We know that Trump doesn't actually like soccer because he would've tweeted even once about Jose Mourinho being treated unfairly
When the World Cup draw takes place today, Donald Trump will take centre stage.
No American president has taken such an interest in soccer and his relationship with FIFA has never been closer.
Why does Trump like soccer so much? And what does the relationship mean for the sport?

US Soccer has a new mascot, and I'll be honest: I find this dog very untrustworthy

Years ago on Twitter, I posted a thread about the Dallas Tornado, a Lamar Hunt-owned NASL team who between the '67 and '68 seasons went on an absurd ~20-country exhibition tour. A follower, completely unbidden, sent me a poster of the team signed by one of its players.
What is the most "obscure" piece of sports memorabilia that you own? Why do you have it?

I don't usually get to watch Spurs when they play mid-week but my travels today mean I can catch the Champions League. Now to check their opponent, probably some lesser side from a farmer's league... #COYS

Five em dashes, two semicolons, and two clauses starting with "in short." Please enjoy this 268-word sentence from Pevear and Volokhonsky's translation of Nikolai Gogol's "The Overcoat."

Under discussed, imo, in the #GothamFC championship wake, is that they've managed this triumph while also successfully navigating (and winning!) CONCACAF. Continental duty added 6 games to their schedule this year and it's a testament to the squad depth that they succeeded on all fronts.

Gotham's results have often lagged behind their performances this year, but I never doubted that they had the talent to compete against anyone in this league. #NWSL
