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.

I've gotten confirmation of this - Argentina vs. Puerto Rico is being relocated OUT of Chicago due to ongoing upheaval caused by ICE, National Guard.

Albiceleste will stay in Leo Messi's backyard (metaphorically) for both of this month's matches

Tim Hotze @thotze.bsky.social · 1d

Mailbox: Event promoters say that the friendly between Argentina and Puerto Rico for Oct 13 has been moved to Ft. Lauderdale for 10/14

No notice on socials or website from promoters or AFA.

Tickets remain on sale at pretty astronomical prices on Ticketmaster's website

Nashville SC are set to make a special announcement next Wednesday at Geodis Park with Mike Jacobs and defender Taylor Washington.

Washington is the sole remaining member of Nashville's USL squad and has been in Music City since 2018, making over 165 appearances in all competitions.

BREAKING: Columbus Crew midfielder and MLS legend Darlington Nagbe is retiring after the 2025 MLS season, per sources.

Nagbe, 35, is a four-time MLS Cup winner (2015, 2018, 2020, 2023) with three clubs (Portland, Atlanta, Columbus).

One of MLS's best-ever midfielders 👏

Obviously I'm not a Union supporter but I'm a huge Bradley Carnell fan and find it refreshing that he's not afraid to have a chip on his soldier and to not still feel the way he does about how his term in St. Louis ended.

(Also wish RBNY kept him as head coach instead of Struber.)

Ben Wright @benwright.bsky.social · 4d

The Philadelphia Union are Supporters’ Shield winners. Bradley Carnell says it came from “a desire to prove people wrong” and “a combination of two failures” – presumably the Union missing the playoffs last year and his being fired by St. Louis.

BJ Callaghan: "Listen, we played Wednesday night late and we played the first game on Saturday afternoon. It's not an excuse. There's other teams in this league that have done it, but it's not ideal for the players health."
