Morning soccer friends. I dropped a new edition of my newsletter yesterday. Included: a little on my trip to do @mkickaround.bsky.social from New Mexico United, thoughts on the USMNT culture reporting, and words about DC United and New England. jason-davis-soccer-eagle.ghost.io/the-most-bro...

Oh fine The Distraction (from Defector) @unclearpod.bsky.social @empirepoduk.bsky.social @scuffed.bsky.social @totalsoccershow.bsky.social Still happily married though

Oh boy… @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social @99pi.org @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social @scuffed.bsky.social @doublepivotpodcast.bsky.social

In no particular order: Blank check @thedollop.bsky.social @getplayedpod.bsky.social House of R And probably @doughboys.bsky.social or @scuffed.bsky.social I could pretty easily go 10-15 deep 🫢

Well the last time he faced any team not from Italy he was getting obliterated by every EPL team with Southampton. Man can't handle any game that moves at quicker than a brisk walk

Yunus off in the 75th. Ok to start but that second half was no bueno. Needs to be better

What was this Atalanta manager thinking man-marking PSG

YUNUS MUSAH STARTS

#USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino inherited a “problem” a year ago. The Argentine has been tying to solve it since. A deeply reported, behind-the-scenes peek at the challenges Poch and his biggest stars have faced ahead of the all-important 2026 FIFA World Cup. www.foxsports.com/stories/socc...

let's see if this works

I’m tryna post the proud and excited video but Bluesky won’t let me

Totally forgot to post this btw. PLAYBILL‼️

LMFAO

Weston & Tim both STARTING for their respective teams today

Goddamn Rico we need 4 goals now bro you kinda sellin

It’s ok Rico we just need a hatty now to make up for it

Let’s go

🎙️ NEW POD Vince and Belz go the distance with one of the deans of American soccer broadcasting, @davisjason.bsky.social. We covered everything from the World Cup ticket-purchasing process to the meaning of Balo's performance vs Japan, three at the back, whether Gio's jogging is a problem, & more

Giving Gio a solid B today all things considered

👕 We have teamed up with @protagonistsoccer.bsky.social & artist Matthew Pinchback, to make these official Henny Derby shirts available. Both @rivercity93.bsky.social & @FwdFeatherstone have given permission and were a part of the process. 🦘🦩 All proceeds will be donated! bit.ly/3JUCV1z

What we watching yal we got Malik & Tim on deck

PLAYBILL! Once again…..all eyes on the Foals of Gladbach. Can the power of friendship revive Gio’s career?

Probably not I can’t lie

🎙️ NEW POD @awaygoals.bsky.social and Belz celebrate a solid victory, a sensible defensive shape that sparked the attack, and a bit of a coming out party for Folarin Balogun. scuffed.simplecast.com/episodes/628...

I’m clipping the Japan match rn & the broadcast missed Balo’s best move of the match showing a replay. If you weren’t at the stadium you’ll never know how nicely that man received the ball, #spint off his CB, & got his shot off smh

Idk about worse. Definitely equal tho. In this window Adams & Roldan equal in CARDOSO’s (bad mistakes in possession that lead to big chances for the opposition)

Do you mean this bsky.app/profile/henr...

I gotta watch it back. Thought he was mostly decent. 2 bad giveaways in the 2nd half tho

Didn’t get video but Chris Richards & Tim Weah just walked through the mixed zone with a 3 foot tall speaker blasting Luke Combs’ cover of Fast Car

Reminder that we almost didn’t have Balo this window lmfao

11thou at that match. They just announced 21 here

This has to be the largest pro US crowd in a while

Balogun running at a backline with his hand out... it's a beautiful thing when we hit him with a good through ball

BALOOOOOOOOOOO

This 3 back system has brought Maximillian Arfsten to life. Not mad at it

Max Arfsten to Alex Zendejas…..that was #tough

Balo is him. Instant havoc creator

Plug: I wrote all about this earlier this year! (also there's two!)

Henry Mochizuki, whose father is Nigerian, we love you.
