@Graff04238875 @Whats_Shakin_ @El_Bambastic @IvanOrnelas2 1998, 2022, and now 2026: it always seems to be an interesting time for that matchup (should it happen).

[Ryan Maquiñana @RMaq28]

According to @FotMob, Daniel's 66th-minute PARADÓN in the video had a post-shot expected goals (PSxG) number of 0.77! Human eraser.

[Tectonic Takes @TectonicTakes]

@StatsObsessed The end of the break lines up well with Timo returning from injury but Niko will still have another month or so.

[Tectonic Takes @TectonicTakes]

Inter Miami will win this game but more importantly is the hope that whatever Lionel Messi felt in his leg that urged him to signal for a substitution doesn’t prevent him from taking part in the World Cup in 3 weeks.

[Tectonic Takes @TectonicTakes]

@timeless2022lol He held his leg and requested a sub. Hopefully he was being cautious and it’s nothing too serious.

[Tectonic Takes @TectonicTakes]

Lionel Messi subbed out in the 73rd minute. Next stop: the 2026 World Cup.

[Tectonic Takes @TectonicTakes]

Philadelphia Union and Inter Miami are going into the World Cup break with a bang!

[Tectonic Takes @TectonicTakes]

Bay FC’s defense held firm for an hour but Chicago’s Star player Mallory Swanson broke the deadlock.

[Tectonic Takes @TectonicTakes]

Cometti red means Bay FC will play 78+ minutes down a player

[Kasey Kazliner @KaseyKazliner]

At the World Cup break, Preston Judd has 11 goals in across the San Jose Earthquakes’ first 15 matches.

If he keeps up this pace, he’d finish with nearly 25 goals when the regular season ends, the most by a Quake since Chris Wondolowski’s 27 in 2012.

[Favian Renkel @FavianRenkel]

He did it again.
