FIFA has raised ticket prices for dozens of 2026 World Cup games, in some cases by more than 20%.

Most upper-deck tickets to the World Cup final are now $5,055 or $3,450.

Increases for two of three USMNT games.

Lionel Messi just had the best season in MLS history. Does anyone really care?

I wrote about it for The Guardian:
Lionel Messi just had the best season in MLS history. Does anyone care?
The Argentine has been as excellent as ever in his later years, but his presence and performance has yet to push MLS into the US mainstream

Fox announces that it will put 69 of next year's men's World Cup games on the big network and 35 on FS1.

That is a record for free-to-air games both by quantity (obviously, with an expanded tournament) and percentage - 66%.

Fox will also put the draw on the broadcast network in December.

Argentina wastes a window while preparing to defend its World Cup title
Between subpar opposition, the haphazard relocation of a friendly and a lack of focused prep, the World Cup champs are being awfully casual

Data on shootings in NYC so far in 2025 is just out:

Lowest on record for first nine months of any year in NYC history. Ever. Since modern reporting began in 1960s.

Remind the world of this every time Trump says he is going to send the military into our streets to save us.

2026 WORLD CUP BALL!

FIFA officially unveils the Adidas Trionda ball for the FIFA World Cup 2026 — and it represents all three host countries.

It’s only four panels and compares to the Adidas Jabulani from South Africa 2010.

A first look at an event here in Toronto.
