Great to see the players uniting for progression in soccer…

…only for CBS to run an ICE advertisement.
What a message from both sets of players to start the USL Championship Final, wearing t-shirts that say:

"USL HQ: PRO REL? TRY PRO STANDARDS FIRST" Major statement made from the USL Players Association.

Messi’s Miami stands in the way of FC Cincinnati’s Cup run
FC Cincinnati joined Major League Soccer as an expansion club in 2019; a season later, Inter Miami would too. Both of these clubs were founded with championship ambitions, and are settling for nothing less. Within just four seasons,  both of them had claimed a Supporters’ Shield—a season apart. But their sole desire, an MLS Cup, still eludes them. Cincinnati was built to be a championship-level club with its foundations in the community.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Any President who calls for the opposition party to be hanged should be immediately impeached and removed from office.

Our President not only suggests a murderous revolt but also amplifies a German red iron cross?

Right. Absolutely normal. /s

I do need time to process the MLS calendar shift, but I do hope USL follows suit.

Also: does this fuck up the USOC?

The Zenith: FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew set to battle in Game 3
The Hell is Real derby between FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew has long been characterized by it's tendency to consist almost entirely of blood pressure raising thrillers. With Saturday's series-clinching match set to decide which side moves on to the Eastern Conference semi-final, this one looks to be no different. It is slated to be the biggest match played at TQL Stadium since 2023's Eastern Conference Final, which was also against the Crew.
