Grant Wahl was a friend, colleague, trusted journalist, an American soccer tour de force. He willed the sport upon those who didn’t know they needed it. His contacts were unheard of. His writing captivated. Profoundly sad, but honored to have had him in my/our lives.
Rep. Elijah Cummings on immigrant children being separated from their parents: “We are better than that. We are so much better. We should be able to agree that we will not keep kids in child internment camps indefinitely... What country is that?”

@UNM
&
@UNMLOBOS
, for years your men’s soccer team, has produced quality young men excelling in the world’s game. Please don’t take away one of their key ties to your institution by deleting their proud program.
If Real Madrid is really content to let Gareth Bale go on a free transfer, EVERY
@MLS
team should begin crafting their sales pitch (hint: proximity to elite golf courses would help).
The
#NERevs
have conceded 18 goals in their last 4 games & now sport back to back 5 goal losses. Something has to change. This franchise should be a rock in
#MLS
, instead it has lazily evolved into a constant embarrassment for the region, league, and fans.
