More Americans are watching soccer, at stadiums and on television, than ever before. MLS and NWSL are stronger leagues than ever. The academy pipeline is now producing talented teenagers like never before and that will filter into the USMNT in the coming years. USL and MLSNP both have ambitious plans to build new clubs in smaller markets, engaging even more fans directly and in new ways. Investment in the game is at record levels.

American soccer isn't perfect and isn't there yet - but its actually growing nicely. The World Cup is a 39 day festival which stands on its own. There will be a lot of bad 'hot takes' about American soccer in these coming weeks but the game is growing and will continue to grow regardless of what happens between now and July 19 and regardless of what Europeans or others say.

It's the story of 5 decades of @SoundersFC, told by Sounders themselves. Eras of Legends, presented by Caffe D'arte and hosted by Brian Schmetzer on Nov. 18. From Chursky to Frei, McAlister to Morris, a Who's Who of heroes, past and present. For tix, see https://t.co/TrMXKtByym

A Game 7 recap masterpiece by Verducci:

[Sports Illustrated @SInow]

The Dodgers won their third World Series in six years with some of the sport's biggest stars and unlikely heroes—and, perhaps, some divine intervention

He was well versed in the classics, as well as ballet, and perhaps the most graceful, acrobatic keeper ever to wear a Sounders shirt. Don't wait too long for tickets, because Chursky's Chicks may just snap 'em all up.

@alexmayer34 @Mariners Your Nu-Mayer-ology is always entertaining.

@dannyoneil Good call, Danny. Here's one: Which alum crashed the wedding reception of Nolan Ryan's daughter and then was kicked out by the very unhappy Hall of Famer.

@WeAreTheOverlap @draper_rob @jonawils He had a howler against Burnley, but this is my favorite Djimi Traore memory:

For decades, baseball has relied on mud from one secret location to help players better grip balls.

No one had explained the science behind it — until now. https://t.co/FtWyOKGvJa

@thejagepage Has there ever been a MLB team to lead a division (or league pre '69) by 10+ games and finish the season 10+ games back of the division/league champ? Implausibly, the Mariners are headed there. @theaceofspaeder

[Robert Wickwire @rwickwire]

@Softykjr We can only hope the end may be near for Dipsticko and No Runs, No Hits, No Servais!

[Chinny Nguyễn 🎙️ @1926Chinny]

This is PROPER! 📈 @staybalanced_

[Robert Wickwire @rwickwire]

@kendallbaker Have to include hapless Mariners too, at 46 and counting.
