Okay a week removed from the World Cup, we can all agree that Diego Luna would’ve changed nothing, right? You mean to tell me Pulisic, Dest, McKennie were ineffective against Belgium but this little fella was gonna unlock the game for us? 😂

@A_Wags24 @ManagerTactical

So… Jermaine Jones deleted those rant tweets? 👀 I wonder why.

@JamesWAVL82 @ManagerTactical

@ManagerTactical And no one took screenshots?

@JamesWAVL82 @ManagerTactical

@PlayoffKings @ManagerTactical You asked. Copy and paste and throw it into a text to speech platform so you can listen to it instead of reading it.

@notberhalter @ManagerTactical

@PlayoffKings @ManagerTactical

@ManagerTactical Which ones?

@RGIII @OuttaPocketRG3 @Gretegiii Stop listing problems and not solutions it’s like saying RGIII wasn’t a good qb in the nfl because he didn’t develop in the NFL and didn’t win the Super Bowl. There are massive underlying issues and problems that have solutions that are not being addressed.

Soccer is booming in the United States and World Cup viewership shows there is MASSIVE interest, but it will never be the priority and always play 5th fiddle to the Big 4 sports in America unless Americans fundamentally change their approach to youth sports. American Soccer is behind the rest of the world for 3 reasons: 1. Cultural Sporting DNA In the USA, Soccer competes in a crowded field of Football, Basketball, Baseball and Hockey instead of dominating like abroad. Europe and the rest of the world built soccer through community clubs, local pride and it being their default sport. They are born with a soccer ball on their feet. 2. Pay-to-Play Barrier In the USA most youth are priced out of playing because the cost to be on the team is too expensive. Currently there is a 14% decline in youth soccer participation between ages 6 to 12. Europe and the rest of world’s accessible club model keeps more kids in the game longer. 3. Less participation in the sport An all time high 16.8 million youth played outdoor soccer in the USA in 2025, but per capita the USA is far behind other European countries like Belgium which has a 3x higher rate of participation for its population size. For American soccer to catch up, it has to change its sporting culture focus to development instead of making money and lower the cost barrier for participation through state and government funded clubs over the next 20 years. Development needs to be the priority, not maximizing how much money can be made off the athlete and their parents. Instead of focusing on the old statement of “if our best athletes played”, focus on making the best athletes want to keep playing and the ones who do play the beautiful game better at it. Then and only then can we find our Erling Haaland, Lamine Yamal, Messi, Ronaldo or Jude Bellingham. We have to build the structure for them to develop in. #FIFAWorldCup #FIFAWorldCup2026 #Football #Soccer #RG3 #OuttaPocket #USA

@stoolpresidente Please for the love of god stop watching

If that was the only soccer game Id ever seen Id never watch again What a snoozer

@3four3 @Untangled__Net @dayglowraven exhibit A

@Untangled__Net As predicted x.com/3four3/status/…

Spain 🇪🇸 is in the final! The more "athletic" team, by FAR, got dominated. Imagine that. If only France 🇫🇷 had even better athletes. 😂

@dayglowraven Obviously everyone has their bias, but look at this guys recent podcasts and predictions on the wc. @343 knows ball. He may have a valid point or two.

no wonder this guy hates MLS he got fired from LA galaxy lmaooo (and their website apparently hasn’t been updated since 2019 bc it still claims he works there)

@stoolpresidente The player pool just isn’t that good, Dave.

@ThomasSmit4032 @3four3 Read this post and note that it was deleted by Jermaine Jones. Connect the dots.

@3four3 Care to explain? Always willing to listen to alternative views.

The more you support MLS, the more you’re part of the problem. No exceptions

@PaulSpacey 100%. It is ironic how the soccer culture doesn’t reflect the American culture of resiliency, competition and work ethic.

Less coddling, more of this. x.com/dom_lucre/stat…

Stop with this weak BS now. Trying to coddle or shelter kids from any kind of disappointment or struggle is the worst thing you can do for character development.

@ThomasSmit4032 @MLS @AppleTV Detroit City FC

@MLS @AppleTV I am in a pickle, I asked the Americans this morning (but no response yet) who to follow? It is a long story so I will not post here- but who? Love the sport but live in the US and want to embrace it here, so who? #makeyourcase 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thanks world, we’ll take it from here. 🌎 MLS returns July 16 on @AppleTV.

@bwfast Abysmal.

The vast majority of the soccer world cannot take MLS seriously. #ProRelforUSA

@AlexMSilverman @SBJ @MLS Gimmick after gimmick after gimmick. The attendance at the World Cup has been great despite the prices. Free admission to a game isn’t going to solve anything. It’s not about marketing! We have the audience! Make them feel raw emotion and connection!

New at @SBJ: @MLS Is launching a new post-World Cup marketing campaign today titled, “Thanks World. We’ll Take It From Here.” It aims to build on club-level efforts to reach new fans with watch parties during the tournament and new ticket offers. sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2026/…

@Jermainejunior 👏 keep speaking the truth! It’s the only way to educate our fans and elevate as a soccer country!

@dpshow @KevinFrazier I get the sentiment, and it comes from a good place. Pay to play is an issue, but not THE issue. @AlexiLalas is right in the fact that we can’t make everything free. THE issue is the closed pyramid. Open the pyramid and the rest will come.

"You are part of the problem!" – @KevinFrazier doesn't hold back on Alexi Lalas and U.S. Soccer 😳

@yimbyman These are investments protected by MLS. Additionally, there are cities and states without MLS teams which makes it more difficult to roll up to the stadium on a weekly basis.

@yimbyman Low hanging fruit: poor quality. The truth: it’s boring. 18 out of 30 teams get a chance at MLS playoffs. “Soccer Capital of America” KC finished dead last in 2024 and second to last in 2025. They’re in dead last again. These are MLS franchises, not clubs.

What’s up with Americans wanting to support a team from England instead of your local team? The Premier League is great, watch it, but pick your own local MLS team, go to the stadium and have a good time. Soccer isn’t going to grow here if you just watch foreign leagues
