Adding to the Black & Gold backline ➕⚔️

The Columbus Crew have acquired defender Eric Bailly, who most recently played for Spain’s Real Oviedo and possesses 12 seasons of experience combined between La Liga and the English Premier League.

Tennessee has been totally irrelevant on the national level since 1998.

[The Buckeye Nut @TheBuckeyeNut]

Since the 2014 season, how many national championships has Tennessee won? How many College Football Playoff wins? CFP appearances?

Spain. Argentina.

JP Dellacamera announces that the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be his last as a broadcaster

[Derek Rae @RaeComm]

Sent JP a note earlier but for those in other countries who don’t know him, he was broadcasting ⚽️ in the USA when it didn’t have anything like the status it enjoys now. Deserves the plaudits coming his way.
Always nice to catch up with JP around big tournaments.

The USMNT scored a program-record 11 goals during its 2026 FIFA World Cup run, shattering the previous record of 7 goals set by the 1930 and 2002 squads ⚽️💪

Nine were scored by U.S. players, while two came via own goals. Here's a look at every goalscorer from the historic campaign 🇺🇸

[U.S. Soccer Men's National Team @USMNT]

The most watched non-NFL sporting event of the 21st Century in the United States.

Thank you to all of our fans who tuned in throughout the tournament.

[Shawn Nelson @Shawn_Nelson_]

There are scant few, if any, better soccer commentators anywhere in the world for my money. Always an informative and entertaining listen. Hopefully has many more big games and tournaments to come!

[Derek Rae @RaeComm]

What a fabulous way to go out here in Atlanta with a classic on @FOXSoccer
Thanks to co-comm Rob Green for his spot on analysis throughout & Martin Keegan (pictured) & Andy Quinn on production.
Lucky enough to have been involved professionally in every World Cup since 1990. 🙏

[U.S. Soccer Men's National Team @USMNT]

Dear America... Thank you for standing with us and for believing in this team. Thank you for believing in the future of soccer in this country.

A toda nuestra gente... Gracias por su apoyo y por creer en este equipo. Gracias por creer en el futuro del fútbol en nuestro país.

With history within its grasp, the U.S. will look back at the 2026 World Cup as a missed opportunity 🇺🇸

The USMNT was favoured to beat a powerful European team in the World Cup’s round of 16 for the first time ever.

But with all the momentum in the world, with more talent than ever before, it looked just like the 2022 team that lost to the Netherlands.

It looked just like the 2014 team that lost to Belgium, or the 2010 team that lost to Ghana. It looked far worse than the 2002 team that beat Mexico at this very same stage, then gave the Germans all they could handle in a quarterfinal.

It looked like American men’s soccer’s progress had, over the past month, been vastly overstated.

Alas, we again looked lost against a superior opponent on the biggest stage. We’re still clearly miles away from the big boys and it doesn’t feel like that’s going to change anytime soon. Here’s to hoping the future will be much brighter than it appears for #USA Soccer.

[Shawn Nelson @Shawn_Nelson_]

Well, that was a really fun ride for four games, but a very disappointing and frankly, embarrassing end to the tournament for the #USMNT. It always felt like this was our one chance to do something special with our best ever generation of players and a home #WorldCup.

[FOX Sports @FOXSports]

A team that inspired a nation. Thank you, @USMNT.

[Shawn Nelson @Shawn_Nelson_]

We go again! Survive and advance!! #USA 🇺🇸🦅⚽️
