The USA U19s drew Spain 1-1 thanks to a goal from Jonathan Shore. The starting lineup was Rick, Anderson, Harangi, Presthus, Miller, Ramos Jr, Shore, Burton, Figueroa, Joyner, Vazquez. Really not sure what formation that could’ve been. Alejandro Granados came on at half for Spain
This is the best video I’ve seen in a long time.
Look at what winning The FA Cup means to those fans in the stands at Wembley today.
They’ve waited their entire lives for this day!! This is what it’s all about!

The primary difference in player development across nations stems from their approach to nurturing talent. In countries with a deep-rooted football culture, young players master essential skills long before participating in structured matches. This early proficiency paves the way for advanced training, allowing them to quickly elevate their abilities to a higher level.
In contrast, other nations place children on teams with the hope that elite coaching will instill the basic skills their peers from football-rich cultures perfected years earlier. This core distinction profoundly influences the growth path of players worldwide.
At its heart, the difference boils down to the Entry Level phase, which outweighs factors like the number of coaches, training programs, or curriculum design. It relies on cultivating a culture where values, beliefs, and an unwavering passion for the sport are woven into the fabric of families and communities. In such environments, a child’s connection to the ball develops before their love for the game itself, fostering a lifelong commitment to both playing and watching—a legacy handed down through generations.
The real power of this transformation doesn’t lie in expensive coaching or cutting-edge facilities, but in the subtle, yet immense, impact of culture. This unseen force molds mindsets and behaviors, going beyond physical talent alone. The immeasurable worth of this cultural bedrock defines the triumph of football development in ways that material resources cannot replicate. Witness it firsthand, and its profound influence becomes undeniable.
Luca Koleosho 🇺🇸🇮🇹 takes the ball from the opponent on the defensive end, carries it on his own to the final 3rd and scores against Leeds.
Great goal but the performance has been pretty mid.
The facts about Gregg Berhalter. This is all you need to know..
1. He never won a single trophy at the club level
2. He was fired from his only job in Europe (Swedish 2nd division) for having a bad attack
3. Five years in MLS, finishing 7th, 4th, 18th, 5th, and 10th in the standings. The Crew won MLS Cup 2 seasons after he left
4. Worse PPG in MLS than several other American managers at the time of his hiring- Vermes, Porter, Fraser, Marsch, Curtin.. all with better managerial records than Gregg
5. Has won 1 of 11 (9%) games against top 20 teams not named Mexico as USMNT manager
6. Despite having the most talented team in the region, finished 3rd in WCQ
7. He has the most talented team in American soccer history, but has not once eclipsed any unprecedented heights as USMNT manager.
I have absolutely 0 idea what he’s done to deserve 8 full years as the USMNT coach in such a pivotal time other than being buddy-buddy with some of the players.
Hailing from (you guessed it) Manhattan, the Manhattan Kickers are bringing a team of MKFC coaches and alumni to TST!
Does this squad have what it takes to win the $1,000,000??? Find out June 5-10🗽⚽️

Former MKFC teammates Luca Koleosho (‘04) and Markus Anderson (’03) are having breakout seasons at the pro level. Luca plays for Burnley FC in the EPL and Markus is climbing the ranks with Rayo Majadahonda in the Spain's 3rd division.

®️ El Real Madrid está siguiendo a Markus Anderson y a Addai para reforzar al Castilla. Dos extremos potentísimos. Markus del Rayo Majadahonda, y Addai del Alcorcón.
De momento, en el club no hay previsión de hacer fichajes en invierno. Pero los dos están en la lista
