"A saturation of soccer": Why empty seats litter the Club World Cup and Gold Cup. This was a group effort with reporting from @lizzybecherano.bsky.social, @marcotti.bsky.social, @jamesolley.bsky.social, @cesarhfutbol.bsky.social and Rob Dawson. #GoldCup #CWC2025 www.espn.com/soccer/story...

I took a crack at deciphering the latest #MLS Salary release for the Fire and added some additional contract information. The #FootballManager player in me could not resist the urge to dive into the numbers. #cf97

2025 Chicago Fire Salary & Roster Breakdown One of my favorite days in the MLS season is when the MLS Players Association releases salary figures for its members. They do this twice a year (Spring/Fall) after a transfer window closes. It started way back in 2007 and its how fans know that…

El Salvador is about to play the second half down to NINE men, so…don’t think we’ll see the La Selecta upset there. Don’t throw an elbow period…but definitely not when there’s VAR!

TCK Podcast: Post-Game Reactions vs Costa Rica Diego Segura joins the pod for a post-game reaction to Mexico’s 0-0 draw versus Costa Rica and a look at the Gold Cup campaign so far.

After playing a full group stage in a week, the #USMNT now has a week off. Mexico essentially gets the same time. It's an unfamiliar feeling for teams used to a tight calendar. open.substack.com/pub/getconca...

I forget how much of a cannon Luis Chavez has. Unlucky it was right at Keylor.

Rondón reminds me of that dude in pickup basketball who looks out of shape and gets picked last but ends up being the best player. He just knows all the tricks and where to place his body. #CWC

Bryan Gonzalez has played well at CWC for Pachuca. Not just cuz of his golazo either. But test today versus Real Madrid but he is holding up.

Curacao's bold second half against the #CanMNT sent a reminder to the #USMNT & #ElTri : Anyone can beat (or draw) anyone in the Gold Cup. open.substack.com/pub/getconca...

not good for Seattle early on versus Atletico Madrid.

Mexico vs Suriname Mexico stayed as the Group A leader with their 2-0 win over Suriname. Let's dive into the match.

I accept both!

Kind of a bizarre goal for Montes puts Mexico up 2-0

average position for Mexico through 65 minutes. maybe a little narrower than Vasco would have wanted tonight.

awkward as hell for Juventus today at the White House

HT: Mexico 0-0 Suriname Mexico not creating enough danger and Suriname getting more chances than expected. El Tri need much more creativity in the final third, wouldn't be surprised if Cesar Huerta steps on soon. Same with Santi.

Raul Jimenez up to 3 Key Passes in the first 25 minutes of the game but still scoreless for Mexico. #GoldCup

According to SofaScore, Johan Vasquez is worth as much as the entire starting 11 for Suriname. Still 0-0 through 22 minutes

CONCACAF spent over $500k on the temporary grass at AT&T Stadium.

“Too much DEI” - Lalas when it’s time to find reasons why the USMNT are struggling

Did Guatemala just score the best team goal of the tournament ? I await @jonarnoldfc.bsky.social thoughts in his next newsletter

Good on Edson Alvarez with the celebration. IYKYK 🇲🇽 Javier Aguirre wouldn’t speak, but the Mexican captain did, and he dedicates his goal to the Mexican fanbase.

It turned out that Mexico needed someone to step up against a Dominican Republic that was feisty in its debut. Edson Alvarez gave El Tri the leadership - and a goal - it needed. For @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...

México is big favorite (-850) to win tonight against an overmatched Dominican Republic and they are starting 2 d-mids? No mames Vasco. *cries in Marcel Ruiz.

Mexico opens up their Gold Cup campaign tonight. Here is how they wrapped up their pre-tournament friendlies. Also available on YouTube: youtu.be/YwePND_3rks?...

Wrote about SGF, ICE, and covering the event as first-generation US born person.

Cool story on the company behind the wild kits many keepers wore in the 90s, including Jorge Campos

Alleged leak of upcoming Club America jersey. The front of jersey sponsor hinders it but I like it so far.

U.S. Soccer needs to start considering some Club World Cup level pricing for the fall friendlies. Right now, it's not worth the price of admission.

Per ESPN Stats & Info… The #usmnt has conceded four goals in the first 40 minutes of a match for the first time since November 9, 1980 at Mexico and the first time ever at home.

Quick read on Mexico vs Switzerland before they take on Turkey tonight. www.thecolorfulkit.com/2025/06/mexi...

There are email offers for the Miami CWC opener of five tickets for twenty dollars. Four dollar tickets. To see Messi.

“Both sides are bad” Sir one side is stomping on unarmed people with horses…

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

The 1st thing Landon Donovan does on the UEFA Nations League post-game show is slyly call out USMNT players skipping the Gold Cup lol

I guess I’m out of the loop but didn’t realize Amazon Prime Video already had exclusive rights to these UEFA Nations league games in the US.

Always great chatting with @thecolorfulkit.com 🇲🇽⚽️
