These Tariffs hit the beer league soccer community hard. How are we supposed to get our affordable knock off kits now?

Seeing my two clubs (Pumas and DCFC) play in Keyworth was such an incredible experience. Straight up pride all around
Detroit City FC has been honored to host a wide array of clubs in international friendlies at historic Keyworth Stadium since our first against FC United of Manchester in 2016.
Stay tuned on Thursday when we announce our next International Friendly opponent. ⚜️

Does MLS merge with USLC as the D2 league or would they create MLS2 (with pro/rel) to lessen the sting of a rival having pro/rel?

Who would have predicted that beating up on the worst Mexican side in decades and thinking it was a sign of dominance would lead to a false sense of entitlement 🫤
From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Canada beat the USMNT 2-1 on Sunday night to compound their issues heading towards a World Cup on home soil. The U.S. team has a growing perception of complacency and entitlement, our columnist writes.
USMNT frustrations boiling over as World Cup clock keeps on ticking
Expectations of this U.S. group are growing, especially with a World Cup on home soil. So why does it feel like progress has been stunted?

The USMNT and USSF continue to be soulless and now they’re finally paying the price. People won’t rally for National teams unless they care for their communities first. Until the USSF figures that out, we’re doomed to squander this sport.

..Days after talking about becoming #1 in the world, we mustered 2 shots on goal, and played before a near empty SoFi stadium. Where are you on the panic scale between 1 (Giving Up Hope) to 10 (If we emerge from the group stage intact at WC26, all of this will be forgotten)?

Eggs are not in fact cheaper and also our retirement accounts are down to below where they were 52 days ago 😐

Very unhappy about the trade war with Mexico. Every Nevadan should be.
Mexico is our third largest trade partner with most of the imports being food and produce. Does not feel controversial to say that we’re going to feel this in our wallets.

It’ll be interesting to see if he’s really as bad as we think he is, or if the environment at ManU is the issue.
🚨⚪️🟢 Antony to Real Betis, here we go! Verbal agreement in place between all parties with Man United too.
Documents being checked; then time for travel and medical tests.
United will let him leave on loan deal with 𝐧𝐨 buy clause. He’ll be formally back to United in June.

Ruben Amorim thinks so, but other managers have faced similar struggles. Here is a trip down memory lane to some of the worst crises at Old Trafford …

The move from TikTok to RedNote this week was actually totally organic. According to the earliest videos, it was jumpstarted by black TikTok creators who liked RedNote's beauty community. And it exposes exactly why Chinese apps are beating American platforms.
