On November 4, USL Championship club North Carolina FC announced it would shut down operations at the end of the season - just four days before a crucial playoff game. I talked to some of the players about the human cost of seeing your team fold goal.com/en-us/lists/th…

Translation: "grow up"

Words from Pochettino's presser on his decision not to call players who don't make World Cup squads: goal.com/en-us/lists/i-…

Tyler Adams, on this: "It's America. I wasn't expecting anything else."

Poch, on Gio Reyna: "You need to have a player like him"

"It doesn't mean we don't care about the players. We don't want to say nothing to confuse the players."

Feeling the patriotism course through my veins at the USMNT roster reveal. Say what you will about squads being leaked, there was a genuine enthusiasm about the thing. Also, thank you to Gunna for ruining my eardrums.

“Poch, we want Diego Luna” sign visible on the FOX broadcast.

“It still hurts.” 26 players got their #USMNT call. For those that didn’t, the pain doesn’t go away. Same for those that deliver the bad news, too. I asked those that have missed out and those who made decisions what World Cup cuts are really like. goal.com/en-us/lists/it…

⚽️ A temporary soccer field will soon be installed in Central Park in the parking lot behind Tavern on the Green in connection with the World Cup. The plan is for the field to be open from June 11 to July 19, and FIFA will pay for the space's security and waste management.

Really, really, really hope that's nothing more than precautionary for Messi. Hasn't missed a single minute in MLS this year, but came off with 20 to go against Philly. Would be devastating to have a World Cup without him.

🚨 Lionel Messi asked for a sub and immediately went to the locker room. Apparent injury. This is Messi’s last game for Miami before joining Argentina ahead of the World Cup

@_jacobschneider No.

Man City sister club Girona Relegated to La Liga 2. I’d be curious to see if talks of a loan for Cavan Sullivan come about this summer. Sullivan’s German passport would allow him to join before turning 18. An intriguing thought.

@joeclowery @benwright Based.

gio reyna does things on the ball that no other player in the entire USMNT pool can and is worth a spot on a 26 player world cup roster even if he can only give you 15 minutes off the bench

I mean... sounds about right? *maybe* harsh on Luna, but not been fully fit and maybe it's kinda like the USMNT have better players than him and they should probably play so you have a better chance of winning football matches?

An exclusive with Son, in full: goal.com/en-us/lists/i-…

So, the goals aren’t coming now? For Son, that means one thing: “I’m saving them for the World Cup.”

Son Heung-Min is in a goal drought ahead of the World Cup this summer. Being Korea’s national hero comes with a lot of pressure, but the lack of goals may add just a little more. Here’s what he told GOAL about his World Cup mindset🧵
