Morocco Moves On, a Six-Pointer in London, and MLS in Motion: Morning Espresso, 12.30
Morocco closed the AFCON group stage with authority, delivering a statement performance in Rabat as the Atlas Lions move into the knockout rounds with momentum and unity. We recap where the tournament stands, why Morocco now feels central to the competition, and how the wider picture is taking shape across the groups. In England, all eyes turn to north London for a genuine six-pointer as Arsenal host Aston Villa. We break down why this match matters so much for the title race, what makes Villa such an uncomfortable opponent, and how injuries, form, and belief could define a pivotal night in the Premier League — with Manchester City watching closely. Plus, MLS gears up for the road to 2026. With training camps just around the corner, clubs across the league are making defining roster and leadership moves, while new data shows MLS climbing into the global mainstream as one of the most-watched leagues in the world. We also go Around the Corner with SDH AM and set the stage for a year ahead that will shape soccer in our region forever.

The Morning Espresso opens with a major conversation in MLS as the Colorado Rapids put their identity in the hands of supporters, launching a fan-driven process that could shape the club’s future ahead of a pivotal 2026. From there, we turn to a busy Domestic Focus, with NWSL news headlined by Catarina Macario’s contract situation, stadium momentum for Denver Summit FC, rising club valuations, and continued investment in young talent across the league. Globally, AFCON delivers late drama and early statements, with Zambia rescuing a point, South Africa breaking a long opening-day drought, and Egypt leaning on Mohamed Salah once again. We also check in on Real Madrid’s uneasy calm... maybe the telenovela is taking a break for the holidays.

Atlanta United 2 sits at the center of the club’s development pathway, and José Silva now officially leads that process as head coach. After guiding ATL UTD 2 to the best finish in club history as interim manager, Silva discusses his journey through the Academy and the Second Team, how he balances player development with the demands of MLS NEXT Pro, and why tactical and emotional growth are just as important as technical ability. Silva also explains how Atlanta United 2 mirrors the First Team’s playing style, the importance of meaningful late-season matches, and how the Second Team prepares players for the jump to MLS.

Washington Wins It, United Blows It (Again), and Adams’ Injury Cloud: Morning Espresso, 12.16
Manchester United scored four at Old Trafford and still couldn’t win… because this one turned into pure bedlam. On today’s Morning Espresso, we start with the College Cup final and an instant classic in Cary as Washington capped a dream postseason with a 3-2 overtime win over NC State to claim the first national championship in program history. The Huskies built a 2-0 lead, the Wolfpack roared all the way back to force extra time, and then Washington found the winner less than two minutes into overtime—celebration, video review, and all. Then we get into the chaos from Monday night in the Premier League: Manchester United and Bournemouth drew 4-4 in a game that swung three different directions and never stopped accelerating. United led, lost the plot, rallied late, and still had to settle for a point in one of the most entertaining matches of the season. And the big U.S. men’s national team concern: Tyler Adams exited after five minutes with what Bournemouth suspect could be MCL damage in his left knee. We’ll talk about what it could mean short-term, and why the bigger picture—2026—is what makes this so nerve-racking. All that, plus a quick spin through the rest of the global and domestic headlines in The Refill.

High Impact Players, High Impact Night in Monterrey: Morning Espresso, 12.12
On today’s Morning Espresso, we dive into a pivotal moment for the NWSL as the league moves toward a new “High Impact Player” mechanism — a seismic shift that could redefine how top talent is paid and retained in the United States. We break down what the change means, why it matters now, and how it connects to the Trinity Rodman saga. Across the Atlantic, all eyes are on Liverpool as Arne Slot prepares for crucial talks with Mohamed Salah that will shape the club’s immediate future. We walk through the tension, the timeline, and the stakes heading into the weekend. And in Mexico, Tigres take the upper hand in the Liga MX final thanks to Ángel Correa’s early strike in Monterrey. We recap the first leg and what it sets up for Sunday’s decisive return in Toluca. Plus: updates on Vancouver’s stadium pursuit, Inter Miami’s roster construction, Premier League struggles at Wolves, Manchester United’s financial spiral, Real Madrid’s latest ultimatum for Xabi Alonso, and a full look at the NCAA College Cup semifinals.

Conference Finals in Miami & San Diego, Flamengo–Palmeiras for Glory: Morning Espresso, 11.28
Jason Longshore breaks down an absolutely massive Saturday across the global game. In MLS, both Conference Finals take center stage as Inter Miami — powered by Lionel Messi’s historic postseason form — host underdog NYCFC, while San Diego FC’s dream expansion run meets Vancouver’s magical season out West. We dig into the key storylines, injury questions, tactical turning points, and the defining players who could send their clubs to MLS Cup. Then it’s off to South America, where the Copa Libertadores final delivers a true heavyweight bout: Flamengo vs Palmeiras in Lima. Two Brazilian superpowers, two contrasting paths, and one trophy that may define the decade in CONMEBOL. Plus: the UEFA Women’s Nations League final kicks off, Europe’s giants face rising pressure, and Arsenal–Chelsea headlines a huge Premier League weekend. Serie A title contenders clash, Liverpool try to steady the ship, and the latest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern fills out a packed global rundown. It’s your Friday Morning Espresso — MLS, Libertadores, Europe, South America, and everything in between. The game never stops — and neither do we.

Chelsea Roll Back the Years, City Rue the Rotation, Pochettino Talks Belief: Morning Espresso, 11.26
Chelsea rolled back the years with a vintage Champions League performance as Estevão dazzled and Barcelona crumbled. Manchester City, meanwhile, were left to rue Pep Guardiola’s rotation gamble after a shock defeat to Bayer Leverkusen snapped their long home unbeaten run in Europe. And in a revealing conversation with Andrés Cantor, USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino opened up on culture resets, criticism, and the belief he wants to instill ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Plus: a full Wednesday matchday preview, NWSL record-breaking numbers, big developments across Brazil and Liga MX, the latest on the World Cup draw, and a loaded Refill from around the globe.

Dreyer Delivers, Champions League Nights, and more: Morning Espresso, 11.25
San Diego keeps writing history. Anders Dreyer’s thunderbolt sends the expansion side into the Western Conference Final, and we break down how SDFC’s relentless identity carried them past Minnesota. Then it’s a massive Matchday 5 in the Champions League, with Chelsea-Barcelona, City-Leverkusen, Marseille-Newcastle and a full slate of storylines across Europe — injuries, returns, selection battles, and knockout stakes everywhere you look. We’ll also hit the latest on the Vinicius Jr.–Xabi Alonso tension in Madrid, Manchester United’s unraveling under Ruben Amorim, Wilfried Nancy’s likely move to Celtic, River Plate’s dramatic Clausura exit (and Santiago Sosa’s heroic masked return), plus the full field for the 2026 U.S. Open Cup and key results in the NCAA women’s tournament. As always, The Refill brings the biggest headlines from around the world — from Premier League rights intrigue to Japan’s new cup champion and updates for historic clubs in Portugal and Bulgaria. Grab your Morning Espresso. The game never stops — and neither do we.

Gotham’s Grit, Messi’s Magic, and NYCFC’s Smash-and-Grab: Morning Espresso, 11.24
Gotham FC do it again — rising from the No. 8 seed to claim their second NWSL title in three seasons, powered by Rose Lavelle’s cold-blooded finish and a postseason run built on grit, self-awareness, and big-game edge. We dive into the moments, the quotes, and the chaos that shaped their championship night. Then it’s on to MLS, where Lionel Messi put on a masterclass to carry Miami into the Eastern Conference final, and NYCFC pulled off a smash-and-grab upset in Philadelphia to silence Subaru Park. Plus: Vancouver’s wild nine-man shootout survival, San Diego–Minnesota preview, Premier League tension, Serie A drama, Barcelona’s Camp Nou return, and everything you missed across MLS, Europe, USL, Liga MX, Argentina, and the college tournaments. Your Monday Morning Espresso — strong, global, and Around the Corner from Everywhere.

From Paris to Guatemala, World Cup Dreams Still Alive: Morning Espresso 11.13
On today’s Morning Espresso, we go around the corner from everywhere as World Cup dreams burn bright across the globe. From a solemn and emotional night in Paris as France marks the 10th anniversary of the 2015 attacks, to the electric, combustible atmosphere in Guatemala where a nation chases its first-ever World Cup berth, the stakes have rarely been higher. We break down the clinching scenarios across UEFA, the pressure on Cristiano Ronaldo in Dublin, Italy’s push for momentum, Croatia’s showdown with a fearless Faroe Islands, and the wide-open chaos in Group H. Then it’s over to Concacaf, where Jamaica, Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica, and Guatemala face make-or-break nights with everything on the line — plus the latest from Africa and Asia as playoff paths tighten. We’ll also dive into MLS’ looming structural overhaul, NWSL’s continued expansion with Atlanta’s 2028 club now official, global transfer ripple effects, San Lorenzo’s crisis, and a busy slate of Women’s Champions League action. World Cup roads twisting everywhere — and every dream still alive. This is Morning Espresso.
