Shoutout the Angel City supporters for the Free DC chant at 51:00.

Reminder: the Visa Presale application window for #WorldCup tickets closes tomorrow (9/19) at 11:00am ET. Expect long wait times on there as the deadline approaches, so if you're hoping to enter the lottery, today's the day to do it...and remember to pack your patience. fifa.com/tickets

New ep! @mlsist.bsky.social and I unpack the Ally Mackay news and his rumored replacement as CSO of D.C. United. Come for Pablo's witty cynicism, stay for my unhinged MLSNP rants. Appreciate @blazindw.bsky.social & @dreyesceron.bsky.social for their reporting. www.buzzsprout.com/8793/episode...

Erkut Sogut — who has no GM/TD/SD experience — is apparently a near-lock to get what is arguably the most difficult GM job in MLS (a rubble-clearing job that will take years, with a boiling-mad fanbase, and an ownership that has fired its last 2 GMs after less than 2 years).

It's been a disappointing DC United season, and the owners are finally speaking up about the club's struggles. @blazindw.bsky.social sits down with #DCU owners Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan for an in depth interview on what the club's path forward will be to rebuild the trust of the fans.

I had a chance today to sit down exclusively with #DCU's Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan to discuss the direction of the team, an update on MLS Next Pro, and how they can get fans and diehard supporters back onboard through improved performance. For @districtpressdc.bsky.social ⤵️

Looks like a full house cleaning has begun.

ATP is gonna have an emergency meeting to figure out how she got the best 2 tennis players in the world to play pickleball.

Hopefully Mayor Bowser saw this part and realized that kissing the ring a couple weeks ago wasn't worth it cuz now he's talking about removing her.

Peace to NYC. Peace to DC. Peace to Shanksville. Peace to Ted Adderley and the thousands we lost on 9/11. Never forget.

The #USMNT could have some big time friendlies in March in Portugal and Belgium. www.starsandstripesfc.com/soccer-playb...

The only way I can make sense of this is that Poch--and he wouldn't be the first--thinks of American soccer as immature and unserious, and is annoyed that he's being called out by a culture he doesn't feel has the standing to question him.
