It’s almost like the “what went wrong with this USMNT” question can’t be answered with a 300 character hot take that has been regurgitated every four years as if it’s a unique thought. Maybe we should stop that.

I live 5 hours away from the closest MLS team. Here’s why I’ve chosen to support a club 6 hours from home, on a different continent 🧵 👇

It’s finally time…

Oh, well there it is. In black and white.

The Trump Card: FIFA suspends Balogun’s red card, whatever the hell that means, after speaking to US President

Neymar get ready to learn USL Championship, buddy

Sergej Barbarez, who is he? I don’t know him

Malik Tillman what a hit

Raphael Claus: get ready to learn MLS, buddy

On one hand, Edin Dzeko spent his childhood fleeing genocide. On the other hand, Christian Pulisic had to deal with a very public breakup because he allegedly cheated on his girlfriend by downloading a celebrities-only dating app. So both stars know what suffering is like.

The USMNT has been firing on all cylinders and had a chance to rest the first XI in preparation for the Round of 32. But in my hipster heart I’m feeling a cheeks performance that simultaneously undermines the Trump dancer and solidifies the US as a cute underdog that fits my contrarian personality.

Marcelo Bielsa get ready to learn MLS, buddy

We tried our best to do justice to the World Cup’s missing muckraker: Grant Wahl. Profound thanks to @celinegounder.com @chriswittyngham.bsky.social @leefeiner.bsky.social and Briana Scurry for talking to PTFO for this story. youtu.be/WAKE0Ig6Z68?...

Right in the penis, you cowards

That was a really productive half for Pochettino. At this point it’s 100% clear who the first XI and first 3 subs are. Also Haji has now vaulted up the depth chart with 0 minutes. What a half

What on Earth did Haji Wright do to Mauricio Pochettino?

Down 2-0 to the Dutch and only sending 9 players out for the second half is some real galaxy brained tactical work from Herve Renard. The one that got away *sigh*

How did I not think of this?! *Chef’s kiss*

I still think Herve Renard or Marcelo Bielsa could have done a job for the USMNT By: 11 Yanks

Oh shit, that’s John Brooks’ music!

The most LinkedIn-ass post ever. Real “y’all hate me, thanks for having me” vibes. Thank you, Seattle!

I was merely a twinkle in my father’s eye when the USMNT lost to Trinidad and Tobago in Couva, failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Here’s why the Berhalter era was harder to live through as a USMNT fan. By: Gregg Beerholder 🍺

my new favorite bit in one of the group chats is when world cup games go to the second half hydration break, a bunch of dudes put up 4 fingers for the 4th quarter like it's college football

MLS take note: THIS is how you deal with underperforming managers. It’s called accountability.

First ballot hall of fame type cluelessness

Curaçao might lose this match 10–1 but also hell yes

Glad Gio got a chance to jog around and pass the ball backwards. Thank you, Paraguay, for providing the safe space the US’s top nepo baby needs to feel comfortable

The Y in Tyler stands for yellow. Literally the only reason taking that card makes any sense

Fuck yes VAR

Nah no way they stole my bit

3-0 USMNT in the first group game! Honestly not sure what to do here. Is that the best half they have ever played? Crap. Who do we shit on? Paraguay? Will you guys like that? By: Tactical Manager and 11 Yanks

GODDAMNIT, Matt!

Julio Enciso STARTS for Paraguay. Big development for the USMNT

Has Alexi Lalas been drinking or has he gone off the “old man” cliff? Yes

Inspired by Landon and Clint, my love of the game also started in ‘94. My dad took me to Giants Stadium to watch Ireland v Italy. The kindest older Italian couple ever was sitting in front of us. A group of over served Irish young men in a box behind Everyone had the time of their lives. ❤️ ⚽️

Alexi Lalas: In ‘94 I was on a flight in the middle seat, economy, and the woman next to me asks, “you can make money playing soccer?” That woman was a…what do you English call it? She was a c…

No question about it, I’m ready to get hurt again. LFG!

FIFA officially debuted its mandatory “hydration breaks” during yesterday’s World Cup opening matches, effectively dividing the games up into quarters and introducing commercial breaks inspired by traditionally American sports. So why does it feel like this was pulled from Don Garber’s MLS playbook?

FIFA’s integrity is beyond question and so is CBP’s. When two world class organizations reach different conclusions about the same individual, you simply trust the process on both sides. Omar Artan could be both highly qualified and also have vetting concerns. By. Alexi Lalas

I’ve talked about how Miles Robinson was culpable on Germany’s first goal, but on the second watch I want to point something out. Miles Robinson is 1000% at fault. No way Ream could react. Freese could never get there to punch. Adams had to make the foul that led to the free kick. By: 11 Yanks

This is a real shame for Encisco, Paraguay and the World Cup. I take issue with the framing that this is in any way a boon or “big development” for the US. Sort of gross

The lack of self-awareness on display at the other place continues to be unmatched

“How do I put the slides into presentation mode?!”

Another reason you bring a teenager instead. They are only married to the game.

Seth Bacon, EVP Media at MLS, claims live match viewership is up 62% year on year. Here’s why more people watching the league is actually bad news for MLS

Per sources: Mauricio Pochettino was seen in discussions with his wife between training sessions. Absolutely inexcusable for the manager of the USMNT to not give this World Cup and this team his full attention.
