OPEN THE GATES
The gatekeepers (US Soccer and SUM) have lost the battle to prevent foreign leagues from playing games in the USA. Who's going to have the honor of being the first official game played here?

This sounds about right for the Club World Cup. No offense to TNT, but the #FIFACWC is a second-rate tournament, so putting some of the games on TNT is where the competition is at right now.
FIFA and DAZN need a broadcaster to promote the competition, and TNT does the trick.

Christopher Harris exiting World Soccer Talk after two decades ow.ly/XUNg1061eZP
I’m no longer in charge of running World Soccer Talk, but this isn’t a goodbye.
After selling World Soccer Talk in 2022 and transitioning the site to the new owners, I’ve accepted a position at a different company.
WST will continue without me. Thank you everyone. Cheers!
What's more surprising? Apple running an ad on Google's Android store to promote #MLSSeasonPass, or the fact that the ad features Messi (even though he won't be playing)?
The message this sends to the public is that your "product" isn't good enough to stand on its own. This is what happens when MLS promotes one player.
What's the point of interviewing Messi if he has nothing interesting to say and the questions asked feel very scripted?
Here's my review of the much-hyped @zanelowe interview with #Messi available on Apple Music:

The tables have turned for both Liverpool and Manchester United. My thoughts on the battle for the right to be seen as the most successful club in English soccer history:

My latest article for @worldsoccertalk. This one focuses on why MLS should play games overseas. If NFL is doing it and LaLiga is close to finalizing it, why not MLS?

How does President Trump aligning himself with Putin impact Russia's hopes of returning to World Cup tournaments in the future? Here's my latest article for @worldsoccertalk

If you like goals, there were plenty of them across MLS this weekend.
The bad news is that most of them came from defensive blunders. You could make an entire blooper reel from this weekend's #MLSisBack mistakes.
Sunday Night Soccer? More like Sunday Night Snooze.
Poor first half by LA Galaxy and San Diego on Apple TV's #MLSSeasonPass.
Let's hope the second half is improved.

A sportsbook in Vegas says that MLS ranks 9th among soccer leagues based on the number of bets waged, according to @AdamCrafton_ of The Athletic.
That's a major indicator that people domestically aren't watching or paying attention to the league.

Nasser al-Khelaïfi bullying other French soccer club presidents is not a good look especially due to his conflict of interest as the head of beIN SPORTS

Bizarrely, maybe Alexi Lalas was right after all. Here are my thoughts on USL's plans to launch a new Division 1 soccer league in the United States to rival MLS:

Powerful words about what the future of MLS clubs in Canada may mean. Is this the beginning of the end?
Oh say can you see (what a mess this may be) — on the existential threat that the Canadian MLS teams face and whether they might need to start to think of an exit plan from MLS.
