, won penalty shootout. Conference finals: 1-0 win Championship: 0 goals scored, won penalty shootout.

Been a joy to cover the Pittsburgh Riverhounds the past 7 years. So happy for the franchise today, the day they WIN THE USL CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY!!!

For the third time, the lower division team that beat New York City FC in the US Open Cup has gone on to win their league championship the same year. * 2015 - New York Cosmos * 2016 - #NYCosmos * 2025 - Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC @opencup.ussoccer.com @hudsonriverblue.com @pghsoccernow.bsky.social

CHAMPIONS!!! #Riverhounds

Guys the trophy is broken

FT - Shootout: Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC 0 (5), @fctulsa.bsky.social 0 (3) The Hounds are your 2025 #USL-C title winner, as Eric Dick makes the key save in the second round of the shootout and Beto Ydrach scores the winner for the first league title in club history!

SCENES

I cannot believe this. I did not think this team had this in them. HOUNDS BABY!

Players of FC Tulsa and Pittsburgh Riverhounds emerge for the USL final wearing shirts calling for better working conditions. The USLPA want "real wages, safety, healthcare, and year-round support." "Pro rel? Try pro standards first," reads the message on the shirts.

everyone correctly noting that any time you put Trump in a room with someone charismatic he becomes extremely complimentary until someone reminds him he hates that person, take a bow he’ll be posting unhinged shit about Zohran again by tomorrow

*LOUD CORRECT DINGING BELL NOISE*

But the real enemy of Jewish people is college students who don't want children being bombed, remember? Fuck all the way off.

The salary cap is like upper tier USL Championship type money and with an NWSL media deal that dwarfs it in dollars. You're mocking the wrong people.

There's a lot of cynical "with what money" comments about Trinity to DC Power and I have to remind you commenters that the fact that a DC Power can absolutely make and afford an unmatchable offer is an indictment on NWSL's structure and owners.

OH MY GOD IT BEING D.C. POWER WOULD BE SO MUCH MORE HILARIOUS THAN IT ALREADY WOULD BE!

This won't happen but holy fuck would it be soooooooo funny if it did.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

The USL’s season is ending, but its CBA standoff doesn’t seem to be. With the USL Championship’s CBA set to expire in one month, questions about the future abound. From salaries to healthcare to the USL's ambitious future, @usltactics.com examines what's at stake. “Tell us what the plan is.”

Wake up babe, Republican Jussie Smollett just dropped

Ernst Tanner has provided the Guardian with the following comment, following the news that MLS has reopened its investigation into him:

NEW: Following our @us.theguardian.com investigation, Major League Soccer is reopening its own investigation into Philadelphia Union sporting director Ernst Tanner. The club says Tanner has since been placed on leave. Details here: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Introduce yourself with the last 5 concerts you've seen. A Day to Remember/Yellowcard/The Wonder Years My Chemical Romance/Death Cab for Cutie Coheed & Cambria/Taking Back Sunday WWWY 2024 Idk the fifth probably The Wonder Years again

Absolutely fucking horrendous shit.

Sharing the video of this because it’s such a ghoulish thing to say that I’m honestly in disbelief that I even heard her properly

And here is why independent, good journalism is so vital. This doesn't happen if @mlsist.bsky.social and @theguardian.com don't shine a bright light on this garbage.

Pittsburgh in the 1940's. That clock is not quarter to midnight, it's quarter to noon.

Every stat favors Uruguay except these: Touches in opponents box Shots inside box Shots on target Set pieces Play to win the game, not possession.

Has... has Pochball finally arrived?

Holy fuck Sebastian Berhalter

Genuinely, if Dell Loy Hansen (correctly) had to sell RSL over his comments, Sugarman should be forced to sell the Union if there's even a hint - and it seems like there is that and more - that he covered any of the Ernst Tanner stuff up. He cannot be allowed to run an org in this league.

Holy shit. This is insane. And a massive, extremely well put together investigation by Pablo. You should absolutely read this fully through.

This sucks. And despite being, in theory, a positive for F1 27's development, I absolutely 100% do not trust EA here. www.ea.com/games/f1/f1-...

Oh, is it time for my annual anger at the baseball HOF process? Looks like it! I'd just like to issue a reminder to the BBWAA that I've solved your problem and am available for questions.

This is what I'm saying. Why the fuck is she still a person anybody is paying attention to?

This is the most important part of the calendar shift, bar none, and it's an easy ruling in favor. Even if you buy into the weather concerns - I don't - and think there *might* be a small decline in attendance for those few games, this benefit more than offsets that cost.
