I really like Stu Holden, but that was... not a difficult pass for Freese to deal with. At all.

Espérance grab their first-ever Club World Cup win at Geodis Park. Awesome game, great win, and one of the best atmospheres I’ve seen at a game. Only 13k fans at the stadium, but they were in full voice the full 90+ minutes. Awesome stuff.

It was ugly, even frustrating, but the USMNT were able to grind out a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia to book a spot in the Concacaf Gold Cup knockout rounds.

Using this back three shape in buildout is totally fine. But also, maybe use players in roles that actually make sense for their skillsets? Is that too much to ask?

Zero lineup changes from the Trinidad game (good) Freese starts again (great) Wright not even on the bench (weird)

Here in Murfreesboro watching Nashville SC’s U15s in the MLS NEXT semifinals. Really impressed with several of these kids, as well as just how structured Nashville are in possession. A lot of similarities to the first team.

In their 2-0 win over Chicago, Nashville finally showed the ability to close out games with possession that Hany Mukhtar has demanded for years. June 2022: "The best teams in the world and in the league all have the ability, even if you're leading 1-0 or 2-0, to control the game with the ball."

That was an incredibly entertaining second half from the Sounders. Took the game to Botafogo and created more than enough chances to win it, but missed quality in front of goal and couldn't overcome two pretty poor goals in the first half. The effort, though... unbelievable!

Just looked at the numbers. - Botafogo spent $25m on new players last week. - Seattle have spent $40m on players in their entire history.

The USMNT breezed to a 5-0 win over Trinidad & Tobago in their 2025 Gold Cup opener. While the win may not have answered many of the questions around this team, it at least lifted the mood a bit.

Dwight Yorke rocking a "Dwight Yorke 19" branded hat on the touchline of Trinidad's Gold Cup match against the United States. Respect.

I think this is probably the best XI at the moment given this roster and the injuries they’re dealing with.

@benwright.bsky.social with some final thoughts after Nashville SC's 2-0 win over Chicago Fire. They're on an 11-match unbeaten run, up to third place in the Eastern Conference, and it's time we start talking about them like a legitimate contender in MLS. More at SixOneFiveSoccer.com.

FT: Fantastic win from Nashville SC to reach 11 matches unbeaten, equaling their club-record stretch set all the way back in April-June 2018. Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge stepped up, Andy Najar changed the match off the bench, and Joe Willis was spectacular. They're rolling.

Incredible individual work from Surridge there to give Nashville a two-goal lead on the road. Nashville had to suffer through a lot of this match, but their two DPs have stepped up when needed. Andy Najar and Jonny Pérez have changed this game off the bench.

In seven matches against the Chicago Fire, Hany Mukhtar has nine goals. Happy Father's Day to him.
