column coming tomorrow but i am also pleasantly surprised

I gotta hear high level thoughts from @tombogert.bsky.social, @empiregass.bsky.social, @soccerwisehq.bsky.social, @andrew-wiebe.bsky.social, & @mattdoyle.bsky.social on these opening 3 CWC games for MLS sides… I’m honestly pleasantly surprised.

I have to say, I’m really proud of what #LAFC just did against Chelsea. The club’s first ever game internationally against a non-CONCACAF side and they had their chances vs a Premier League side! Missed chances & I think ultimately a lack of depth hurt them. But they competed!

Denis Bouanga ready to fight Neto has me hyped! #LAFC #CWC2025

Ryan Hollingshead is playing Chelsea… wild stuff in 2025 man #LAFC #CWC2025

I really can't wait to watch LAFC vs Chelsea later today #LAFC #CWC2025

It's a weird time in soccer right now... MLS, Club World Cup, Gold Cup, etc. But trying to factor in all comps, here are the Post Matchday 19 Power Rankings: 1. #LAFC 2. #DOOP 3. #VWFC 4. #AllForCincy 5. #InterMiamiCF 6. #MNUFC 7. #SDFC 8. #Crew96 9. #Sounders 10. #OrlandoCity

Chat GPT is wild!!! Created a cartoon version of our latest podcast episode 😂 @jasvevang.bsky.social

Botafogo are going to rue the day they got grouped with Danny Musovski

An absolute much needed win for the #USMNT to open up their 2025 Gold Cup! Breaking a 4 game losing streak & beating a team that they should Now keep this focus & momentum, onto Saudi Arabia!!!

Easily the best game we’ve seen Malik Tillman play with the #USMNT

Inter Miami get a result in game 1 of the FIFA Club World Cup! A 0-0 game & two excellent performances from both club’s keepers!!! That’s also an extra $1m for Miami too! #InterMiamiCF #MLS

FAFA GOD DAMMIT WHAT A MOMENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN!!! #InterMiamiCF #MLS

Jason loves the Fafa sub 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Crazy that #InterMiamiCF are still in this game after that half… Ustari PK save, Miami awful in getting back on defense, Aviles should have a red card… wild #MLS

Time to find out what the hell this Club World Cup will look like… #MLS #InterMiamiCF

This is absolutely fantastic to see! A U.S. soccer legend getting his first managerial job! The man is from New Jersey, drafted by the NY/NJ Metrostars, and now is back! You love to see it! #RBNY #NYRB #USMNT

I will say... the Pulisic interview today did not help conversation we had on the podcast episode that dropped today #USMNT

Diego Luna looks like the only player coming out of this with his stock raised. 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 Pat Agyemang if we're being generous.

Diego Luna should start every USMNT match, I don't care.

I feel like every few months we have to go onto the podcast & dive into how the #USMNT is at a low point. Missing the World Cup in '18, losing to Panama in the '23 Gold Cup, not advancing from the Group in '24 Copa America, & finishing 4th in the last Nations League...

I'm turning this off... clearly nobody in a U.S. jersey cares. Why should I? (I'm not turning it off I will hate watch alone in a dark room) #USMNT

I can only imagine Sebastian Berhalter in the locker room at halftime like... "my dad would never" #USMNT

At this point Trinidad & Tobago might smoke us in the opening game of the Gold Cup #USMNT

I mean from Arfsten not closing down fast enough to neither CB aware of the player between them... what is this defending??? #USMNT

The backline from this #USMNT squad... yikes

BOOOOOOO

New York sports fans could simply choose happiness by deciding to like soccer. It's true!

This is a fun graphic going around NY sports social media #RBNY #NYCFC

Shoutout to Dante Sealy on scoring a brace in his Trinidad & Tobago debut! T&T have some big games coming up including a WCQ game vs Costa Rica & Gold Cup matches vs the U.S. & Saudi Arabia

I am currently on a 10 hour trip from Ontario back home to New Jersey… with that I’ve been scrolling @transfermarkt.com (thank you) Just some random thoughts on a list of players with expiring contracts who I think MLS clubs should try to invest in (at varying levels)

Huge multi club ownership news

🟡🇫🇷 Sources: Columbus Crew reject an offer from Toulouse FC for wingback Max Arfsten. Arfsten, 24, has 3 caps with USMNT. He has excelled under Wilfried Nancy in Columbus. www.givemesport.com/columbus-cre...

🇨🇦🟣 Sources: Anderlecht pushing to sign Canadian int’l midfielder Nathan Saliba from CF Montréal. Saliba, 21, already has 78 first team apps. Ready for next step. Anderlecht sporting director is Olivier Renard… who was MTL sporting director until 2024

Zack Steffen departs USMNT camp with knee injury, the fifth player -- and second goalkeeper -- to drop out since roster announcement. Returned to Colorado for evaluation. Gold Cup roster due tonight. Current keeper corps: Turner, Freese and Brady. The latter two are uncapped.

This was tough… idk, how do we feel about this XI? #MLS
