So I wrote a thing about my journey with #Crew96 from the last MLS Cup (my third Crew game) to now. Would really appreciate it if you gave it a read 💛🖤

From one final to another, and everything in between. An MLS Cup and #Crew96 journey. https://t.co/5YmxvxNgfG

Vozinha was one of the standout performers in this summer’s World Cup, and now the Cape Verde goalkeeper has been recognised by having a newly-discovered species named in his honour.

A new species of marine mollusk has been named after the 40-year-old by Spanish researcher Jesus Ortea.

Ortea made the discovery of the new species — a small sea slug of red appearance and about four millimeters that was, until his published work, unknown by science — and has named it Aldisa vozinhai (in English, Vozinha’s sea slug).

#NWSL NEWS: Gotham FC is moving to Etihad Park in Queens in 2028. They'll have a dedicated locker room + customized digital signage to make it feel like its own stadium.

Jessica Berman tells ESPN that Gotham in NYC "is incredibly valuable to the league." https://t.co/HQdT5ABPtV

[Pablo Iglesias Maurer @MLSist]

Belgium head coach Rudi Garcia says that US forward Folarin Balogun approached him after the final whistle.

"I told him it is not his fault, he’s not the one to blame. I really appreciate the intention and I appreciate this player."

We are on to the 2027 Women’s World Cup

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

You believed. You filled stadiums. You brought the game into homes and communities across the country.

Most of all, you showed everyone what this crest means. Thank you.

[Michael Caley @MC_of_A]

we'll never know but when

-the two days before the match are eaten by news of political interference and corruption
-the team comes out, each and every one of them more or less, looking utterly unready for the moment

it's hard not to think USSF and Trump are responsible

[The Crew @ColumbusCrew]

Our nation’s run comes to a close 💔

A historic journey for the U.S. has come to an end. Our city, the Crew Fam and our country couldn’t be prouder of Max and the USMNT, despite the result tonight. Thank you for representing the Stars & Stripes with heart and passion 🫶

A Moment Max Will Never Forget 🇺🇸

Max Arfsten makes his World Cup debut in the Round of 16, stepping onto the international stage in Seattle against Belgium in the 92nd minute.

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

Ronaldo screaming “I’m back” after two goals against Uzbekistan and then scoring one charity penalty before being knocked out of the Round of 16 again is my highlight of the World Cup unless he gets arrested later.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

[Pablo Iglesias Maurer @MLSist]

US president Donald Trump has done the whole of American soccer a disservice by involving himself in the Folarin Balogun red card saga.

It's an unsusprising overreach that confirms the negative perceptions many already have about this country. My column: https://t.co/40sy94BtgE

[Michael Caley @MC_of_A]

FIFA making up a reason to rescind a red card suspension and then making up an appeals process to potentially rescind the recension, just in awe of the governance of the sport

[Pablo Iglesias Maurer @MLSist]

Have to say - at this point I'm shocked there hasn't been a warning or stoppage in play re: the p**o chant at the Azteca. It has been audible all night and has grown louder as the match has progressed.

Bellingham put in a monster performance. Beyond the goals, he ran his heart out and was everywhere. What a giant of a player.
