Granted, it will be the funniest thing in world history if Argentina wins this on penalties

Tactical analysis: not high on Rebecca Lowe’s sequins today

Before you lock in for the World Cup final, catch up with all things USL Championship – including Pittsburgh’s yo-yo week, Detroit’s scintillating attack, and a big leap for New Mexico.

After another weekend of USL Championship action, @usltactics.com ranks all 25 teams in the league 👀 📈 Detroit City, New Mexico United & more 📉 Indy Eleven, Louisville City & more Read up on the latest for your club ⤵️

There are very, very few USL midfielders that are better than Jamie Webber at attacking open space. Good example here, where he drifts right from the No. 8 spot, connects through lines, and keeps pushing forward to open room for trailing combination play.

Trevor Amann's historic hat trick in the span of 3 minutes, 27 seconds set Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC on its way to its first home win against @loucity.com all-time. Quick recap, analysis and full highlights from F.N.B. Stadium. www.uslchampionship.com/news_article...

watching soccer

When Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC was founded in 1999, it played at Bethel Park High, a 30-minute drive south of the city. Now it's a fixture in the Steel City with a full training facility, Academy, the #USL-W League's Riveters SC, and stadium expansion plans. www.uslchampionship.com/news_article...

Whenever Boise starts creating transition chances consistently, they're going to be *very* hard to beat. Good example here. The 5-4-1 stays clean (via nice Gasso/Moshobane rotation), Jake Dengler chooses the moment to intervene, and it's quick and decisive post-recovery to beat the counterpress.

If you want detailed film study of Cristo Fernandez’s USL debut (and of his Phineas and Ferb cameo) I’ve got you covered www.backheeled.com/analyzing-te...

checked my phone and got a no-context text from my mom that’s just Jude Bellingham showing ass

Cristo Fernandez has played 17 minutes of pro soccer, and you could count his touches on one hand. Still, we’ve already learned a lot about his ability to hang at the USL level. I dig into the tape to see what Fernandez can bring for El Paso. www.backheeled.com/analyzing-te...

'Ted Lasso' actor Cristo Fernandez's pro soccer debut generated millions of social media views. But can the actor behind Dani Rojas really hang in the USL? @usltactics.com combed through the tape to assess every key moment from his first professional game ⤵️

🚨 Sporting Jax first win alert🚨

Love when Pittsburgh gets cooking like this as they change from phase to phase. The movement from Eliot Goldthorp (who receives between the lines) and Perrin Barnes (pushing up the right) asks questions of Jacksonville's midfield, and there's space to work through the center from there.

“Thanks World. We’ll take it from here.”

Incredible scenes in Knoxville, where we've got a red card foul for Fort Wayne literally three seconds into the match

In case that somehow didn’t live up to your expectations, there are 6 USL games tonight

After that third place game in Miami, he’s just a short 2 hour drive from his next coaching gig at FC Naples in USL1

I will say, we should've seen this coming from Tuchel after the end of that Mexico game

England Englanding omg

Djed Spence tackle of the tournament

Ooooooooooh that Harry Kane drop in

There's some news about a new player in the locker room, and some signs that a couple more are on the move. We also take a look around the league and see where all the Zephyr players are landing, who's upgrading, and more! #EnergizeTheBay youtu.be/Q_gOJPH1LRI

When the aliens arrive we’ll play them Wonderwall to teach them about our culture

The USL Cup has produced entertaining moments. But has it boosted attendance, created more attacking soccer, or strengthened rivalries? @usltactics.com took a deep dive into what's working, what isn't, and how the tournament could improve. Read ⤵️

You’re only a real USL fan if you’re riding on four Prinx tires

Barajas is a terrific signing for Monterey. Curious whether he’s used as an inverted winger (as in Charleston) or more of a cross-first left-sider, but the creative upside Barajas provides at the USL level is immense.

Meanwhile, in Group 6, we've got a great game going between the Charleston Battery and Charlotte Independence. #USYNT forward Colton Swan scores his 11th goal of the season across all competitions to level for the battery. Winner earns top spot in the group, whether in regulation or a shootout.

Cristo Fernandez in the books with his first professional yellow card (lol)

It's him

The median player in the OC lineup tonight can’t vote

Rhode Island's doing really well to sew chaos through Brooklyn's lines tonight – not easy to do against Marlon LeBlanc's defense. Great example here as Jojea Kwizera dishes to Pity Rodriguez to go up 1-0.

Unironically must-watch soccer

In the *actual* cup that matters, make it 3 goals for Barry Coffey in his last 35 match minutes as Hartford goes up 1-0 on Westchester.

Know what prestigious cup competition doesn't have VAR or spider wires hanging above the players? Yes, the Prinx Tires #USLCup. Final day of the group stage, 19 games from 7 p.m. ET throughout the night, all on ESPN+ or ESPN2. www.espn.com/watch/catalo...

Regular reminder that all games should go straight to penalties without extra time

VAR is so fucking bad man
