I’m wondering if anybody saw this. Vote has been passed to repurpose an old mall site for a new stadium to bring MLS to Mesa, AZ (suburb of Phoenix). Note that Phoenix Rising who is in the USL is not apart of these plans. #MLS #USL

LEVEL UP : Noahkai Banks 💫

The young German American has six consecutive starts with #Augsburg & solidified himself as one of the top center back prospects.

Banks excels with the & in 1v1 duals. With the #USMNT in search of center backs, Banks could make a case for the 2026 WC squad.

Cristiano Ronaldo got a 3-match ban for that elbow. Fair or harsh? Now FIFA says he’ll be on probation so he won’t miss World Cup games. Has anyone else ever gotten this treatment? Watch the clip and weigh in. #WorldCup #Ronaldo #FIFA

FC Cincinnati got smashed 4–0 by Inter Miami, powered by a Messi masterclass: 3 assists and a goal. He even started one by picking Evander’s pocket. Yes, Messi is playing defense. Click here to see the Clip 👇

San Diego FC are one win from the MLS Cup Final. Their 1–0 win over Minnesota came from Corey Baird’s back-flick assist to set up Anders Dreyer’s rocket past Dayne St. Clair. Who you got in the West Final vs Vancouver? #Soccer #MLS #Playoffs

LAFC. Vancouver.
Possession vs transition.
Late-game drama vs halftime control.
This is the most fascinating tactical matchup of the MLS playoffs—here’s why:

Keyrol Figueroa feels like the next big dual-national priority. If he keeps developing at Liverpool, the USMNT can’t afford to let him slip. He is eligible for the U.S., Honduras, and England. What’s everyone’s read on his ceiling?

Great feel good story is Haiti making it to the 2026 World Cup. This is only their second appearance ever and their first since 1974. That is over 50 years ago. Do you think Haiti can do any damage in the World Cup?
