On the other hand, he’s slow here to recognize that he needs to mark #12 after this interchange & doesn’t have the recovery speed to get back into the play. This should have been a goal

The on-ball stuff is undeniable but look at the ground Adri (#15) covers here and the angle he takes to stop this counter in its tracks

Julian Hall’s tunnel fit game is #elite already

Mehmeti is #what #they #look #like

Let’s have a weekend

The World Cup has been dragged into a U.S. government funding fight. @theathletic.com:

Good ebening

He kills PSG every time he plays them. It’s a very interesting trend

Folarin Balogun….good at soccer

Weston McKennie, good at soccer

There are multiple people selling US WC tickets at face value in the scuffed discord….of you’ve been striking out so far this may be your best bet

Hello

Midweek!

Shout out to @scuffed.bsky.social for speaking out on our country’s atrocities in their latest pod.

@scuffed.bsky.social ✊

It was pleasure to discuss a wide-range of American soccer issues — from the youth landscape to the World Cup — with Adam Belz on @scuffed.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Playbill winter storm edition

Hopped on the @scuffed.bsky.social flagship yesterday to talk USMNTers and more, and as usual we roamed well beyond - Belz was in his bag on this one. Give it a listen on your platform of choice, wouldya? scuffed.simplecast.com/episodes/659...

Interesting bit on the elite youth club soccer situation in the US — and why it feels unsustainable for some participants — from a @scuffed.bsky.social listener who coaches D3 soccer www.patreon.com/posts/148618...

This weekend playbill might be Richy Ledezma's last 🕯️

Never forget

So funny man I hadn’t stopped laughing since we recorded it. His performance was truly art

🎙️New pod! A draft episode! @awaygoals.bsky.social, Vince, @sanjaysujan.bsky.social and Belz each try to pick the best team from among all the players Pochettino has called up since he took over the USMNT. Full of intrigue and PR campaigns. scuffed.simplecast.com/episodes/657-a…

One of college coaches is on staff @ Indiana so it’s ho ho hosiers all the way….actually now that I type this out Will Stein played a huge role in my brother getting to where he did & he’s kentucky’s head coach so actually idk

The first playbill of 2026!

I mean, the past month he has 3g 2a. His other two first division European szns (non Salzburg) he had 4 goal contributions total in each

Are we in the midst of a Brendo-ssance?

Not even in the academy

What odds you giving

A confident Brenden Aaronson in front of goal is something we’ve never seen

LMFAOOOO

"It's fun to say stuff people don't like![...]America loves to get on overrated white boys[...], the white boy who got a little to much dip on his chip, we love to bring them down too." LMAOOOOOO @scuffed.bsky.social 🐐

Two images that you would only understand if you’ve been listening to the pod over the past month

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

raise your hand if you had no idea what happened to Joe Gaetjens, the guy who scored the famous gamewinner over England in 1950 and then pre-order Leander's book below 👇

Happy thanksgiving everyone youtu.be/oHMlnOjgzjw?...

And please consider becoming a Patreon member to @scuffed.bsky.social , as I did. It's terrific value for money for some of the most insightful and incisive coverage of the #USMNT around. patreon.com/scuffed?utm_...

I went on @scuffed.bsky.social to talk all things #USMNT and my book on the same subject: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... Oh, and you can preorder the book here, thanks for asking! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/722130...

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Probably Balo’s least involved match in a while. Doesn’t matter. Still bags

Sheesh. What a goal to concede

Whether you want to call it CB, elbow back, or whatever, yes he’ll be there. & it’s a position he’s played before for Poch

I’m intrigued!

Playbill‼️

@awaygoals.bsky.social joins us to talk through his thoughts on the pool & the many goals against New Zealand boots-on-the-ground.simplecast.com/episodes/31-...
