A striker’s goals are the unpaid wages of the midfield. I am once again asking you to subscribe to the Cincy PostCast.
I guess we know what doesn't get you fired in MLS. Still waiting to find out what does (i.e. Bruce Arena).
NEW: Ernst Tanner has built a powerhouse at the Philadelphia Union.

But my @us.theguardian.com investigation has shown wide-ranging allegations of misbehavior throughout his 7-year tenure.

Tanner denies the allegations, and was investigated by MLS this year.

People who confidently picked the Crew against us are suddenly deciding the Crew players are bad and they just had no way of knowing.
Crew spent about $6m on Picard and Gazdag and I've gotta say, Issa Tall hasn't covered himself in glory here.

My wife: We’re going to see Les Mis.

Me: (never heard of musicals) What’s that about, a mom and daughter who live together in squalor despite being from a rich family, and one act is when the daughter’s fiancé died in WWII, and there’s a song by the cats?

My wife: hysterical laughter

Christian Pulisic tells @golazoamerica.bsky.social on watching the USMNT:

"Of course it's been tough, I wish I could be there to help the team."

Pulisic said he offered to "be part of two friendlies" (assuming not Gold Cup) but coaching staff said no.

I can’t recommend the New Yorker profile of Patti LuPone enough. Bangers only! www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Patti LuPone Is Done with Broadway—and Almost Everything Else
The seventy-six-year-old theatre diva, famed and feared for her salty bravado, dishes on Hal Prince, her non-friendship with Audra McDonald, and sexy but dumb New York Rangers.

I asked grok to prepare a ranking of total team transfer spend in the last transfer window and if this is true it's got massive implications for the game tomorrow.

This is the equivalent of Deborah Vance finally getting to host Late Night.
BREAKING: FC Cincinnati are finalizing a deal to sign MLS legend Kei Kamara, per sources.

Kamara, 40, will join the club via a supplemental roster slot, I'm told.

The center forward is the second-leading scorer in MLS history. He's back.

New pope is a dual nat who qualifies as a domestic/homegrown but was seasoned in a South American system. Great pickup.

Question. FIFA passed a rule allowing federations to establish an “exceptional additional registration period” ahead of the Club World Cup from 6/1 to 6/10. The release said it would apply to “all affiliated clubs” within a federation. Have USSF or MLS announced anything on this yet?

Very curious about the numbers on these rebroadcasts. Triple digits? Double?
Los Angeles FC joins the ranks of MLS teams airing Apple broadcasts on local TV stations a few days after they take place.

So far I've seen Charlotte (the first), Dallas, and LAFC... Any others out there?

Gotta love whenever Laurel drops the context parenthetical.
Al Golden said he does not view Shemar Stewart as a "project" just because of his low sack production in college. Said when Notre Dame played A&M his guys on offense worried about Stewart (Stewart only had one tackle that game). It's clear he will bring physicality to #Bengals D.

Joke's on this guy Muller's going to Cincinnati in June.
There was never a chance Müller would go to Cincinnati. But happy for them that they tried anyhow.
🇩🇪🟠 Sources: FC Cincinnati made an offer to sign German legend Thomas Müller this summer, but the offer was declined. BILD & @laurelpfahler.bsky.social 1st.

Cincy still holds Müller's MLS rights, meaning they'll get GAM if he signs in the league. www.givemesport.com/thomas-mller...
