    MLS 2022: Our Weird, Fun, Chaotic, Dumb Domestic League

    I'm at 18. By the end of this season I'll be at 21. I'll still be missing NE, PHI, NYCFC, CHA, CHI, TOR, and MTL (plus STL when next season starts). Still, not bad for someone who attended his first MLS match in June of last year.

    MLS 2022: Our Weird, Fun, Chaotic, Dumb Domestic League

    Ola Kamara had quite the time on Saturday: two goals and two yellows in the first half, one of which was due to him taking off his shirt during the first goal celebration. DC United then played the entire second half down a man and eventually allowed Austin to score three goals after the 80th...

    MLS 2022: Our Weird, Fun, Chaotic, Dumb Domestic League

    Austin FC winger and Designated Player Cecilio Dominguez has been suspended indefinitely pending the investigation of an unspecified off-the-field incident. The scuttlebutt seems to be that it's domestic violence-related, but it's just conjecture at this point. At least it looks like Austin...

    USMNT: Hold My Beer

    It's always worth mentioning in conversations like this that Adams, McKennie, Pulisic, Reyna, and Dest have never suited up together in the same game. Ever. We've been through two continental cups and a full World Cup qualifying cycle and we still don't really know what this full squad is...

    Women's Soccer

    Bayern and PSG just had themselves a MATCH in the Champion's League quarterfinals. Bayern was so plagued by injuries that they only had four players on the bench, all of them teenagers. But they took PSG to extra time on the road and only lost because their healthy players absolutely had nothing...

    Americans Abroad 2021-22: The Hype Train Is Leaving The Station

    The Telegraph’s reporting that George Bello is being targeted by Watford. It doesn’t seem like the most stable situation over there right now, but if they get relegated I think he’d do well as a starter in the Championship at this stage of his career.

    MLS 2022: Our Weird, Fun, Chaotic, Dumb Domestic League

    I’m hoping that Ethan Finlay just needs a change of scenery, because his numbers last year were abysmal, and that was on a team that was much better than Austin last season.

    Pat Noonan to Cincy is a done deal. Now I think just Houston and LAFC have head coaching vacancies. View: https://twitter.com/TheAthleticSCCR/status/1470868892667027460

    MLS 2022: Our Weird, Fun, Chaotic, Dumb Domestic League

    Worth noting that the Las Vegas Lights FC (coached by Steve Cherundolo!) currently play in an outdoor stadium. However, most of their home matches start at 8pm Pacific so that'd be pretty tough to pull off in MLS from a national TV perspective. Up to number four, baby! Anyway, I know that...

    Americans Abroad 2021-22: The Hype Train Is Leaving The Station

    On Friday, Chris Richards was on the bench for Hoffenheim but was subbed on in the 36th minute due to injury and finished the match. This was less than 48 hours after he played 90 minutes for the USMNT. Stay healthy, kid. I hope your legs don’t fall off.

    USMNT: Hold My Beer

    So just as a hypothetical, is there a reasonable formation that would get Pulisic, Reyna, and Aaronson all on the field together? Maybe a 4-2-3-1 with Reyna as the 10 and Adams and McKennie in a double pivot?

    USMNT: Hold My Beer

    Incredibly, Pulisic, Reyna, Adams, Dest, and McKennie have still never all been on the field at the same for the USMNT.

    Help Me Pick a Premier League Team

    Find a player you absolutely love to watch, pick that team, develop a deep affection for the club as a whole, then wait for your favorite player to get sold for a stack of cash while you're stuck cheering for a team called the fucking Toffees as they finish between 8th and 12th every year. Who...

    USMNT: Hold My Beer

    Looking forward to Sunday, I imagine we’ll see Dest switching to RB, Robinson at LB, Brooks in for Ream, Acosta in for Aaronson, and (please be fit) Pulisic in for Konrad. I am absolutely terrified of the Dest vs. Davies matchup, but Sergino should not have any sort of role as a LB and I think...

    Pay That Mendes His Money: The Summer 2021 Transfer Thread

    How so? Watch the video if you can stomach it. Son knew immediately that he potentially ruined Gomes’ career. I’ve never seen an opposing player so distraught. Gomes has never been the same after that. It may not have been malicious, but it was horrific and in the parlance of soccer calling it a...

    Americans Abroad 2021-22: The Hype Train Is Leaving The Station

    Chris Richards has been sent back on loan to Hoffenheim, which seems good for both parties. Reportedly, Bayern rejected a permanent move, and extended his contract through 2025. View: https://twitter.com/tsghoffenheimEN/status/1432742478453612551

    El Trafico has been crazy. 3-3 heading into the final minutes.
