    ⚽️ Dos a Cero! #USMNT beats #MEX to win Nations League

    ⚽️ I get sad for many of the #USL teams when I see how empty their stadiums are.

    ⚽️ let’s go #IXI

    update: they win away at Memphis 2-1, bringing the season to 1-1-0

    ⚽️ Always enjoy the goofy poetic nature of a Matthew McConaughey conversation:

    Men in Blazers

    ⚽️ #USWNT Gold Cup Champions 🎉

    ⚽️ welp, that’s not how you like to start the season #IXI #USL

    ⚽️ I’m calling this game the “Marais Classique” until somebody comes up with a better name. #USWNT

    Edited to add: this was a bonkers semi-final in the Gold Cup. Standing water. Questionable VAR calls, including a late-overtime questionable penalty, which Naeher did not save. Canada making an illegal sub. Naeher going on to save three when the game went to spot kicks, as well as making one herself. 2-2 normal time. USWNT wins 4-1 on spot kicks.

    game summary

    ⚽️ Shaw is killin’ it this tournament. Excited about her future in the #USWNT

    ⚽️ this game is so incredibly wet. Wondering if it will become as iconic as the Snow Clásico.

    ⚽️ Let’s go #USWNT

    (For posterity: 4-0 vs. Argentina to advance out of the group stage in the expanded Gold Cup.)

    ⚽️ Minimalism errr…less maximalism post

    Too much soccer, not enough time. Here’s the plan:

    National:

    • #USWNT and #USMNT games & tournaments

    Local:

    • IndyEleven (#IXI) games (both women and men)

    International:

    Champions League:

    • Follow a team each year (#CFC if they ever get back)

    Finally getting to the good stuff in duolingo ⚽️

    “When is the soccer game?”

    I lost track of “watke” when I left xitter. But, I’ve found him again on substack and added it to my RSS feed.

    He’s back at it with his hilarious meta-analysis of US soccer coverage.

    example and another

    ⚽️ You know we’ve still got a long way to go on equality when Chelsea’s Emma Hayes comes to #USWNT as head coach at a record-breaking salary, and meanhwile, we can only afford Gregg Berhalter for the #USMNT for about the same.

    ⚽️ It is so stupid trying to figure out where Premier League games are available in the USA.

    Most games are in the NBC family.

    But only some show in Peacock. And some don’t, even if you have Peacock Premium & Plus with live channels like NBC Sports. But the match will be available in the NBC Sports app, but that isn’t covered by a Peacock Premium & Plus subscription.

    🏉 watching the ARG v ENG bronze match while we listen to Inspector Gamache 📚

    These Argentina jerseys remind me of my favorite #USMNT jersey of the last couple decades.⚽️

    ⚽️ Postseason not looking so hot for #IXI

    (0-4 in 47th minute)

    ⚽️ that was a stanky lil’ set piece and I love it #USMNT

    update: beat Ghana 4-0

    ⚽️ Stop asking for a “man of the match” when you didn’t win.

    (#IXI and other teams do this.)
