Praise his taste all you want I’m ready to bully Cavan Sullivan for thinking The Lumineers are good, gotta save the next generation from the horrors of stomp-clap

Hard to end up placing behind Sporting KC in any table this season, yet such is life when you’re a team, like NYCFC, that can’t pick up points when playing on short rest. Went through the whole league’s schedule to put this one together www.nysoccerjournal.com/nycfc-record...

Following West Ham in the Championship is going great, why do you ask?

I got NYCFC president & CEO Brad Sims to dish on the following: -NYCFC II opting into Hometown Soccer Holdings, rebranding, relocating -Gotham to Etihad Park, where they’ll own the visitor’s locker room, & with NYCFC having vested interest in their success -Agenda items for Larry Berg, MLS 3.0

Brad Sims: Our project is as compelling or more compelling than any in American soccer

People should make fun of the concept of watching the Bundesliga on Fandango as much or more than they make fun of any American soccer league's streaming setup

Q: Mauricio keeps talking about why not us, like dream big... is it possible that they could win the whole thing? Bruce: [long pause] "Yeah, it's possible. It's like, I'm trying to think of the Jim Carrey movie, when he said one in a million, but there's a chance, you know? There’s a chance, yeah."

“Hudson River Blue” under a “new owner” is back and is now churning out AI slop featuring 3-legged athletes, fake France players and kits, all variety of other nonsense. Sad end for what was once a quality outlet. The good news: @nysoccerjournal.com is running at full steam and is 100% human-made

Inside you there are 2 wolves

MLS Canada Men’s National Team Head Coach Jesse Marsch with the distinction of being the only one of the 3 co-hosts to not win his group, but hey at least all his players sing the national anthem

Julen Lopetegui and Graham Potter really delivered for my West Ham hate-watching purposes this week

That podcast clip of Micah Richards and Gary Lineker giggling over the concept of the USMNT winning the World Cup is going to be electric as the intro to the documentary about the US winning the World Cup

"Two of the five signings in Traore and Pablo are represented by Nuno’s agent, Jorge Mendes." Epitome of West Ham's approach to recruitment: "Which agent has the most influence with our owner and/or manager?" Then when they did try a Director of Football (Tim Steidten) he was an unmitigated disaster

Inside West Ham’s miserable relegation: Nuno’s cold approach, a leadership void, and now a player exodus?

West Ham have been relegated after a messy season on and off the pitch. This is how and why it went so wrong for Nuno's side

“Four Major North American Men’s Professional Sports Leagues” is such a fake, dumb qualifier to add when trying to justify writing off the actual recent New York sports champions for your “all the NY teams are ringless for __ years” graphic

People focus on him balancing the city’s budget, meanwhile I’m amazed all it took was one Mamdani visit for New Jersey’s only good sports team to put the word out that they’re ready to move to Queens www.nysoccerjournal.com/gotham-fc-to...

New York City extended their winless streak to five games in MLS play as they conceded twice to FC Cincinnati in second-half stoppage time to earn a draw that looks and feels more like a loss.

So New Jersey canceled the cash grab $10-plus-fees-per-ticket World Cup Fan Fest in Liberty State Park, but replaced it with a…Fan Hub at Red Bull Arena with tickets that cost “$10 plus fees, with free entry for youth ages 12 and under.” Consider the deck chairs sufficiently shuffled on the Titanic

Personally my favorite part of this episode was slipping in an aside about Pulisic getting dumped hurting his goal-scoring form and @thepigeonsnycfc.bsky.social hitting us with the “we don’t have enough time in the show to get into all *that*”
