@gregkalvass @JamesLarsenPFN The Soccer people don’t want it at their palace!!! They can always go play the games at Hunter Stadium at Lindenwood.

@JamesLarsenPFN 19K will look great at the soccer stadium.

Official #UFL attendance number for the St. Louis #Battlehawks week seven win over the Columbus Aviators at The Dome: 18,563. per The Telegraph

@MattBakerSTL @soccermadeinstl @stlCITYsc Post all the stats you want….but the only stat that matters is we have 10 Wins in our last 78 MLS Games.

After 10 match days, @stlCITYsc is: Offensively: - 2nd to last in non-penalty goals:xG w/9G on 13.44xG - 2nd to last in conversion of shots to goals - 16th in overall non-penalty xG (9th in West) Defensively: - 5th to last in non-penalty goals allowed:xGA w/18GA on 12.95xGA - 8th in conversion of shots allowed to goals allowed - 8th in overall non-penalty xGA (5th in West) What does all this mean? - We're a bubble playoff team in terms of generating chances that should lead to goals. - We're a terrible team at converting the chances created to actual goals - We're a strong defensive team despite our propensity to be hurt on the counter. After 10 games, when you're a good MLS team at defending and you're the 2nd worst MLS team at converting your chances into goals, your focus and changes need to be occurring in the attack and the things directly impacting the attack. Think shot-creating-actions (SCAs). And to me, we haven't seen near enough focus to make those changes within our existing roster yet. Damet has 4 games left before the WC break. The time for change is now. #AllForCITY

@STLCityFanVan To a better team, it couldn’t happen. This team needs to lose out and finish at rock bottom…and then, just maybe Ownership will start caring.

The Union lost their first 6 matches and are ahead of us in the full league table. There have been multiple discussions on here about how this SkC team might be the worst in MLS history. They are only 1 point behind us.

@TaylorTwellman Not sure who decides it, but that might be the MLS Game Of The Year…maybe Game Of The Decade? Maybe a Top 5 of all-time in MLS? Also, Maxime Crépeau with the GK performance of the year!!! I thought he was incredible!!!

@STLSoccerNews So you’re saying STL no longer produces GOOD ENOUGH players for MLS? Wow.

@BrianRoth21 If you want to watch St. Louis area players, I'd recommend you watch high school soccer. College, MLS, and lower level leagues (MWPL) are multi-national and feature players from all over the world. 2/3rds of SLU's roster that made the final four last year were not from the area.

There must must must be questions raised to Damet about the substitution pattern tonight. Anyone with eyes could see SJE taking control of this match halfway through the 2nd half and the lack of subs to change things is unacceptable, regardless of how this match ends.

@STLSoccerNews If we’re going to gloat about STL being the “Soccer Capital of America” and “America’s 1st Soccer City….and we’re going to run around town chirping about all those USOC Titles we have and did that what ALL-STL Rosters….then where are we at TODAY? 2 points out of LAST PLACE!!!!

@BrianRoth21 Again, why does it matter where any of the coaches or players are from? Did Cardinals fans love Molina, Pujols, etc less because they weren't from St. Louis? Did Blues fans not love Hull or Al MacInnis or Bernie Federko because they weren't locals?

@STLSoccerNews If Ownership is not going to spend money for better players, then at least hire a Coach from STL and have a few players on the roster from STL.

@BrianRoth21 Here are the last 5 clubs to win MLS Cup. It. Doesn't. Matter. Where. They. Are. From. Inter Miami - Javier Macherano (Argentina) LA Galaxy - Greg Vanney (Virginia) Columbus - Wilfried Nancy (France) LAFC - Steve Cherundolo (Rockford IL) NYCFC - Ronny Deila (Norway)

@STLSoccerNews I’d just prefer a coach from STL. I think we have individuals here that are more than capable of coaching this team….I’m not sure why everyone is obsessed with having a Foreign coach.

@BrianRoth21 Where the coach is from is completely and totally irrelevant.

@MattBakerSTL @THartbeck_Voice It’s just some BAD Karma…simply caused by actions/words from a certain few. It’s only justifiable that CITY continues to struggle.

In 2023, CITY had 22 points in their 1st 10 games. In 2024, CITY had 13 points in their 1st 10 games. In 2025, CITY had 10 points in their 1st 10 games. In 2026, CITY has 6 points in 9 games. We know there’s been a seismic shift in the tactical identity of @stlCITYsc this yr, but STL is already on the verge of a 3rd straight season of missing the playoffs. 1/4 of the way through the season, they are 1 of just 3 teams with only 1 win and are tied w/Montreal for the 5th worst goal differential. Trust by the fanbase has eroded and the fact is, there continue to be too many areas to pinpoint a specific issue - be it a position, in game tactics, stubbornness in underperforming starters, subs, roster building… week after week, it’s hard to argue: the problems w/ #AllForCITY are endemic

@DJPru @_HeyYoPhil The Ambush also made the Playoffs in 2022. They lost in 2 Games to the Florida Tropics in the 1st Round.

@_HeyYoPhil the stl ambush made playoffs last season and shorted covid season.

@willbrattonstl @j_clem It’s fine to come out and say NO ONE really cares about the USOC. It’s extremely different than it was back when teams from STL were winning the Tournament…back when it meant much more. U.S. Soccer has changed since then & it’s a really watered down tourney now days.

I think there were a variety of limiting factors and I certainly didn’t expect a full packed barn for this match given those circumstances, but the showing was disappointing even despite those limitations. Here’s some of those limiting factors that jump to my mind, in no specific order. - Marketing - Work/School night - Weather - One of the busiest times of year for students - Opponent - Expectation of a rotated XI - Low hype around the team following a start to 2026 that isn’t as exciting to casual fans Among others, probably.

We can't talk about the match tonight without talking about the attendance. As one of the guys whose gone on socials and podcasts talking about the history and significance of the tournament and how St. Louis cares about it;. tonight didn't show it. I'm disappointed. And I'm curious, why do you think more didn't show out for tonight's match?

@MDJD2 @CollegeGameDay I’m curious to know how College Athletes are 17 years old.

@CollegeGameDay Jay Bilas dominated these old thinking whiners. Calipari talks about a 17 year old playing against a 28 year old is not safe. Really? And let's be honest how often does that occur? Rarely if ever. NCAA Basketall is a pro sport & should be run as such. The NCAA pretends otherwise.

The College GameDay crew discuss the current state of college basketball.

@StrongDawgs In the next 2-3 years, the other 3 Dakota teams will leave the MVFC, making it a 6-team Conference….then you’ll see the MVFC and OVC get together and form a new “Midwest” or “Heartland” Conference.

NDSU’s departure raises a host of interesting questions #SalukiFootball247 strongdawgs.com/post/a-closer-…

We’re lucky to have the Great LUUUUUKE at @SEMOMBB

That’s how we do things with @SEMOMBB

@herculezg When @Nike designs these kits, do they ever consult with @ussoccer….or do they just show a concept and say “Here’s your new kit.” Why do we never get to hear from the people that design these kits or from those that have the final say-so?

@TaylorTwellman Why would STL City not be all over this? Seeing Sargent play for any MLS Team besides STL…and I’m done with it.

@Sh00ter27 @AZadarski The fans will always go. Most ECHL fans don’t care or don’t know what level of hockey it is. Fans go because it’s an affordable form of Entertainment, but it’s a decent level. Why do you think the Savannah Bananas draw so well? It’s NOT because of the level being played.

@BrianRoth21 @AZadarski Those players will be garbage. Will be a bad product. Fans will stop going.

Don’t want to take sides in the ECHL/PHPA dispute, but I feel bad for the players who left their families on Christmas Day to travel to their home city, and they still don’t know whether they are playing tonight or packing up their team-provided accommodations.

@Sh00ter27 @AZadarski There was NEVER going to be a strike. It’s not like ECHL Players a making a ton of money to begin with, so they have NOTHING to bargain with. If they don’t play, teams will be just sign other players willing to play for $100 Per Game. That’s how it works.

@BrianRoth21 @AZadarski Been collective bargaining on behalf of workers for 13 yrs and so many times things get settled in 11th hour or soon after.
