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…

As many people in my comments have eagerly pointed out, MLS teams will in fact play 7 games at home and 7 away. Was never any good at maths.

YES PLEASE

@CincyAdamS ^fair point.

@Tom_Hindle_ Play every conf team Home OR away

2027 MLS sprint season details dropped: - Starts in Feb, ends with MLS Cup in May - 14 regular season games for each team - Play every conf team home and away - Top 8 teams in both conferences qualify for playoffs - Fall/spring calendar to start in full later that year.

"I don’t want to put a ceiling on myself. Everything I approach, that's me." Rokas Pukstas feels like he's an underdog. Still, he has big dreams. We spoke about life in Croatia, the #USMNT, his mindset and why he's okay with waiting for his big moment. goal.com/en-us/lists/ha…

There's a lot of noise around the World Cup at the moment. Political tensions are everywhere. There is talk of funding issues and games getting moved. It's all valid, but what is it like to be a host committee right now? I asked: goal.com/en-us/lists/wo…

Following recent reports, the following update can be attributed to a FIFA spokesperson: FIFA is in regular contact with all participating member associations, including IR Iran, to discuss planning for the FIFA World Cup 2026. FIFA is looking forward to all participating teams competing as per the match schedule announced on 6 December 2025

Clyde Best was one of the first Black players to appear in the Premier League. He scored 47 goals in his decade at West Ham before moving to the NASL - breaking down barriers to make history in both the UK and U.S. This is his story 🧵

@the_bonnfire Thus making it the first time that any international manager has broken principles for a maverick sort of talent...

@Tom_Hindle_ It makes sense in a vacuum, but it kind of makes everything Poch has said about players proving themselves at the club level a total lie. He's done nothing at Gladbach all year, including after his good USMNT performances in November.

Think the Reyna call up might just make sense. Poch rates him, he's performed thus far, and tbh if you get one month of Gio Reyna being Gio Reyna, then you're a much better side at the World Cup *hides*

Portland Hearts of Pine and Vermont Green play in the U.S. Open Cup tonight and that felt like a perfect trendy derby, so I wrote about how “kindred spirits” now want to beat each other. With input from the locals: goal.com/en-us/lists/ve…
