rob stone: 1-0 USA, thoughts on the half? zlatan: weak, zlatan would have scored 3 carli lloyd: too many smiles out there for me, & celebrating the goal? the job isn't done yet. alexi lalas: 5 years later the media is still calling them insurrectionists, but on that day i saw nothing but patriots

Pulisic was matching with other girls on Raya while still in a relationship. Why hasn’t that confidence in front of goal translated to the USMNT?

That Chainsmokers performance was incredibly lame

It’s never a good thing when the far left and the far right agree on something

Steffen, get ready to learn USL Championship, buddy

Just look at this goal. What an awful first touch to tee it up for a volley. MLS continues to let down the USMNT by not developing enough technical talent. By: Tactical Manager

I can’t compete

The USMNT just conceded 9 goals in the last 2 games. Here’s why Patrick Agyemang has absolutely no right to be on the World Cup roster.

Turner can’t stop the long ball. We can’t close down the perimeter. Pulisic’s trail defense is lazy. Is the USMNT cooked from three point range this World Cup? By: USMNT Stan

The friends @barnesandnoble.com must be soccer fans, because they've timed their sale on pre-orders to fall during this international window. Which is to say you can now pre-order my upcoming #USMNT book for 25% off with code PREODER25 through Thursday. Use this final pre-World Cup window wisely.

When a team concedes 11 goals in two games it’s hard to point a finger at any one individual. But if I’m on the USMNT bubble I definitely wouldn’t want to be a key defensive player on a team that has just conceded 11 in the last two.

It’s over, baseball freaks

We go live to the AFCON final

BREAKING: MLS awards 2024 MLS Cup and 2025 Supporters’ Shield to Inter Miami after lengthy appeals process.

Messi, Muller, Son, etc moving to MLS and playing well. Morris, Agyemang, Cremaschi, Freeman, etc. moving to Europe and not failing. MLS youth getting MLS minutes and succeeding. It’s breaking the brains of USMNT X

Since the NWSL starts back up tomorrow, here’s my periodic reminder to let me know of any woso journalist who isn’t already on my starter pack. Any league, any language. go.bsky.app/EucPPCe

This is some kind of sick joke for RBNY fans

Props to Horvath for making his wall take the blame here. Shuffling to the near post, that they had covered, was definitely their fault.

Is MLS developing too many young players?

USL's Winter of Discontent: Why a union busting email is actually a sophisticated tribute to 1980s English football culture

Bad news for MLS

These new NWSL kits are (mostly) incredible! But what are we doing pricing a YOUTH jersey at $110!? In this economy?

BJ Callaghan would have taken this USMNT to heights never before seen. It's a shame the Fed lost him to Nashville, where he continues to show out. Here's why the fates of Ramsay and Nancy prove the USMNT can never be managed by a former MLS coach ever again. By: 11 Yanks

Congratulations to Chris Richards, Folarin Balogun, Matt Freese, Timothy Weah, and Alejandro Zendejas on their World Cup 2026 USMNT roster spots!

Don Garber is playing you again. He demanded Michael Bradley field a team of toddlers to dismantle Orlando, gave a 17 year old player of the matcheeek, and now there are rumors Griezmann is coming to Orlando. Do you not see what’s going on here? Real practitioners see it for what it is. By: 3four3

Bad news for MLS?

How dare someone release raw off field footage of Lionel Messi’s postgame assault on the referee crew before the league office had an opportunity do a full forensic analysis of Messi’s exact coordinates. By: Favian Renkel

After reviewing the post match footage from the Inter Miami vs. LAFC match it’s clear the referee demonstrated a complete lack of respect. You don’t just walk away from the greatest of all time. The entire crew, including the VAR, should be fined for conduct detrimental to the league.

I could win MLS with an average MLS Next Pro team. Not because of the talent level but because of the tactical schooling players receive in Next Pro. Just look at my RBNY team, they do a ton of basic things right and decoded this league in no time. By: Michael Bradley

I’m looking at the MLS sidelines on matchday 1, and all I see is a sea of laptops and guys who look like they’re waiting for an Excel spreadsheet to tell them when to sub. This league has officially traded its soul for PowerPoints. They don't want winners. They want accountants. By: Eric Wynalda

It’s a risky strategy, Forsberg tends not to show up around kids

Michael Bradley really watched those first two MLS games and thought “I’m going to win the Shield with the MLS Next Pro side.”

Are MLS Academies producing too many young professional talents?

But…why? What is this graphic? Why are we torturing fans?

“Football developed in countries that didn’t televise matches. If MLS’ broadcast quality gets any worse, US Soccer may finally be heading in the right direction.” @wstpitchbot.bsky.social

Can’t believe MLS didn’t post this here

The 2026 MLS season kicks off today. Here are the top 6 reasons to watch anything else instead, including why Messi is the most watchable player in the history of football.

Desperate for your X to give you one more chance. Just come on over. Your friends are waiting…

Aguirre says Obed is a "must-select" just because of a move to Atleti? Mexico is cooked! Anyway, it would be a fireable offense for Pochettino not to call up Johnny in March now that he’s healthy. We can’t leave La Liga caliber players, breathing European air off the squad. By: Tactical Manager

Josh Sargent leaving a historic relegation scrap at Carrow Road for a closed league franchise in Canada is a tragedy for the sport. When players aren't willing to sacrifice holidays, comfort, or proximity to a Tim Hortons to play in a proper European pyramid, then the game is truly gone.

I've studied the data and decided to make MLS the Jake Paul of global soccer. The market wants a spectacle. We're marketing every match week to feel less like a traditional soccer league and more like a sanctioned celebrity bout. This is the disruption the sport has been begging for. By: Don Garber

As seen on the other place. Kicking myself for not having come up with this. Gotta do better.

When we stated Kickback Soccer Media, I asked all the co-founders what was the one organization that we most wanted to work with. We had one unanimous answer...St. Pauli. This partnership is the result of not only Kickback's amazing soccer storytelling capabilities, but also an alignment of values.

Following MLS is harder than it should be, so I made an automated daily newsletter that rounds up high-quality coverage from around the league. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow but you can sign up in advance here: tally.so/r/eq6DQx
