New episode of the 901 Soccer Podcast for @BluffCity_Media is up and I was very lucky to have been joined by USMNT legend @RamosTab to talk the end of 901 FC, USMNT, and 2026 World Cup. Check it out. youtube.com/watch?v=-B2KGz…
This is an incredible crashout. Messi has won 1 World Cup, 1 Olympic gold medal, 2 Copa Americas, 4 Champions Leagues, 10 La Ligas, 8 Copa del Reys, 3 Super Cups, 2 Ligue 1s, 1 Leagues Cup, and 1 Supporters Shield. But skipping the All-Star Game is reputation threatening?
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…
Cry more loser
Penn State head coach James Franklin once again criticized Notre Dame’s independent status at Big Ten media days. “Everybody thought I was slighting Notre Dame [before the Orange Bowl]. I’ve been saying that for 10 years!” (via @michaelniziolek)
Messi is bad for @MLS. I said what I said.

Penn State’s James Franklin not a fan of Big Ten Media Days in Las Vegas.

Literally all they had to do was talk about the sports currently happening and they can't even do that. NFL and NBA offseasons and it's all they talk about.
ICYMI: I was on @Sports56WHBQ this morning with @Greg_Gaston and @Eli560 talking all things @MemphisWSoccer and @MemphisMSoccer. Check it out. Starts at the 25 minute mark sports56whbq.com/media/com_podc…
The game that allowed everybody to pretend these two are rivals. Ohio State has won eight straight and 12 of the last 13. In fact, since 2000 Ohio State is 20-5 against Penn State
9: Penn St blocked field goal. James Franklin’s seat was warming up. This play alone changed the trajectory of Penn St football
Because MLS is desperate for that sweet, sweet Mexican fan money. Not a coincidence that within three years of each other they created the Leagues Cup, the Campeones Cup, and pivoted the All-Star game from playing against European clubs to playing against Liga MX all-stars

Has Purdue gone at B1G Media Days yet? Need someone to ask Ryan Walters about this dude being on his team
I still can’t believe this story isn’t getting more play. Great work by @s_shoemaker52
I'm an outside observer who has always considered Louisville City the gold standard for lower division American soccer (support, facilities, on-field performance) but this is not a letter you put out if the crowds you are announcing match the number of people coming in the door

I guess this will help soften the blow for next year when every MLS goes down to Mexico in the CONCACAF Champions Cup and gets lobotomized
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Here's what the playoffs needs to be: Single table, 1-16 Each series is two legs Highest remaining team plays lowest remain team after each round Highest remaining seed hosts a one-off MLS Cup Final
MLS commissioner Don Garber on potential calendar change to align with European calendar: “We believe that alignment is something that makes sense” but no announcement today. Garber adds roster rules under discussion, as is different playoff format and more.
There's so many empty green seats at this All-Star Game that I thought the USMNT was playing
