Many fans think soccer in the U.S. began with the 1994 World Cup in the US or the kick off of MLS in 1996. There is a century of history of great players and stories to be told

MLS lacks one thing that other countries have: a celebrated history. You build that by honoring your past. From clubs to league, that essential building block to fandom is relatively ignored. IMHO could be a symptom for the general apathy in the vote.
Heard from one source that the
#NERevs
are struggling to find many viable candidates for the head coaching job in wake of the Friedel firing. Guess the team's reputation precedes it

Well, I might not be in Columbus, but I believe I have the most comfortable seat ever at an

I am on a couch with plenty of pillows. I am not shivering my ass off and the line to the bathroom is pretty short. Hope everyone enjoys the game!

released statement about Kaku: We are aware of the announcement made by Altaawoun FC. The New York Red Bulls exercised a club option in Kaku’s Major League Soccer contract for the 2021 season, and he remains under contract with (MLS) and ... Red Bulls

I want to wish

head coach Bruce Arena a happy 70th birthday. No, that is not the Fifth Beatle in the picture. That's Arena when he played goal at

While covering the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Toronto in 1987, I was giving out copies of Soccer Week. I gave one to the great
#Pele
. Without any prompting, he suggested that I take a picture of him reading it. Rule No. 1 for sportswriters: Never say no to the
#GOAT
I am signing off for the night. I have been covering
#USAvMEX
games for 3 decades and this one ranks up there as one of the best confrontations I have witnesses (and I have attended every
#dosacero
game for the
#USMNT
game). It had everything you wanted in a match (1/2)
I am excited to announce that my long-awaited book:
ALIVE AND KICKING: The incredible but true story of the Rochester Lancers
Is in production and is coming soon!
I will keep you posted!

Unfortunately, I was not able to attend today's game due to other commitments. But the infield grass at Yankee Stadium looks like crap on TV. This shouldn't be happening in the 24th season of
#MLS
and the 5th year of
#NYCFC
. Super embarrassing for the league and club
#NYCvLAFC
I have seen many a goal in 26
#MLS
seasons. Thiago's stoppage time score was one of the greatest goals and individual efforts in league history. I don't know other highlights there might be, but that must make top 10 in

Just got this: Major League Soccer has fined New England Revolution head coach Bruce Arena an undisclosed amount for violating the league's public criticism policy following New England’s match against the Columbus Crew on April 15. I am shocked that Bruce was controversial
I just want to remind all
#USMNT
supporters that regardless of the final score, they should savor Friday's game v Mexico. It will be the last
#WCQ
at least until 2029 or so because both teams won't have to qualify for the 2026 WC. And by then, who knows how
#Concacaf
WCQ will be?
This just in:
#NYCFC
will start its full team training not at its Orangeburg, NY facility, but at the

training facility in Hanover, NJ. NY guidelines are still too strict, Jersey's arent't

Press pass share" Day 1: During the quarantine, I have decided to share some of the passes I have accrued. And they're just not about soccer. I have saved just about all of them. To kick things off, here are w from East Rutherford, N.J. more than four decades ago.

Wow,
#NYCFC
has outdone itself. The

team will play not at one, but two baseball parks this season. This has to be embarrassing for the league. Can't believe this is happening in the 21st century
Why are we still doing this? Should be no more
#NYCFC
home games on national TV (FS1, ESPN, Unimas) until they leave Yankee Stadium. This is unwatchable. Terrible for fans since 2015. Novelty has long since worn off. We know this. Switching to the Milan derby at 3:30p on ESPN+.
If the US survives this game, this will be one of the poorest wins by the team that I have seen and I have watched a few games in my team. I realize its important to get 3 pts., etc. etc. But today's performance is just awful
According to
@BVB
website,
#GioReyna
is the first 17-year-old to record three assists in a
#Bundesliga
match and the first Dortmund player to do so since Marco Reus registered three in a game in December 2016

If

qualifies for

and plays
#LAFC
in the final, it will mean the team will have started and finished its 2022 schedule of games in the USA at Banc of California Stadium

Four years in a row the Red Bulls have been eliminated in the opening round of the playoffs. It kind of makes 13 years of reaching the postseason a rather meaningless stat. Team needs to go deep. It's as simple as that

So,
#MLS
will expand to 30 teams and at the top of the criteria is a final stadium plan. They allowed
#NYCFC
into the league in 2015 without that "final stadium plan," unless you consider
#YankeeStadium
that final stadium. What a joke.
HT: 1-0 I've seen too many
#USAvMEX
clashes to count, but this is one of the poorest displays I've seen from

in the rivalry. They must be thinking they are playing in Ohio

Here is my

book collection in my home office. Quite appropriately, it is above the top shelf, above all other books. I counted 31 books, although I counted doubles on three volumes. Each book has a fantastic slice of Pele's life, at the minimum.

If
#RBNY
and
#NYCFC
continue their poor and underachieving runs, it will be the worst
#MLS
season in the NY metro area since the 2009, when the
#MetroStars
failed to reach the playoffs. Right now, I don't see either team reaching the postseason.
I have been at every event/game in which the
#USMNT
has reached the
#WorldCup
. That includes the 1988 announcement of USA '94 in Zurich, and WC-clinching games for the 1990, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014 WCs. I was not in Couva in 2017, but I will be in Orlando Sunday

Now, she tells us her story. She says she was repeatedly harassed & touched inappropriately, and that NYCFC did nothing about it.
