Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee

Our goal is to pay each reporter a modest $25/game. We're REALLY close to that goal ($2,375 per year). Ultimately, we would like to get up to a more respectable $50/game ($4,750 per year). And that's just for the tournament proper. Help us reach our goals here: thecup.us/2025/04/15/t...

If MAGA is upset about Bad Bunny in the Super Bowl Halftime Show, just think how they’ll feel when he’s elected President.

That Szoboszlai hit. Wow.

On this MLK Day, one particular passage from his address at the March on Washington seems especially relevant.

🚨HOLIDAY BONUS EPISODE We look at the movie VICTORY: how it was made, how it influenced a generation of US soccer, and how many impressions Kirk can jam into 40 minutes.

Updated the first few seasons of the old NASL plus the 1966-67 & 1967-68 seasons of the ASL. Fun to see some player crossover between the leagues. Taking a pause from the Silver Age to dig into some updates for the 1940s ASL. socceralmanac.com

Miller’s Crossing is on my list too. Here’s another one I can’t turn off if it’s on TV

Tomorrow is National Miners Day, which probably isn’t a big deal in your family, but it is in mine and I’m working tomorrow so we’re doing this tonight The Labor Department barely acknowledges WHY December 6 is set aside, so I’m going to turn the mic over to my mom for a minute

INFANTINO: You make that fake peace prize trophy that I’m giving to Trump? SCULPTOR: Sure did boss, real fuckin creepy just like you asked.

I realize it butts up against the WC draw but if you’re interested in US soccer history, please join in! Besides, you can follow the draw with the sound off anyway (which may be preferable in parts today)

When soccer comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a crypto wallet

This isn't "qualification", it's allocation of leftover teams (no offence to said teams). US Soccer, MLS, et al, should be looking to grow this important historic tournament not diminish it. For the second season running the defending champion won't get to defend their title.

One of the best
