It's been an amazing journey in 2025 with interviews with @mplscitysc.bsky.social, @sfcityfc.com, @siouxfallscityfc.bsky.social, @afcannarbor.com + more have truly been a blessing and a testament of the work we've put in.

We cannot wait for 2026 and cannot wait to build off of 2025.

Well tonight was the last episode of season 4!

Can't believe it's been 4 years of rating kits across the USL. From the ups & downs, comments from people continue to make this all worth it.

Plus being at the point where people know us, teams like to work with us is amazing to reflect on.

The team takes a look back on the 2025 KitSZN from across the USL. Let's see how the leagues did, stay tuned for our analysis, and to see if any of our predictions came true!

This is (part of) how you make the Open Cup a big deal. By treating it...like a big deal. Lots of respect to Nashville SC for this.

On Sunday, Nashville SC presented the first championship trophy in the city's history to a crowd of nearly 4,000 fans, a milestone moment for the club and the sport of soccer in Tennessee.

This has been such a mixed bag of a year for me, but seeing this article get double views when I normally, is amazing to see.

Seeing all the hard work put into the articles every week, and month is always rewarding and gives me that little boost of confidence when I need it most

Seattle Reign's Sofia Huerta has joined the ownership group of AC Boise (USL League 1/Super League)

“I wasn’t sure something like this would ever happen in Boise—so when the opportunity came, it was an easy decision.”

More (from 2022) on Idaho's role in her journey:

Sofia Huerta's road to the USWNT included a stint with Mexico and several new positions. Now, she could be a key figure at the World Cup.

$13,545 from the Mental Health Jersey Auction 💚
+$5,800 from Goals for Good = $19,345 raised for NAMI Minnesota!
Here’s how that support helps people across our state ⬇️

A dark blue graphic featuring the Minnesota Aurora and NAMI Minnesota logos. The headline reads “Mental Health Jersey Auction.” A teal banner highlights “Amount Raised: $13,545” in large white numbers. Below, text reads: “Thank you for helping us make an impact beyond the pitch.”

A dark blue infographic with the Minnesota Aurora and NAMI Minnesota logos at the top and the headline “Impact Breakdown.” The design outlines how donations support NAMI Minnesota: "1.Every $50 allows NAMI to teach three people the steps to help prevent suicide. 2. $200 supports NAMI Minnesota’s helpline services, which provide compassionate support and information. 3. $500 creates more in-person and online peer support groups, including for families, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ communities.4. $1,000 helps expand classes for families, professionals, students, and diverse communities.” Text at the bottom, a highlighted note explains that NAMI Minnesota’s education and awareness programs reached thousands of students, parents, and professionals last year.

If UEFA opposes the principle of domestic games being played overseas, why is it approving two of them?

Tariq Panja @tariqpanja.bsky.social · 3d

Uefa clears Spanish and Italian leagues’ plans for overseas games. Says they are two exceptional cases but opposes principle. So Barcelona-Villarreal in Miami and Milan-Como in Perth, Aus.
