4/5 of Sounders top PV contributors being defenders is not ideal.

Which young MLS stars should you be watching as the league returns to action? These are the budding talents making the biggest impact and putting themselves on the radar of European suitors ✨ @jakeburgess13.bsky.social ⤵️

Well that didn’t work right

No work calls will be answered between the hours of 3 pm and 5 pm

MLS is loaded with young talent right now 📈 But which rising stars are worth paying special attention to? These are the MLS talents making the biggest impact and putting themselves on Europe's radar. @jakeburgess13.bsky.social ⤵️

Stoked to have done a little work with @backheeled.com and @joeclowery.bsky.social recently. Read about some young MLS gems.

In the one I’m in Donovan grew his hair back

Me if I don’t lock in

MLS break + long weekend sized rabbit holes

Or nah

Neymar needs to be careful on these tackles or he’ll miss the semi !

Does this mean Neil Kennedy is a go for USA vs Belgium

Pepi game winner vs Belgium. Just sayin

Fabrizio, how is Tottenham doing this?

One thing you'll notice in every chart in this article: the USMNT has been playing like some very good teams

Wrote about World Cup playstyles and tactics using some cool models made by my @futi.live friends open.substack.com/pub/futiapp/...

The day Diop had a profound boost on Starbucks and Celsius revenue on the American East Coast

The Bear season 5, Lewandowski, and Mbokazi. Very strong week for Chicago

here for a jesse crash out

To me, that's cinema www.instagram.com/reel/DaHmqoz...

Burgess own goal. We’ll take that boys

Putting a bird you once lost a war to on your badge is crazy

Europeans when they try whataburger and watch USA MEX CAN go undefeated through the group stage

Wrote about why Michael Olise is the key to France’s World Cup chances for @futi.live

Don’t forget about us Petar

I feel this would only happen when he’s in my fantasy squad.

It’s real. Locking in

This Diomande fella seems like he knows what he’s doing

Girlfriend says they are playing soccer on love island tonight. Not sure if I’m being pranked

Not a huge fan of teams spending big on players based off of World Cup vibes. That said, somebody needs to go ahead and offer this 18 year old from Lille a check. Completely controlled the tempo of the game against Brazil.

Read about what made the USMNT so good in a historic World Cup performance. Stoked to contribute a small piece to the Futi launch. Thanks to @johnspacemuller.com for the opportunity.

Paraguay hasn’t let in more than 2 goals in a game since June of 2024 against Brazil 🤷‍♂️

Tyler truly cannot help hisself. He has to taste flesh

Pulisic + Robinson fluidity and connection was on point. I don’t hate preserving Puli for the rest of the game as I see this one getting spicy. S/O @futi.live for saving me hours from trying to make my own less good version of this.

Talking to NYC while Puli drops dimes in the background was not on my bingo card for 2026

Made a World Cup coverage starter pack, going to be adding to it all tournament so feel free to drop recs

At my best friends engagement party I learned have a condition where 2-3 IPAs causes me to explain field tilt and PPDA to friends of friends who definitely didn’t ask

Iceland circa 2016 vibes but instead of Gylfi Sigurdsson it’s Odegaard, Haaland, and Sorloth coming at you 🥶

Me trying to get to MetLife for Morocco Brazil game

Julian Hall is so good at going invisible off of the shoulder of center backs with his movement. I used possession value added to identify some key moments like these for 5 young MLS ballers.

Wrote a stats backed film deep dive on the best U22 players so far this MLS season ⬇️

Puli Pepi combination is working great. More importantly, Poch haircut is reaching peak length levels. Clear Mancini influence

Still a work in progress. Going to try and get these into articles following the World Cup.

This is a smart move by DC. With a little bit more time to develop and mentorship from Baribo he’s on the verge of becoming an awesome player.

Given how injury prone the USMNT is I still have medium sized hope Luna will put on the jersey

Best attacking performances from Matchday 15. Prince Owusu continues to show why he's the most underrated striker in MLS.
