My South American take on all things U.S. soccer. The account your favorite soccer writer follows.
LEGENDARY! The day a Bolivian Striker was the highest goalscorer in the world. Joaquin Botero - #crack
Recuerdos
Rooting for the underdog, Alianza Lima (of Peru) to beat the giants Gremio (of Brazil) tonight. It’s 2-1 and about 16mins left. Can they hold on to take this win to the final 8 of the #CopaSudamericana? I’m hoping so!!
Bro…..For real?? “When nobody wanted you”
Dear Messi, I am writing to you to express my outrage for your absence at the historic MLS All-Star event. We took you into our league when nobody wanted you, & expected you to respect our heritage and footballing culture. This was a slap in the face & it will not be tolerated.
Our starting GK for our, Billy Viscarra was on FIRE last night for Alianza Lima (Peru). Thanks to him, they kept Gremio (Brazil) down to one goal in two games. The young man was on fire last night. 🔥🔥🔥🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴🇧🇴 VIVA BOLIVIA CARAJO!!!

Such a beast for Flu in Brazil and South American competitions. He’s going to be amazing in the Premier League. Just watch….
🟠⚫️🇨🇴 Official, confirmed. Jhon Arias joins Wolves on £18m deal from Fluminense… …and he’s gonna be new #WWFC number 10. 👕🔟
Damn. Part of my childhood just died. RIP Hulkster.
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has died at 71 years old 💔🕊️
Even overweight, R9 was unstoppable. My GOAT at striker. The best the world will ever see at that position.
Ronaldo Fenômeno no Corinthians 😍
My boys at @Bolivar_Oficial were playing like Barcelona in their prime tonight. What a goal this was to cap off the 3-0 win!! Watch the build up. Apparently it was 40 touches (video didn’t capture them all) that led to the golazo. So far, this #CopaSudamericana has been awesome!

Alianza Lima (Peru) did it! All through the genius of the 41yo Hernan Barcos. Yes, I said that right. The 41yo won it for Alianza Lima with this golazo to knock out one of the Giants of South America, Gremio (BRA) w/a global score of 3-1. So happy for Peru! 🇵🇪#copasudamericana
My @Bolivar_Oficial looked like they were coached by Pep tonight!! This is why, Bolivar is Bolivia baby. Always showing the best futbol on display when playing outside of Bolivia. That’s it!! 🩵🩵🩵
One of the GIANTS of the South American continent—my beloved @Bolivar_Oficial. Heart is so full of pride right now… 🩵🩵🩵🩵
💙🇧🇴 Un grande del continente que avanza a Octavos de Final: @Bolivar_Oficial, que supo ser finalista de la CONMEBOL #Sudamericana, entre los mejores 16.
I still can’t get over the BEAUTIFUL golazo by Martín Cauteruccio tonight. The cherry on top to seal the 3-0 win. The 38yo is aging like a fine wine. Palestino were a dumpster fire the whole match. On to the next one baby!! Bolivar are everything for me tonight. 🩵🩵🩵🔥🔥🔥
AS I PREDICTED!! Club Bolivar is on to the final 8. Up next a home and away match against Cienciano of Peru. Sooo hyped right now!! What a way to keep my week going on this Wednesday!! Bolivar is my soul and my heart. 🩵🩵🩵🩵
🎉 ¡CLASIFICADOS! 🔥 En tierra chilena, demostramos corazón, esfuerzo y grandeza. 💪🏻🤩 ¡Estamos en OCTAVOS DE FINAL de la CONMEBOL Sudamericana! ¡Esto es por nuestra gente y por nuestra historia! 🙌🏻🩵 #BolívarCentenario #UnSigloDePasión
Reputation threatening? Get the FUCK outta here!! Hahahahaha
Lionel Messi bailing on tonight's #MLSAllStar Game is more than just a soft, annoying decision. It's a shortsighted, reputation-threatening, full-on diva move that shoves a middle finger into the face of MLS and its fans. And for what? Full thoughts: austinchronicle.com/daily/sports/2…
Wow. This would be fucking huge. Son is still damn good.
🇰🇷 Sources confirm @PaulTenorio’s scoop: LAFC in talks to sign Son Heung-Min from Tottenham. Early talks. Club pushing for this summer. Son, just turned 33, is a Spurs legend. Would be a huge addition.
NOTHING beats watching some weekday footie to end the day. Especially the team of my dreams, @Bolivar_Oficial. Today we make it to the final 8 of the #CopaSudamericana baby!! South American football is my passion…
What….a…..fool. Why do Americans crave playing in the Premier league so hard???? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Josh Sargent’s #Wolfsburg transfer collapse was due to his deciding he didn’t want a Bundesliga return. It was not a disagreement over price per Sky Sports Rob Dorsett. The £21m fee was: “broadly agreed between the two clubs.” #USMNT #Norwich
Clint still got that MAGIC, baby! 🪄🪄🪄
.@ishowspeedsui 🤝 @clint_dempsey
I have to wonder, if James and Ramos both went to their agents first asking if Messi was going to show up and based their response on that lol
Not only Messi but guys like Sergio Ramos and James Rodríguez don’t want anything to do with this mess either. Ramos is finally gonna show up after they agreed to pay him a lot of money.
