Borussia Monchengladbach and #usmnt midfielder Gio Reyna has joined the ownership group of Ft. Lauderdale United FC, which has a women's team in the USL Super League and will have a men's team in USL League One starting next year. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Updates from #NWSL headquarters in NYC: Berman's contract renewal, player safety decisions, a shift in expansion processes, and waiting on the launch of a second division.

Multiple sources tell ESPN that the early prognosis on Tristan Blackmon's knee injury is he has a sprained MCL. He's expected miss about 4 weeks. The hope is to have him back for the MLS Cup playoffs. He'll definitely miss the October int'l window, but could return for November. #usmnt #VWFC

Gio Reyna goes 74 minutes in his debut for Borussia Moenchengladbach in 4-0 loss to Werder Bremen. 21/31 passing, but I thought he did alright, & should have had an assist in the 37th minute, but Robin Hack didn't hit the target. He'll gain more sharpness as he gets more minutes. #usmnt

Overheard in the press box at SJvLAFC. "Rodrigues at right back. Let's see how that works out." Narrator: "It didn't." #Quakes74

Willing to be corrected here, but Pepi back among the goal-scorers is probably the best news of the day. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

After a September window that was a bit all over the place, here's version 2.0 of the #usmnt Big Board. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Alejandro Zendejas seemed to be an afterthought for #usmnt manager Mauricio Pochettino. But the midfielder siezed his chance in the 2-0 win over Japan, leading Pochettino to say the attacker "is in the race" for a World Cup roster spot. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Pochettino on the play of Alex Zendejas. “With this type of performance, he’s in the race” for the World Cup. #usmnt

The #usmnt salutes the fans. Happier vibes all around for sure.

FT: #usmnt 2-0 Japan. Much improved performance from the US, though it did come against many of Japan’s reserves. That said, big nights for Zendejas and Balogun. Pulisic did his bit as well, and had much more room to run. Now eyes turn to the October window – and who gets called in and who doesn’t.

Downs coming on for Balogun. Terrific night for the Monaco man. #usmnt

Goal #usmnt! Pulisic gets the ball in space, finds Balogun with a through ball, and he delivers a clinical finish. 2-0 now to the #usmnt.

Here come the reinforcements for Japan; Mitoma, Minamino and Kamada. #usmnt

HT: #usmnt 1-0 Japan. Zendejas w/a real moment of quality to put the US up. The US has really been lacking that kind of skill lately. Japan's attack had their moments, including a pair of chances late in the half, so plenty to do to see this game out. Backline needs to be cleaner with distribution

Goal #usmnt! Arfsten with the cross and Zendejas with the sweet one-time finish. Gorgeous goal.

Anthem time. (We’ll see if it’s winning time). #usmnt

Pochettino trots out three center backs, as he hinted at yesterday. Zendejas gets a start at attacking mid backed by Roldan and Adams. Balogun with the deserved start up top. #usmnt

Another Ray Hudson-ism. "Miami, falls apart like six-week old broccoli."

Ahead of Tuesday's friendly against Japan, #usmnt manager Mauricio Pochettino was adamant over the progress the U.S. has made: 'We have a plan' www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Suarez’s 3-game suspension is in line for past spitting incidents. Not sure how Busquets avoided additional games for punching an opponent in the face.

Pochettino doubling down on his assessment of Saturday’s game. Says he’s even “more positive” about the way the team played. “The players did what we want…The players trust in the process.” #usmnt

Just 9 months from the start of the 2026 World Cup, Pochettino is still figuring things out. Does he know his best XI? www.espn.com/soccer/story...

All present and accounted for, save for the injured Zawadzki. #usmnt

U.S. Soccer spokesperson says that Sean Zawadzki suffered a knee injury in training before the South Korea game. He is no longer with the #usmnt. No details on the severity of the injury. #Crew96

Mauricio Pochettino & the #usmnt were stressing the positives following the match vs. South Korea. One problem. There were few to be found in a 2-0 defeat. As Pochettino continues to experiment, the team's performances are causing alarm just 9 months before the WC. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

USMNT player ratings: Defensive issues vs. South Korea www.espn.com/soccer/story...

A lot of happy talk from Pochettino. Said that the #usmnt created more chances, controlled the game. Said results won’t matter until the World Cup. Wow. I get he doesn’t want to bury his team publicly, but still…This team isn’t playing at all well IMO.

South Korea manager Hong Myung-bo on the atmosphere in today’s match. “It was like a home match. So I would really like to appreciate all the fans.”

FT: #usmnt 0-2 South Korea. US looked better after moving to a 3-back system, but damage had been done by then. Richards nearly got one back from a set piece but couldn’t convert. Another game where very few questions were answered in a positive fashion.

HT: #usmnt 0-2 South Korea. US struggled defensively on multiple fronts that half, both when South Korea went direct and in quick combinations. US was slow of foot and thought. The US had its chances through Berhalter and Weah, but couldn't finish. Interesting to see what Poch comes up with now.

Goal South Korea. US cut open by a simple 1-2 that put Son in on goal. Freese cleaned Son out, but Lee Dong-Gyeong was there to clean up the mess. US backline has really been exposed in this half.

Son Hueng-Min puts South Korea up 1-0. Through ball in behind Blackmon, who tried to recover but couldn't stop Son's shot from a tight angle.

Very pro-South Korea crowd. #usmnt

Anthem time. #usmnt

Tristan Blackmon gets his shot. Big opportunities for Arfsten, Berhalter and Luna. Can Sargent break his streak? #usmnt

Starting September with this Starting XI! 🇺🇸 #USMNT x The Home Depot

Tim Weah, asked by @jeffreycarlisle.bsky.social if he stands by his use of the word "evil" to describe critics of Christian Pulisic: "100% - I stand by everything I said." Then says he's focused on the positives & moving forward now.

Mauricio Pochettino and Christian Pulisic need to be on the same page if the #usmnt is to be at its best at next year's World Cup. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

U.S. Soccer announces that Cristian Roldan has been added to the #usmnt roster. He’s been outstanding for Seattle this season.

Regardless of what happened on the field, Sunday still felt like a festive L.A. homecoming for Son Heung-Min. There's plenty he offers on the pitch, but off it in nearby Koreatown and for the overall Korean-American community, the love for "Sonny" is profound. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Looks like the MLS Disciplinary Committee will be putting in some overtime over the next few days.

Even though Luis Suarez's disgusting behavior came in the Leagues Cup final (& will thus result in a hefty suspension in that competition) there is precedent to suspend him from regular season play. MLS suspended Clint Dempsey for 3 games following his ejection in a US Open Cup match in 2015. (1/2)

Driven by RFK Stadium lately? Do it. Quickly. It’s coming down. On an inevitable outcome, the nostalgia that goes with it — and a baseball buried beneath. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

Josh Sargent with two more goals for Norwich City in their 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers. He leads the league in goals with 5 (he has another in the League Cup), just one ahead of fellow American Haji Wright, among others. #usmnt

The decision to switch clubs less than 12 months before the World Cup requires a fine balance between risk & reward, even if the end goal is always the same: Get in the best playing situation possible so the manager has no choice but to put you on the WC roster. #usmnt www.espn.com/soccer/story...

This week's World Cup countdown focuses on a few players returning to health, as well as a fresh start for Gio Reyna. #usmnt www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Been chasing this story for quite some time with @lizzybecherano.bsky.social. Welcome to Necaxa: Translating Wrexham playbook for Mexico. Here's what Rob Mac and Eva Longoria had to say about their new Liga MX project: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

One more time! Pochettino's roster for the Sept. window contained some head-scratchers. He says it's the last chance to look at new players b4 the WC. But w/time in short supply, he may be squandering one of the last opportunities to develop chemistry w/top players. www.espn.com/soccer/story...
