I can’t wait for next year’s soccer stories. But for me, bad kits mean a much less enjoyable experience. For that reason, I have a few wishes for all the kit manufacturers out there:

World Cup. NWSL. MLS. 2026 is a big year for soccer fans, and the kits could make or break it…

one thing that’s become very obvious about jessica berman’s nwsl is that owners would still much rather pay lawyers than players

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

FIFA has raised ticket prices yet again for most 2026 World Cup games.

Some standard group-stage tickets are now listed at $700 and a lower-level ticket to the World Cup final now priced at $8,680 — nearly $2,000 more than its original price in October.

Interesting to see. Group D looked easy at first glance but…
December 5, 2025 at 7:30 PM
I think Group E (🇩🇪🇨🇼🇨🇮🇪🇨) or Group I (🇫🇷🇸🇳🇳🇴(🇮🇶🇧🇴🇸🇷)) are the potential Groups of Death here but there are some other ones with serious dark horses

If you include the World Cup break in the 2026 MLS schedule, 84% of the full capacity match-weeks line up with the new summer-to-spring calendar they'll start using in 2027.

It's essentially the same schedule already.

Man it really stinks that our government is using the World Cup as an opportunity to advance their fascist agenda because the soccer is going to kick ass

Pepo De la Vega’s goal is nominated for the Puskás, and Jordyn Bugg’s is nominated for the Marta. That has to be the first time men’s and women’s teams in the same city have received simultaneous noms, right? Seems like a pretty cool moment for Seattle and the Sounders/Reign org
