A matchup between teams from AFCON and CONCACAF has to have something odd happen.

Manchester United versus Manchester City is a situation where we choose between incompetent management and willful rule-breaking.

I’m rooting for willful rule-breaking. Why? The Premier League could fix that. The only thing that can fix incompetent management is shame.

It should surprise no one I am #TeamXabi - he will coach again and he will be fantastic.

Manchester United’s retrotopia dooms them to repeat the same mistakes again and again The club's sepia-tinted caretaker manager search underlines how it remains trapped by its illustrious past

History has judged panem et circenses harshly, but not because of the food.

I very much enjoyed this episode; one key for the growth of local lower level soccer clubs in the U.S. is tapping into similar funding sources as college football but with the added difficulty (for new clubs) of not having alumni networks.

What I love about that picture is there are 4 high school players in that group of 6.

We ( @blueridgefc.soccer ) provide the opportunity for kids to shine, and those young men seized it.

We’re coming back in 2026. This is what opportunity looks like.

Are you going to take it?
