On November 4, USL Championship club North Carolina FC announced it would shut down operations at the end of the season - just four days before a crucial playoff game.

I talked to some of the players about the human cost of seeing your team fold

MLS ASG roster initial XI is out:

- Messi the only Miami player to make it
- Son Heung-Min named for the first time
- Zavier Gozo selected
- Tim Ream and Sebastian Berhalter the only USMNT players in the squad.

Don Garber/Dean Smith will pick the remaining 15 spots.

The stories told about Gio Reyna haven’t changed much.

Reyna has, though. He’s just been waiting for people to notice.

We spoke about changing perspectives, reputations, growth, his place in the #USMNT, and why now’s the perfect time for new questions.

Adam El Manawy shipped a nearly 50-year-old car from Brussels to Baltimore, and is going to drive across the country, following Belgium at the World Cup.

He does not have a return flight, and he hasn’t booked any accommodation.

In a word: why?

A record 44 active MLS players have been named to World Cup rosters.

103 WC players have been in MLS at some point in their career.

19 came through MLS Next Pro. A big win for the league.

An exclusive convo with Kaka, in full:

[Tom Hindle @Tom_Hindle_]

Brazil legend Kaka became a World Cup winner at just 20.

Representing the Selecao is one of the most coveted positions in football, but comes with huge pressure.

Here’s what he told GOAL about dealing with that pressure - and whether the current squad can win a sixth star. 🧵

[Tom Hindle @Tom_Hindle_]

Now, the pressure is off. Kaka felt it as a player, and saw the opportunity slip away. Now, he is a fan.

“I’m really hoping that this is the good moment for Brazil to win the World Cup again,” he said. “We wish that Brazil can win the sixth star, back in the U.S.”
