I know we JUST finished #USOC2025, but we've got *59* qualifiers for #USOC2026 this weekend (Oct. 11-12). We need reporters to cover the games (or at least provide updates). Our full list of cities we need help with are in the comments. Email us here: www.thecup.us/contact-us

The Minnesota Legislature has come to rely on catchall ‘omnibus’ bills. But are they illegal? www.minnpost.com/state-govern...

I know we've covered these issues before, but still interesting. Could see a D1 pro women's side in the Cities and a D2 in Fargo.

The 2025 US Open Cup Semifinals feature four teams seeking their first @opencup.ussoccer.com title. Who looks good going into tonight & tomorrow? Plus a look at qualifying results! Open Cup Digest on @hudsonriverblue.com: www.hudsonriverblue.com/us-open-cup-... #USOC2025 #DOOP #EveryoneN #MNUFC

Story | More than a Match: Part One Last weekend @northstarashle.bsky.social had the chance to interview @texaszeller.bsky.social about the Annunciation shooting, the Wonderwall, the tifos, and being a parent in these times.

Tonight, a special story on #MNUFC ‘s first contest since the tragic shooting at Annunciation School & Church. More than a Match: Part 1 drops on @northlandsoccer.com 6pm CT.

Love it!

FWIW. I've known Andreas Davi since I moved to the US and was helping set up FC Fargo. It hurts to read about this.

In @nwslsoccer.com action, Louisville City's goalkeeper Jordyn Bloomer just saved a PK and then a flying tip over the bar. Her team is up 1-0 against the run of play.

For the last 22 years, we have relied on volunteers to help us cover this hidden gem of American sports. Lately, a lack of pay has made it more difficult to recruit reporters. We're journalists & historians & not marketing gurus, so we have turned to Patreon to raise money: thecup.us/2025/04/15/t...

The Roxie is also offering two virtual screenings of the movie so if you are in a city that does not have a scheduled screening (like me) or unable to attend an in-person screening there are options to watch the film. Thank you @sfdirewolf.bsky.social

Finished reading Peter Schmeichel's autobiography, now back to @sfdirewolf.bsky.social 's book, paused because I was busy caregiving at the time.

🔴 Why the 'Lack of Loyalty' Trope in Lord Tebbit's Cricket Test Didn't Work Whatever Norman Tebbit hoped to achieve by asking Asian immigrants which cricket team they would support to determine their 'Britishness' has failed spectacularly, argues Shamik Das

Sad, understandable.

The comeback queens are on their way to Stillwater (Oklahoma)

First @wpslsoccer.bsky.social score of the day: Niagara 1812 0 Sporting CT 9 So SCT move into Sunday's East Final.

Thirty years but three hundred, and three hundred more, would not be enough to wash away the shame of executing children. The Srebrenica Genocide is the apex horror of a broader genocide of the Bosniak people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Remember — and educate. Today, tomorrow.

This is encouraging.

It's a busy day tomorrow. I count a playoff-seeding fight in USL2 and semifinals in NPSL and WPSL, and we'll keep you up to date with it all on @lightsfootball.com

Saturday and Sunday, the @wpslsoccer.bsky.social playoffs reach the Central Regional semifinals. Good quotes from all the clubs involved.

As a lifelong Man Utd fan, I don't normally spend time thinking about Liverpool players. The death of a present player, Diogo Jota, is different. He was only 28 and no one should die that young. There are already calls for his number to be retired, which very rarely happens in European footy.

Good afternoon from Fargo-Moorhead. I'm settling in for an evening of @wpslsoccer.bsky.social playoffs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wed... at 5pm. www.youtube.com/live/SoD7M4h... at 7pm www.youtube.com/live/0FPxIfV... at 7:30pm www.youtube.com/live/2YdtDp2... at 8:30pm

With Pride banned by the Orban government, about half a million people took part in Budapest today!

Mankato United winning tonight gives them an interesting jolt of momentum just before they face St Croix Legacy in their last match of the season on Sunday. As for St Croix, a win on Sunday would seal a playoff bid. Follow @lightsfootball.com as WPSL enters the postseason.

The fact that geography is being used as a tie-breaker pretty much guarantees Duluth v Joy and Siouxland v either IDH or Thunder in the North Conference semifinals.

I’ll tell you one thing Nazis hate is queer joy. I’m gonna throw some dollar bills at drag queens tonight and celebrate life.

Tampa Bay Sun v Fort Lauderdale United for the USL Super League title on Peacock. 6:30pm kickoff

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

I wrote this. I don't think I can phrase it better. Sometimes the best phrasing comes on the spur of such difficult moments.

Fun, if unusual, to be on @mnaurorafc.bsky.social duty for @lightsfootball.com . Today's recap is a true team effort. Up now on lightsfootball.com

I'm on the recap, be gentle with me.

I'll be doing the triple header. Join us.

A short slate of amateur games today, but they all have (or will have) streams: Sioux Falls Thunder FC v Duluth FC - NPSL www.youtube.com/@SFThunderFC (I expect they will post an exact stream closer to kick-off) Joy Athletic Club v Iowa Demon Hawks - NPSL fan.hudl.com/usa/mn/mendo...

Land of the Lakes Division #WPSL Update: St Croix Legacy jump to playoff positioning by virtue of the head to head with Salvo. Bliss lose some steam but remain competitive in third.

Let's Go, Rise.

It's been a really interesting start to the @wpslsoccer.bsky.social season.

Let's Go, Whitecaps.

Happy and safe Pride Month to you all.

It's @whitecapsfc.com Champions League Final Matchday. Let's Go, 'Caps.

Match Thread | USL-W MN Aurora FC @ River Light FC (Aurora, IL) @mnaurorafc.bsky.social sits at #1 in the Heartland, ahead of #2 River Light on total goals scored. Follow here for limited match updates or watch along with us on their stream: sportsengineplay.com/USL/River-Li...

Congratulations to Agnes Beever-Jones. A first half international hat trick is quite something.
