Liga de Expansión MX clubs continue to protest against the elimination of promotion/relegation in Mexican football.

The Leones Negros and Coyotes players also refused to play the opening minute of their match.

The message is clear: Bring PRO/REL back.✊🏼

Mehmeti's composure and ability to receive, progress the ball pays off on the #RBNY equalizer.. real good work from Donkor in build up but it gets to him bc Mehmeti so effortlessly receives the ball in enough space (he knows where he is) w his back (right) foot then plays it fwd w his left (he always does a good job activating his left foot too, ready to open up his body).. even the way he weights the pass draws a defender out to Donkor, which leads to more space for Forsberg later #USMNT

France sent 99 players to the World Cup, 54 from Île-de-France. Here's my story on the banlieues of Paris, where I worked 50 years ago, and a look at what makes it such a producer of soccer talent. (One word: Navigo.) https://t.co/XNGY50ZNPf

Soccer is NOT a niche sport in the 🇺🇸

I’ve heard people say “well we don’t have an open system in basketball and we’re still best in the world.”

Guys, in a little over 30 years foreign players went from almost no nba players and getting ran off court with our best to:

-8 straight foreign MVPs
-since 2021 first team all nba has been 21/30 foreign spots
-college bball recruiting has shifted to be a race for the best 20 year old euro players

If you don’t think their approach to development on all fronts including club structure and professional league structure impacts this you’re crazy.

42 million people watched the US-Belgium game on Fox — 30 million — and Telemundo — 12 million. Staggering number — that’s more people than have ever watched a college football, NBA, MLB or NHL game in history. Only the NFL playoffs can beat it this century.

One big US soccer thought: our youth development has to get more affordable. One of my kids plays travel. It’s at least $5k a year & this isn’t even super high end. We can afford it, thankfully, lots can’t. Youth sports costs in the US are out of control, soccer more than most.

Mauricio Pochettino: "From the beginning we didn't connect with the game. Even when we scored 1-1, we conceded on the next action. I congratulate Belgium, they were better than us. It wasn't our day. We didn't show what normally we can show. That is the reality." #USMNT

A critical element that the "rulebook purists" arguing Balogun deserved a red card are conveniently overlooking:

BALOGUN was the one who was challenged from behind.

The Bosnian player played *through* Balogun from behind and placed himself in the path of Balogun's natural step.

When he begins taking that step, Balogun has no idea the Bosnian player would even be in front of him. In that sense, you can't really even consider his move a "challenge." It was simply a step that incidentally landed in the same place the opponent's foot did.

In fact, the reason Balogun's step came down so hard is *because* the Bosnian player challenged into him and knocked him off balance.

This is not "reckless" or "excessive force" by any stretch of the imagination.

The red card was *obviously* unjustified from the outset. The only thing FIFA got wrong here is not immediately suspending the red card after the match.

In all seriousness real quick before I get extremely goofy, I was so sick that America would be robbed of the opportunity to see Flo against a team that will actually play & leave big spaces for him to run into. We’re about to see a entirely different demon tomorrow
