Had the honor of commentating the 2025 @NPSLSoccer National Championship this weekend at Kezar Stadium with the very talented @supertornado3 for @tourbeausports. Here’s a look at the match winner!

[Derek Rae @RaeComm]

There are new ⚽️ fans being created in the USA & of course it would be remiss of me if I didn’t point you in the direction of the Bundesliga if you want to see players like Olise, Kane and Diaz every week as well as the stars of tomorrow & unbeatable fan culture/atmosphere.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

The final should really be here. Commercial, broadcasting and political reasons doubtless why it isn’t but Azteca beats any of the other stadia for atmosphere and heritage.

[Charles Wollin @cwollin]

Hard to catch your breath after that. An all timer with a pace off the charts. Credit to both sets of players who gave everything. Mexico were brilliant all tournament and as co-hosts. England’s game plan was stellar as they grew in confidence. #WorldCup2026 #eltri #threelions

BREAKING @TheAthleticFC

Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium with his one-game red-card ban suspended. Extraordinary development.

#USMNT striker Folarin Balogun on his immediate reaction to red card:

“I think it was just important to stay calm. I never want to react out of anger and out of emotion. There’s still lots of people we’re inspiring, little kids, boys and girls who are watching, and we have to show them the correct way to handle things, even when you think it's unjust.”

On shaking ref’s hand postgame:

“As said, you can feel like something, injustice can happen to you. It’s not an excuse to be disrespectful… I'm aware that the World Cup might be the first time a lot of American viewers are tuning in. So it's important just to show people, whether things happen to you, good or bad, just to continue to be yourself.”

Cape Verde just continues to show their mettle and gets more magical each match. Here for it. #capeverde #WorldCup

[Kate Rooney @TheKateRooney]

Thank, Kruk, for these words.

As a native San Franciscan, I found this situation extremely upsetting. Kruk and Kuip have so much influence among Bay Area sports fans, and for Kruk to speak up on this is powerful.

I could hear my neighbor yell out pure joy a full block down my street with that last brilliant Messi wonder strike. #WorldCup #Argentina
