sat down with Jurgen Klopp for 45 minutes as he told me about why he doesn’t miss coaching at all, work-life balance, why a Saturday in Central Park is better than a loss at Selhurst Park and more

a lot of great nuggets in this one, I highly recommend reading it

Jurgen Klopp loves life after coaching, doesn't plan on coming back: 'I miss nothing, I enjoy what I'm doing'
Klopp, now the head of global soccer at Red Bull, has a job that satisfies his coaching itch -- without the pressures of bearing '1,000% responsibility' for results

I know Thomas Frank prefers a more conservative approach but zero shots by halftime doesn’t feel like good execution of the game plan, nor does it feel like an actually good game plan

as if this Vancouver Whitecaps-LAFC game didn’t have enough twists and turns in it, MLS after dark vibes have truly set in

Jaedyn Shaw was right when she said, "Underdog my ass" because they certainly weren't during this playoff run - their wins were ugly for the most part and by design, impressively bulldozing through some of the #NWSL's best teams along the way

I know schedules are hard, but man it's such a bummer that LAFC-Vancouver overlaps with the NWSL Championship. You gotta give finals their own space.

Berman asked about competition from the USL Super League, which has no salary cap and per asker @meglinehan.com has a club making an offer to Rodman.

"We want Trinity in the NWSL, and we will fight for her... If you're a player who wants to be performing at your best...NWSL is the place for you."

#NWSL Championship week is underway, so here’s the rest from my chat with Jessica Berman

The league is clearly at an inflection point, which forces the question - were 2025’s hardships merely growing pains or signs that a course correction is in order?

when Mauricio Pochettino said there would be rotation, he wasn't kidding - nine changes to the team that beat Paraguay, with Matt Freese and Sergino Dest the lone holdovers from Saturday

quite the game for a few of these players to undergo the live audition process

pre-game reading ahead of #USMNT vs. Uruguay:

the U.S.’ identity feels settled but tonight’s game is a perfect opportunity to test their progress against the team that closed out the Gregg Berhalter era

plus, Mauricio Pochettino leans into inspirational quotes

4 - Folarin Balogun has recorded a goal contribution in four straight starts for the second time in his career, the fifth #USMNT player to have multiple streaks of four or more starts with a goal contribution in the last 30 years (Altidore, Dempsey, Donovan, Mathis). Bunches.
