ROG ON LIFE AFTER GREGG (AND 3 LESSONS WE MUST LEARN) 🧵

Farewell, Triple GGG. A dark ending to a long, surreal, frustrating tenure that never really peaked. A period that was the best of times & the worst of times. (1/22)

Bob Cousy signed for an estimated $50,000 to become Commissioner of the American Soccer League, a "sport I know nothing about, but willing to learn."

Just a reminder that on a blustery, overcast April 8, 2006, @rihanna performed in a parking lot outside Giants Stadium prior to the first ever @NewYorkRedBulls match following the re-brand of the team.

In a parking lot mind you, prior to the game.

[Revs History @NERevsHistory]

#OTD, 2/10/02: The @NERevolution selected @TaylorTwellman with the second overall pick in the 2002 MLS SuperDraft. With the fourteenth overall pick the Revs selected @JosephShalrie. And the rest, as they say, is history...

Starting a new #MLS player spotlight series this week!

The Insigne’s/Chicharito’s of the league are great and all, but I want to tell the stories of the players who are under the radar!

Who’s an underrated current MLS player you’d like me to spotlight?! 🤔⬇️

[FOX Soccer @FOXSoccer]

With today's win for Argentina, @ATLUTD's Thiago Almada became the first active @MLS player to win a FIFA World Cup 👏👏

[USMNT Only @usmntonly]

Class and respect from Tyler Adams with the way he handled this question today 👏

This is how BBC opened coverage of World Cup 2022. Stark contrast to Fox Coverage in United States. Please take a minute to watch. This is how this World Cup should be contextualized 🙌
