Getting to the Meadowlands is quite the political topic. My experience? I got my first car in the summer of 1977. I went to every Cosmos home game at Giants Stadium. Sat in upper deck for 8-3 win over Ft. Lauderdale. First big soccer sell-out! Most games were at night. I discovered Route 17 diners!

#USMNT position at No. 9 is so different than four years ago. For one ... It did not have a player like Folarin Balogun. Probably best No. 9 in Ligue 1 over last 4-6 weeks. Scores. Also ... Holds-up. Presses. Highly regarded in France. Read my analysis ... www.socceramerica.com/usmnts-proje...

No newspaper in the United States has covered soccer more and better in its history than the Washington Post. It saw demand and interest decades ago, and answered.

TelevisaUnivision platforms dominate U.S. soccer viewing - Soccer America Spanish-language audiences continue to dominate U.S. soccer viewing.

Why are USWNT players signing with clubs in Europe -- and can the NWSL stop it? While NWSL execs worry about USWNT players choosing European clubs, the lure of UEFA Women's Champions League clubs isn't going away.

Really good story by @jeffkassouf.bsky.social on flight of #USWNT players to Europe. Only thing limiting movement: small number of teams w/ money & ambition. I’d add #UWCL is big factor. Its prestige will skyrocket with CBS deal. Sorry, #CWCC (terrible crowds) is a joke.
