World Cup I: Uruguay – the third kick of the “Charruas”
The first FIFA Men’s World Cup was the brainchild of then president of the global soccer organization, Jules Rimet. England may have invented the “Beautiful Game” but the honor of hosting the first ever FIFA World Cup went to Uruguay (the Uruguayan soccer team is known as the "Charrúas"). For those that are familiar with the history of soccer overall, this may seem like an odd choice.

Messi’s Miami stands in the way of FC Cincinnati’s Cup run
FC Cincinnati joined Major League Soccer as an expansion club in 2019; a season later, Inter Miami would too. Both of these clubs were founded with championship ambitions, and are settling for nothing less. Within just four seasons,  both of them had claimed a Supporters’ Shield—a season apart. But their sole desire, an MLS Cup, still eludes them. Cincinnati was built to be a championship-level club with its foundations in the community.

This chart from @benwright.bsky.social shows how much overlap there is between the current MLS schedule and the one that will be used for 2027-2028... bsky.app/profile/benw...
Here's a quick look at how the current MLS spring-to-fall calendar and the new summer-to-spring calendars will line up.
