@patrickbvs.bsky.social and I talked about Carrick’s main work being overshadowed by United’s ridiculously poor starts to matches on @thetransferflow.bsky.social This post is not about that. This tweet lives rent free in my head every time I see Yoro play

No league is as heavily skewed toward attacking talent as MLS, where the roster rules are basically designed for this

In 2026, 13% of players called up by Pochettino are teenagers playing in MLS. That's the highest rate in the past 10 years (and likely one of the highest ever). Where did all of these teens come from, and why are they choosing MLS? My first for @sportsillustrated.bsky.social:

Why Is MLS Suddenly Producing So Many USMNT-Ready Teenage Talents?

Mauricio Pochettino’s most promising stars are dominating right here on home soil.

Look at Raphinha, so inspirational

Mohamed@moesquare.bsky.social · 3w ago

Raphinha has been on fire this season, helped by his latest evolution as Barcelona's off-ball dynamo. For ESPN, I had the pleasure of contributing to this piece with Sam Marsden on Raphinha's constant reinvention over the yrs and this szn being his most devastating form www.espn.com/soccer/story...

I just love Tolu so much

We've gotta talk about MLS defending (or lack thereof) after this season. The four worst defensive teams in 2026 currently account of four of the worst five team defensive seasons since 2013, which is as far back as @americansocceranalysis.com's database goes.

Starting a mega thread where I link interesting, analytics-related jobs from across NWSL, MLS, and abroad. Will do my best to highlight important parts of the posting, plus list salary if it's included. ⬇️

Injury reports are key information, not only for fans and media, but for opposing teams. Most soccer leagues in the world don’t have these reports, but MLS operates in the US, where these reports exist across every sport. We dig into the evolution of these reports by team for FAM:

WHAT AN INSANE GOLAZO FROM HALF FIELD BY DIEGO GÓMEZ!

Puskas contender here.

Manzambi is so fun, he really is a bright spot for Villa. If they’re going to climb the table, he is going to have to be central to that

Messi still got it. De Paul still got it. Slick football on what does not appear to be the smoothest surface

Donyell Malen, Roma legend. He's been ridiculous since moving to Italy.
