Bruno doesn’t choke

This last bit needs to be repeated around the world We've allowed it get to the point where if it's a call against your team then it's almost always a "bad call" I'm fine with that in the stadium to some extent, but I've seen it get out of hand despite the ref actually calling a good game

This reads like exaggerated rhetoric meant to make a point, but it’s just a literal description — if anything slightly understated! — of what’s happening

What is powering this hype train(s)!?

Eric Ramsay of Minnesota United among names under consideration as Southampton ready themselves for next season in the Championship.

It's kid's day at Subaru Park, so Cavan Sullivan will get 29 minutes. I think this disqualifies him from the post-game kid's kick on the field.

5th clean sheet of the season for the Union. I wrote this week about what they've improved so much on defensively www.delcotimes.com/2025/04/24/a...

Wow, Peglow is out for DC I wonder if they are going to try to rush Benteke back, it will be interesting to see if he's 100% #doop

Washington’s dream

The reason why MLS’s salary cap rules are the way they are is so a team like Vancouver can always have a shot against a team like Miami. It’s not about poor owners holding back the league, or whatever, it’s about giving fans a fighting chance to experience glory.

As shiny as the final score was in the Union’s 3-0 win over Atlanta, that doesn’t mean all is well. In particular, Bruno Damiani hasn't scored since his debut in early March. He's frustrated about it, and didn't mind telling me: www.inquirer.com/soccer/union... via @phillysport.bsky.social

The USLPA struck a deal with IDA, which manufactures women's-specific cleats, to provide all USL Super League players with access to cleats. There's a research element as well as it relates to improving the cleats, which aim to be one of the many solutions needed for injuries.

It's so great to see the GOAT playing so well & with such commitment in the Concacaf Champions League. He knows this tournament isn't beneath him. I'm talking, of course, of Brian White.

The lawsuit alleges that Omnicom Media Group and Ogilvy Public Relations, along with several of their subsidiaries, illegally assisted in “sportswashing” the image of Qatar.

cool seeing my story at the top of r/ussoccer oh wait, it's some content sludge mill that copy and pasted my story. ah well, nevertheless.

Is there a World Cup coming to the United States next year? You wouldn't know it from the state of the soccer journalism industry in this country. One of these billionaires should pass on buying some 3rd tier English club and put the money into American soccer coverage. Or do both!

"We cannot only rely on a certain core group of players all the time... it wasn't about bringing in the one player who says, ‘I'm here, I'm the starter, I run the show.’" Vancouver Whitecaps are in many ways the anti-Inter Miami. Which adds to tonight's spectacle: www.mlssoccer.com/news/vancouv...

Philadelphia Union injury update, Maurice Edu is still out. There is still no time table for his return. #DOOP
