Introducing: Football Cities

Starting with Mexico's World Cup host cities & hopefully continuing throughout the Americas & the world, I'm launching a video series offering soccer fans a practical guide to making the most of their travels in 2026 and beyond.

Around 20 years ago I sent an AIM message to @3rddegree.net letting him know I liked his site &, as a future comms student, would like to write for it. He said … maybe! I never did write for the site but saw first-hand the community Buzz built & the passion he has for FC Dallas.

Bon voyage, buddy!

On-site inspections ahead of the final vote on the 2031 Women’s World Cup begin today in the U.S., then move to Jamaica on Thursday & Friday and on to Costa Rica & Mexico.

FIFA delegates will evaluate the sites & prepare a report.

Bad Bunny shouts out Getting CONCACAFed and now Jon has enough money to buy back the Mavs. True impact.

While Mexico & #CanMNT opted for winter friendlies, the #USMNT is focused on March when it starts getting real.

So, is the U.S. ready for the 2026 World Cup? Is it posible to know?

I tagged Bad Bunny in a Puerto Rico newsletter I published in 2021 … spending the rest of the night finding the burner he subscribed with.

I haven’t wanted to be cringe in the lead-up, but man…

Seeing a guy go from unsigned artist with a funny name in 2016 to pulling THAT off? Incredible.

Half and half jersey with the left side totally skintight and the right side flowing with a big number painted on.
I don't think the Olympics and the Superbowl should happen at the same time.

What if a parent had a kid in each? You know they're going to the football game and not the cross country skiing. And that makes me sad for that skier I just made up.
