Having worked in Philadelphia Union system, taken U.S. U-18s and seen his son go through U-17 cycle, Marlon LeBlanc makes a very interesting read. SA's Mike Woitalla with an interview with Brooklyn FC coach. www.socceramerica.com/marlon-lebla...
My look at the World Cup, now 99 days out. It will be big shame if Iran doesn’t play. Fan support at SoFi would be stunning, one of the great stories of the tournament. (It was in 2022 when the USA beat Iran 1-0 in Doha.) www.socceramerica.com/mourning-the...

Apologies to @pkedit.bsky.social for copying his post from another site that I would leave if I could. But what he wrote is true:
No newspaper in the United States has covered soccer more and better in its history than the Washington Post. It saw demand and interest decades ago, and answered.

With the proliferation of English-language streaming options to watch soccer -- Peacock, Paramount+, Golazo Network and Fox One along with ESPN+ -- it's easy to forget that most soccer is still consumed by U.S. audiences in Spanish. www.socceramerica.com/televisauniv...

#USMNT Player Ratings from #USAvPAR www.socceramerica.com/usa-paraguay...
Really good story by @jeffkassouf.bsky.social on flight of #USWNT players to Europe. Only thing limiting movement: small number of teams w/ money & ambition. I’d add #UWCL is big factor. Its prestige will skyrocket with CBS deal. Sorry, #CWCC (terrible crowds) is a joke.

Sam Coffey grew up watching Alex Morgan. "I had a poster of her on my wall. She’s like a hero for all of us and is someone that epitomizes what it means to leave something better than you found it.” #USWNT www.socceramerica.com/alex-morgan-...
Quite a few names from the past ...
⬆️⬇️Pro/rel is on the USL horizon. @danvaughn.bsky.social spoke with a person perfectly suited for insight into process: Sean Mann — CEO and co-founder of @detcityfc.com

I hope, time and energy permitting, to converse here all week on soccer stuff. Lots going on!!!
I am headed to Austin today for #USMNT camp. Haven't been to Austin since June 2022 (and Jesus Ferreira's 4-goal game, remember?). What I remember is the heat (100-something in my car at Q2). It's supposed to be mid-90s all week. (It's mid-60s all year where I live, Albany CA).
Sure seem to start early these days!
Back in the day, #BallondOr was presented by France Football at year-end to generate readers during holidays. I discovered this 1975 issue (soccer!) at NYC’s Hotelings, looking to improve my poor French ahead of an internship. In less than 3 years, I was writing in French for FF.
An NWSL Shield for the KC Current is no surprise, says SA's Jenna Pel. The Current is a finely balanced squad that has produced elite performances across every area of the field. www.socceramerica.com/on-track-to-...
FT: #USMNT 2-0 Japan. U.S. went to and, to its credit, took control of the game. A rarity. How much credit to players? Formation? Due to weaker opposition? Let the debate begin!
Concacaf WCQ tonight:
El Salvador 1-2 Suriname // Panama 1-1 Guatemala.
Standings: Suriname 4, El Salvador 3, Panama 2, Guatemala 1.
Keep in mind: The 3 group winners advance to World Cup finals. But ONLY top 2 group runners-up go the March 2026 playoffs.
On the Alyssa Thompson transfer fee ... we all love to write about new records this and that and wonder why fee isn't higher, but the reality is, who is Chelsea going to be bidding against? How many European clubs have a desire to spend?
NWSL players have pushed for a free market, and it means stars have more options ... including playing at well-financed European powers. A far cry from the days of #USWNT contracts, which kept most players at home. www.socceramerica.com/nwsl-chelsea...
As Angel City FC battles to reach the NWSL playoffs, their superstar Alyssa Thompson has long caught the eye of England's Chelsea FC, winner of six consecutive league titles.
SA's Jenna Pel asks if more young players will be tempted to ply their trade abroad.

#SoundersFC took roster-building to new levels with their 2022 Champions League winners, but blew that out of the water with the team that humiliated the Messi mob on Sunday. www.socceramerica.com/what-makes-t...
