An expert panel without a single Black voice on it? I knew y'all thought we weren't smart. I didn't think you'd be so blatant. I didn't even see CAF representation despite having CAF players listed. Before you get mad at me for pointing it out, look within.
The ESPN FC top 50 is here and we need to talk about the sudden conflict of interest the league has created with the high-impact player rule.
With coaches and GMs weighing in on these lists, they can influence whether or not their players can get a bag.

So, if you’re an NWSL GM, you are not allowed to decide yourself — using all of the tools of a pro team’s front office — that a Player has a High-enough Impact to warrant a certain salary. But you *are* allowed to vote on a list that would determine that that Player has a High-enough Impact.
Sure.

We're a nation of grifters now.
Hotels across the United States, Canada and Mexico have hiked prices for rooms by hundreds of dollars per night during the FIFA World Cup in 2026, with an analysis by The Athletic revealing an average increase of more than 300 per cent around opening matches in the 16 host cities.

Extratime was *by miles* the best non-written content MLS has ever had. And instead of giving it a bigger platform and building it out for Apple TV, they killed it and replaced it with blah.

US soccer journalists have a moral obligation to cover more than just soccer at this World Cup. Unfortunately their corporate overloads will largely not let them.

nwsl owners do not want to have the best league in the world, they want widespread mediocrity that they can position as 'parity' and 'the most competitive league.' it's literally the nfl model attempted in a sport with a global market that can and will leave the nwsl behind.

How you can not love soccer after this week? Watch Troy Parrott's goals. Watch Scotland's goals. Watch Haiti players learn that they qualified for the World Cup. Watch Curaçao players celebrating a 0-0 that made them the smallest country ever to get there. I feel bad for anyone that missed it.

We all know Sen Dems should have asked for more than just ACA subsidies to agree on a budget, but we got behind the strategy because at least it was a fight. And then we used that strength on Tuesday to blow them away. And now...they just took all that energy and tossed it in the garbage. Bastards.

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

‼️‼️‼️ Got word of a new way the billionaire in charge of SSA is fucking over the American people!!!! TLDR: This will definitely lead to people applying for benefits losing out on money, and probably some hefty lawsuits for attorneys that know what’s up. The long version is gonna be long so let’s go.

I wrote hundreds of match recaps & edited hundreds more for this site back in the day. It’s not just MLS - I’m increasingly convinced soccer will “fail” because at this moment when U.S.-based fans love it more than ever, there is a rapidly shrinking media ecosystem covering the sport. We are screwed
