Ready to go for the only important and interesting thing going on in Atlanta today, the US vs Panama at Copa America! Weird there was so much traffic and road closures on the way here though...anyway, pregame starts 5p ET/2p PT on FOX

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

Getting ready to roll at the home of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, and the site of the 2016 Copa America final between Argentina and Chile. They go at it again tonight on FS1 after Canada vs Peru

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

Well, worst case we can just watch the game via the giant video board! Super excited to see the US on the field for the first time at this year's Copa America, taking on Bolivia in their opener, live on FOX after Switzerland vs Germany from the Euros

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

A scorcher outside today, but nice and climate controlled inside NRG Stadium, thankfully for me! It'll be rocking tonight as Mexico and Jamaica kick off their Copa America campaigns, live on FS1 after Ecuador vs Venezuela

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

Such a beautiful building, been a long time since I've been here! Excited to be back and to be starting Copa America; Argentina takes on Canada in the opener, coverage begins 7p ET/4p PT on FS1

Two of my favorite events each year are back-to-back today on FOX! First it's the Masters Agility Championship at Westminster at 2p ET/11a PT, followed by The Great American Soccer Rivalry as the Timbers play the Sounders!

The #WestminsterDogShow returns today on FOX!

Tune in to the 11th Annual Masters Agility Championship at 2:00 PM ET on FOX 🐶

I'd argue that Jorge is one of the most remarkable (and underrated) stories in recent American soccer history. Got his shot in the pros via a reality show as a teenager (https://t.co/pXIa1BNA4v); won titles in MLS and Liga MX, and a Gold Cup with the US, in a 15-year career!

[Jorge Villafana @JVillafana19]

After 15 years of playing soccer at the highest level I have decided to retire from the sport that has given me so much joy and fulfillment. I’m proud of the trophy’s I have won the goals I have achieved and the friends I have made along the way.

Thanks you soccer!

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

We ride again! Join us on FS1 next

[FOX Sports PR @FOXSportsPR]

How about my fellow @UOsojc alum @Fletch_Johnson with the terrific local radio call of Evander's winner!

[Also here's to more local radio announcers across MLS getting a spotlight like this, love it!]

[Major League Soccer @MLS]

Evander’s game-winning stunner at the death called by @Fletch_Johnson on the local broadcast! 😮‍💨

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

Always an exciting part of the start of a new MLS season: new jerseys! Very cool approach taken by @TimbersFC (complete with actual wood shavings), excited to see these in action starting next week

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

Grey, breezy, wet....championship weather in Central Ohio! So thrilled to be here, excited to see what kind of a show we'll get. #MLSCup between Columbus and LAFC, 4pm ET/1pm PT on FOX

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

Twenty years ago I attended a World Cup semifinal in my hometown of Portland, US vs Germany, as a college freshman. What fun to be in the stands for another semifinal, this time with twice as many people, and my wife and son as well!

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

Beautiful Sydney Football Stadium on a grey, cold winter midday, can the Netherlands begin another run towards the final, or will South Africa continue their Cinderella story? Find out next on FOX

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

I've only been here a week but I'm blown away by Australia. What an incredible country, and we've only just scratched the surface. Sydney, Melbourne, and a wonderful short time in Brisbane. Thrilled to be here!

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

Whether you're staying up late or getting up early, we're thrilled to have you with us from Brisbane, which has a very Portland/Eugene, OR vibe to it (yes I'm biased). European champions #ENG kick off their World Cup against the Cinderella story here down under, #HAI now on FOX

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

Beautiful sunshine with a nice winter crisp in the air here in Melbourne. Thrilled to be beginning my fourth World Cup, and a pleasure to be with @Kyndrasports for the month! #NGA vs #CAN coverage starts now on FOX

[John Strong @JohnStrong]

Matchday minus-one in Melbourne. The 🐐 speaks. Watch her play tomorrow at 10:30p ET/7:30p PT/12:30p here in Australia, live on FOX #NGA vs #CAN
