I like Harry Kane, he seems like a decent guy and I bear him no ill will HOWEVER It's entertaining to just take a moment and visualize your world-class footballer of choice getting viciously pancaked as they try to make a tackle when someone runs their kickoff back for a touchdown

Nothing says "I will take MLS seriously" like "I'll kick in the NFL in the offseason" (which, btw, you can't do after next year due to the calendar flip) www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The 33-year-old allowed his thoughts to drift to the longer term and as he mused about his ambition to become an NFL kicker, there was a clear hint he saw himself finishing his football career in Major League Soccer.

“I take penalties and it [being an NFL kicker] is a very similar pressure and technique. If I was to do it, it is something I would take seriously. I would take six months to a year to try and practise before. Maybe if I am in the MLS in the future or somewhere like that, it might be a thing where you could connect the two maybe with the seasons.”

Pretty incredible that the World Cup just happened and was exceedingly well attended and made everyone a boat load (literally in the case of the Seattle fan zone) of money for everyone involved and the response has mostly been “lol cute” since the tournament ended

Was just informed that @seattletimes.com is ceasing beat coverage of soccer. Massive loss for both local and national soccer community.

TR deserves his flowers. I was thinking back to an interview I did with him 3.5 years ago, at this point in the last WC cycle, where many USMNT fans felt it was time to say goodbye. He'd already beaten the odds to feature in 2022, after all. Ream said come and take it. Lo and behold, no one did:

“His process is very detailed. His professionalism, his training, his recovery – everything he does has a reason. And I think other guys can see that.’” Minutes out from Nashville-Chicago, maybe the top game of the MLS weekend, my look at the Fire's Lewy dividend: www.mlssoccer.com/news/robert-...

Robert Lewandowski effect goes beyond goals for Chicago Fire FC | MLSSoccer.com

Robert Lewandowski ranks among the greatest scorers of his generation, so perhaps it’s no surprise he’s been productive upon arrival for Chicago Fire FC, with six goals and two assists in his first 10...

“We had a simple rule that when the sun is out, we're outside.” “Growing up, it was always just dribble, have fun, enjoy. Enjoy the ball.” With San Jose and LAFC at halftime out by the Bay, another shout for my feature on Quakes rising star Niko Tsakiris: www.mlssoccer.com/news/niko-ts...

Niko Tsakiris grows into starring role for San Jose Earthquakes | MLSSoccer.com

The term ‘statement game’ is probably overused in sports these days. It was nevertheless quite difficult to avoid the phrase after Niko Tsakiris tore San Diego FC apart in last week’s 3-2 road win for...
