@SoccerDadPod @marcelobalboa17 I would pick your hairdo over Tritt’s😜

When you have on the legend, Dan Counce, you ask the tough questions. For example, "Battle of the Hair" Do you take @marcelobalboa17 and the flowing locks OR... #SteveTrittshcuh and the legendary #mullet? Credit: @jarodbertrand on the Q!

A new podcast episode "Ep. 271: Dan Gargan | Lou Fusz's Head "Journeyman"" just dropped from @SoccerDadPod! Give it a listen at ift.tt/xhbu1Mg or wherever you get your podcasts. #STLSoccerPods

Super happy for all involved here. Our own Zach Lewis' son, Grady, is taking it to the next level with the help of @Prospect2Player (Tony!)

@Don_K_Williams Are you kidding? Kids banned. Season minimum. What justifies any of that??? This is Clickbait. (and I took the bait, dammit!)

I’ve played with and against many players like this… What are your thoughts? Part of the game? Gamesmanship? Or no?

This is what US Soccer needs more of. Wholesome values!!!

@MattBakerSTL @stlCITYsc Serious, but simple question... Which strategy has worked?

Let’s look at the work @stlCITYsc has done in the last two offseasons (with a consistent year-over-year Sporting Director) to provide context for the anxiety that I know a lot of #AllforCITY fans are feeling. This one’s long & I hope valuable: 2 yrs ago: - 27 players rostered at end of season. - 0 players signed in Nov - 3 in Dec (Olivares, Durkin, Totland) - 1 in Jan (Dyhr) - 1 in Feb (Kijima) - Notes: 6 players under contract at end of season weren’t available at start of 2024 season: Gioacchini, Pidro, Jensen, Stroud, Bartlett, Perez) Last yr - 30 players under contract at end of season - 1 player signed in Nov (Timo) - 0 in Dec - 1 in Jan (Wallem) - 2 in Feb (Morales, Zalinsky) - Notes: 6 players under contract at end of season weren’t available at start of 2025 season (Kijima, Thor, Indy, Blom, Pidro, Pearce) This year: - 24 players under contract at end of season - 2 players signed in Nov (Lundt/Yaro) - 0 in Dec - ?? in Jan - ?? in Feb There are handful of takeaways to me: - The transfer window itself isn’t even open yet (rumors are Jan 23). MLS trades can happen but incoming intl’s can’t be registered until well after camp opens. - We haven’t historically done a lot of work in the winter transfer window - Lutz sent out more than he brought in each winter. By keeping only 24 players, we’ve started the overhaul already. - Looking at a lot of these outgoing, many happened late into the offseason or into camp. And not necessarily for the better to our team. - Having quantity of players going into camp /= a successful season. - Possibly the biggest reminder: the last 2 years were supposedly under a consistent vision, style and philosophy. That’s changed and changed relatively late in the offseason.

Might be the greatest first touch and finish I think I’ve ever witnessed

@STLSoccerNews @MLS I concur.

The fact that the @MLS is not streaming/televising their own draft which is taking place RIGHT NOW is absolutely insane in 2025. Great way to build fan engagement.

Official! How do we feel about this #AllForCITY ?
