⚽️ ugh Manchester City is the worst
⚽️ #IXI on to the #OpenCup quarterfinals!
⚽️ Detroit supporters started loud but now I only hear the Brickyard Battalion. #IXI ⚽️⚽️⚽️ - Detroit 0 at halftime. #OpenCup
⚽️ so far there might be more Detroit than #IXI fans here for this Open Cup game 😲
⚽️ So far I’m liking this host stadium much better than IUPUI (but less than Colts).
⚽️ Sad it’s falling apart with #IXI, but I do hope Indy gets a successful MLS bid. Can we not do a military-themed title this time?
⚽️ You can now get an #IXI jersey with the “anarchy firefly”.
⚽️ Let’s go #IXI
⚽️ Naeher again with three saves and a spot kick to help #USWNT win two tournaments in a row.
⚽️ 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:
⚽️ #USWNT Gold Cup Champions 🎉
⚽️ welp, that’s not how you like to start the season #IXI #USL
⚽️ US Soccer Games (#USMNT #USWNT) I want a permanent recording of:
⚽️ 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.
⚽️ 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.)
