No mention of the lack of pro-rel or a real US soccer pyramid in this article. Shows how far we have to go to become part of the conversation #prorelforusa theguardian.com/football/2026/…

@ChiquiPelaez Zendejas is better than both of them. But Luna > Reyna all day
English
No Luna this is wild
Maybe I am bias but Luna deserved a spot on the roster
I would understand no Gozo which is also wild as he is on fire but hasn't been part of the process
But Luna dude really?

BREAKING: The Guardian has acquired the full 26-man #usmnt World Cup roster. A couple of big surprises on there in addition to what's already been reported. Reporting with @mlsist: theguardian.com/football/2026/…

It’s not complicated. Open the system and let MLS either sell their teams out of closed league captivity, continue to play as a circus chain of outlets, or become a the real estate company they already are.

Simon Evans@sgevans
With the 'richest game in football' at Wembley tomorrow - the question of if/when the USA will get pro-rel returns to mind. Despite what some may suggest - its complicated. thesoccerbusiness.com/pro-rel-for-us…

@Chicago2100 I was told in a different city that the height limit exists for the sightline of car drivers. Can't wait for life after cars

Amazing news, lets make it even taller for the most beneficial native species. They reduce flooding and passively clean our air. A win for everyone

Good news for gardeners: Native plants on parkways can grow to 36 inches under a new city rule. blockclubchi.co/49hoT3P

@scottew It’s gonna take hella sprawl to make that profitable

screaming crying throwing up
Chicago has not seen ANY deregulation!!! We produce some of the lowest annual unit counts in the country. Our process is discretionary & high cost ($ and time).

Lord, help me
We need to build MORE HOMES everywhere. More supply will improve affordability - lower case.
I’d love an Austin, TX or Denver, CO renter to write the next oped.
Chicago Sun-Times@Suntimes
There are currently six BUILD bills in the state Senate aimed at increasing housing and lowering costs. "Yet there’s one thing missing in each bill: a requirement to build affordable housing," write Carolina Sternberg and Jesse Mumm of DePaul University. chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/20…

@bikelakecity @TaylorWAnderson Why not this? It would take some engineering to make a transfer station at Simpson and Highland (Cinemark), but it could be done. Then you can have stations at SGH Plaza and the Park
English
S-Line construction is finally underway. Project manager says the bulk of construction, including closure of Highland, will take place this summer, with system work later this year and into next year ahead of a 2027 launch of service. #slc

@soy_sauce97 Never change, dream weaver. The "fiscally constrained" project is the only one UTA will ever build...unless it's the gondola or another coming straight from capitol hill. Thus, we get mediocre at best transit design.
English
In a round of transit planning, in a moment of insanity, I realized I could fix the TRAX Red Line and the future Orange Line by looking into one big project... building a light rail tunnel from 400 West to Stadium Station. It takes care of elevation and capacity simultaneously
English
@TaylorWAnderson @bikelakecity That gives the option of going E, N, and S. North and south are already in master plans, no?
English
@lukegarrott @bikelakecity Putting a station past Highland
English
@bikelakecity @TaylorWAnderson What in the design is stopping it from going N-S? You have to get it to Highland first
English
@TaylorWAnderson In theory, the adjacent redevelopments are going to be transit oriented and there’s an argument to be made for the benefit of visibility, plus improved access to the shopping center.
But I agree this appears to build us into a corner and sacrifice future extension

How am I just discovering this amazing dt slc alleyway
How may I be cast out of West Jordan 🇯🇴 🤔

@alexlubyansky_ USSF can create pro-rel, and all the benefits that come with it, with the strike of a pen.
English
A simple fix. No legislation. No federation approval.
Stop calling things what they are not.
Amateur club is an amateur club. Professional league where Americans make poverty wages is an amateur league.

@_Zeets Not taking Zendejas will kill any support I still have left for this version of the team.

I genuinely hope that they take those two over Cardoso. Please do. I would like to laugh.
USMNT Only@usmntonly
Landon Donovan and Tim Howard make the case for leaving Atletico Madrid midfielder Johnny Cardoso off of the USMNT World Cup roster behind Sebastian Berhalter and Cristian Roldan 😮

@brianschatz Or, you can win with a minority in an anti-democratic system, like the Rs have been doing. Electoral college, Senate, no national referendum

@saltcityfc Great, more franchises. This time, franchises of franchises. How about pro/rel so we get investment in actual local clubs? @ussoccer

“The new company, Hometown Soccer Holdings, plans to move Next Pro teams that are affiliated with MLS clubs to nearby mid-sized markets, where the firm will facilitate the construction of multipurpose stadiums with roughly 6,000-8,000 seats.” 👀

@MattDoyle76 Doyle, thanks. It's the franchise model that does this, with a closed league and valuations based on expansion fees. It's structurally F'd. I say this with love: start advocating for pro-rel or your professional commitment to MLS may seem like a waste of your time and talent.
English
@UrbanCourtyard I bet it was local capital. A pension fund is blind to the quality it's creating. It's not fine.
English
high rises are lovable feats of engineering and one of the greatest expressions of urban vitality
by contrast, the bloated apartment buildings atop massive parking podiums. These are the execrable byproduct of anti-scientific building codes and archaic zoning regulations that kill fine-grained development in our neighborhoods
English
@THEChrisKessell A crock of shiz. Artificial scarcity based in expansion fees and a closed league. US Soccer could change this with a stroke of a pen = pro/rel.
English
No viable offers.
What exactly does that mean? Nothing that let's them make a 10x, 20x, or 50x on the purchase price of $40m?
I struggle to believe that NOBODY wants to buy it.

Vancouver Whitecaps' owners say their "strong preference" is to remain in Vancouver. However, a potential move to Las Vegas has been seriously explored, as @tombogert and @PaulTenorio first reported. The club confirm "well-documented structural challenges around stadium economics, venue access, and revenue limitations that have made it difficult to attract buyers committed to keeping the team in Vancouver." Whitecaps add over the past 16 months they have spoken to over 100 parties with "no viable offer" to keep the club in Vancouver.🇨🇦

Today in nonsense from across the Atlantic:
The MLS are proposing to move the Vancouver Whitecaps "franchise" to Las Vegas.
Honestly, do the Americans realise this is exactly the sort of reason that no-one takes their league seriously?
