Per sources: João Paulo is back with the #Sounders organization but this time as an assistant coach for Tacoma Defiance.
JP will be working his first coaching job under former Houston Dynamo head coach Paulo Nagamura who will take over Defiance.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

2025 was my third year with Cascadia FC, so I'd like to share my favorite pieces that I've written to close out the year. Let's begin with a eulogy to a player that got what he wanted but quickly reaped what he sowed. #RCTID
There Is No Need To Be Upset
It’s December 11, 2021. A man is inside Providence Park, and he’s in a place where he shouldn’t be: the North End. One week ago, he stood behind the drums in section 106 and boldly made a prediction t...

As we celebrate Native American Heritage Month, we recognize the Coast Salish peoples, the original stewards of the lands and waters we call home.
Their history and traditions continue to shape the spirit of our region and remind us of the importance of respect, connection and community 🩵

If this match goes to penalties, I wouldn’t hate if Schmetz pulled a Louis van Gaal and made a goalkeeping sub

By the time the World Cup comes around, the 2026 MLS season will be four months in. They’ll be in mid season form so this seems pretty ideal to me
Barring a loan/transfer Alex Freeman, Diego Luna, Jack McGlynn and Matt Turner won’t play another competitive match until late February 2026 — four full months from now. Not ideal for the #USMNT heading into a World Cup.
