For the #USMNT, the effort wasn’t in question. As Mauricio Pochettino said afterwards, it was a relief to just be talking about the soccer. So how was the soccer? It was ok, except when it wasn’t. Me, from East Hartford: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

as a person from the suburbs of NYC I must make clear that "bacon cheese and egg" is not how a suburbanite says it, it's how an alien from a planet where lead instead of carbon is the foundational molecule for life says it

I wrote about @jessejdavis.bsky.social, an American computer science professor running an influential soccer analytics research team at an ancient university in Belgium. Much of the leading data analysis is still being done outside soccer. Why? @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Cool for soccer in Chicago. But am I the only one more interested in learning about the Puerto Rican rapper saving endangered toads?

Fun story from @leanderalphabet.bsky.social, which also makes a pretty compelling argument that funding university research is, in fact, quite a good idea for everyone.

Voter turnout in NYC local elections does not reflect well on the young and young-ish portion of our population. Please register to vote in the mayoral primary by June 14. It is a closed primary, so you MUST be registered as D or R — NOT independent or WFP. vote.nyc/page/registr...

Loved this story from @eoinocall.bsky.social on the Vancouver Whitecaps, who are representing their country the best way they know how: With under-the-radar excellence. "Maybe it’s the Canadian way: to do good things but not speak about them very much" www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Denis Bouanaga has been ridiculous all game long, be he reached a new level in the last 15 of regulation and continued it in extra time. A man on a mission, at the center of everything. Insane.

Concacaf's lack of organizational involvement is going to keep this LAFC-América game from going too far off the rails, and that's really too bad.

I knew when I was considering whether to live blog this f'ing game that started at f'in 10:30pm ET that it would absolutely go to extra time and probably penalties and yet I did it anyway. What is wrong with me. Anyway, descending into madness here: www.theguardian.com/football/liv...

Re-upping for the evening readers. Some thoughts on Mauricio Pochettino looking at one of the most talented (if not the most) US men's squads of all time and deciding he needed to recapture some old USMNT identity. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

There's a lot of USMNT angst, and a lot of it is understandable. But in going through all the abroad-based players' seasons, I was struck by how many key guys had...pretty good years! Some better than others, but the day-to-day big picture is pretty encouraging. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
