What ever happened to the eye test? PowerPoint decks and meaningless stats like xG are sucking the soul from the game. Football is turning into the baseball of the modern day - a nerd’s wet dream.
Here’s why MLS soccer dot com’s lack of statistical data is a bad sign for the league’s future
Donnarumma, get ready to learn MLS, buddy.
You’re going to fit in just fine

With the departure of Matt Crocker from US Soccer, it got us thinking: is Berhalter to blame?

Crocker spent two years talking about "alignment" and the “US Way" only to dump the project for a bag of Riyals before a single ball is kicked on home soil. He didn’t fix pay-to-play; he just found a bigger payer.
FC St. Pauli presents the Peace Prize in the US for the first time. The award honors individuals and initiatives that stand for solidarity, participation, and respectful coexistence. The first recipient is Wes Burdine, owner of the Black Hart of Saint Paul in Minnesota.

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.

“A goalkeeper who is so good with his feet” referring to Steffen in the year of our lord 2026. Goodness me
I just wanted to take a few days off and go on Spring Break with my family. Is that too much to ask?!
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.
Portugal announce their kit for Tuesday night
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?

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.
god damnit, matt
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
