Had a chance to quickly view the new Chicago Fire training facility today as I was dropping off banners for the Columbus match. Amazing facility right in Chicago, just north of Pilsen. Only complaint is that the media rooms lights add 20 years and two jowls. #mls #chicagofire

It is by far the least important concern at the moment, but the 2028 Olympics will become a real marker of how LA responds after this crisis is over. Will it showcase a rebuilt city, a city still struggling, or will it take place in another city altogether? The of course there is also the WC in 26.

We take it as a good omen that Chicago’s crest stands out so clearly in this graphic. #mls #cf97 #mlscup #footballcrests

Perhaps no logo screams 90’s graphic design more than the New York/New Jersey Metrostars. One of the MLS’ original clubs they debuted in 1996 and joined the sport drink family in 2006, becoming RBNY. NY has never won the cup, only appearing in cup game once in 2008.

Orlando City are named the lions in honor of the first pro team in Orlando, the Orlando Lions. They played from 1985-86. The throwback logo they have used this year is from their time in USL when they were also the Lions. The semifinal tonight is the furthest they have advanced in the playoffs.

According to the American Society For Soccer History, St. George’s Foot Ball Club played perhaps the first football match in the NYC on Thanksgiving day in 1842. Just something to think about while watching giant balloon superheroes float through the city today.

We love Alyssa Naeher puns almost as much as the player. So in honor of her National team retirement here are some honorific puns:
The USWNT will Naeher be the same.
We will Naeher forget you.
There will Naeher be another Naeher. #uswnt #naeher #chicagoredstars

I have only watched a handful of LA Galaxy matches this year but 3 things stand out:
1. This team plays fluid, aggressive football.
2. I have greatly underestimated Greg Vanney.
3. Puig’s relentless energy, touch and vision power the whole thing.

Having grown up with a Dutch father and his family the Dutch accent is always been comforting to me. Arne Slot is an example of that calming stalled Dutch way of speaking English.

Any Grand Rapids footy fans on here? Thoughts? 8500 seat Amway Stadium to house highest level of League Soccer in MI, but no team announcement yet. Guessing some level of USL.

LAFC retro kit inspired by NASL LA Aztecs. Sir Elton John with George Best of the LA Aztecs and Will Ferrell with Gareth Bale, formerly of LAFC. In 1980 the LA Aztecs upset the Seattle Sounders in the NASL playoffs, this weekend in MLS LAFC are the favorites. #mlsplayoffs
