Pablo Iglesias Maurer

I say this about once a year - if anyone has information, tips, questions, comments, compliments or criticisms, find me at hello@pablomaurer.com !!

Really enjoyed this three-part docuseries that features many who built the foundation for our sport in the U.S. Loved seeing Alan Rothenberg, Marla Messing, Jim Trecker, Thom Meredith, John Harkes, Chris Henderson and so many more ... (and Pablo provided great commentary).

So Im watching this documentary and reliving my childhood as a fan. Hearing Harkes talk about a broken heart when the NASL folded was also me. Hearing how proud Henderson was to wear the USA colors in 90. I hope our guys will have those same feelings this summer.

Hey, great news - you can watch the whole thing for free right here: therokuchannel.roku.com/details/9f8b13…

I know you guys have been clamoring to see me and Werner Herzog talk about the NASL & American soccer absurdity, right? Right? Ok well here you go. On Roku, “Soccer Meets America” is out now! Legitimately great doc, a must watch: therokuchannel.roku.com/details/9f8b13…

One of the unique things about working for the Guardian: the Guardian has already written about whatever obscure soccer thing I want to write about. Many times they were there at the time. It's simultaneously lovely and deeply infuriating, lol.

@MLSist When you see a MLS account tweet calm before the storm in 2026

keep talking i’m close

From @mlsist.bsky.social's latest MLS roundup for Guardian US, highlighting ongoing issues at Inter Miami, whose star players seem to be exempt from the league's media obligations, and are denying journalist credentials with no explanation.

Bodies are complicated, weight gain and loss is complicated and nobody gives a fuck about your unsolicited commentary about someone's body. Cheers.

The image of Gonzalo Higuain floating around on here is just so incredibly stupid. I actually sort of respect athletes who let themselves go a bit after retirement - why shouldn't they? They did more work on their bodies during their careers than any of ever will.

As a 45-year-old white man I have a legal obligation to at least once a year listen to Weezer’s “Only in Dreams” and scream-cry. That’s what’s on the docket for tonight.

Gonna take a lot more than $1,000 to undue the damage major league soccer has done to my brain

@herculezg oh i don’t doubt it. it’s just a funny clip! reis was always elite

@MLSist I know it’s a shit fk but underrated w/ his feet. I’ve seen the guy beat everyone in the Galaxy locker room at foot tennis, and he did it with only his shoes on. ..

Something I still think about a lot is this free kick from Matt Reis

lord grant me the confidence of matt reis calling lee nguyen off the ball and taking a 90' (+6) free kick with his team down a single goal

My most likely guess as to what happened here is that someone who has access to Garber's account mistakenly tweeted from it, thinking they were on a burner/personal account. I truly, truly doubt it was Garber, who almost never tweets to begin with (and doesn't speak that way.)

MLS Commissioner Don Garber says his X account was hacked after a post appered on Wednesday night where he appeared to call the premier of British Columbia a "liar." On the Guardian, a few more details on the incident and ensuing fallout: theguardian.com/football/2026/…

I have a lot of truly weird s**t in my collection of American soccer memorabilia. This might be the weirdest. I was trespassing at RFK and came accross... the wiring schematics for the movable bleachers on the "noisy side" of the stadium. I am sorry I am this way.

has anyone located Tom Rinaldi yet or is he still on the run
