Whether it’s Pochettino not talking to players at all or Berhalter FaceTiming every player in the pool, it’s clear the USMNT has a comms problem

Why Patrick Agyemang's 0.6 goal contributions per match at Derby County prove the EFL Championship is miles ahead of MLS, where Big Pat averaged 0.34 contributions per match.

A huge statement World Cup win for our 🇺🇸 U-20s vs. a 🇫🇷 squad made up of players mostly developed in Europe’s top 5 leagues.

Meanwhile US Soccer & MLS continue to hamper American youth soccer development. We’ve never looked worse as a nation.

Reports coming out of US Soccer that Joe Scally and Gio Reyna have been LEFT OFF of the #USMNT roster to be announced tomorrow. Let’s dive into why Poch prefers playoff bound MLS lifers over 2. Bundesliga relegation playoff shoe-ins 🧵 👇

INVESTIGATIVE REPORT | Is the MLS Quota Infiltrating the USYNT?

WST Fake Pitchbot @wstpitchbot.bsky.social · 11d

In a serious soccer country, roster announcements don’t feel like guessing games. Fans already know the spine of the team. We don’t wonder if an MLS guy will get a call over a Bundesliga role player. We don’t celebrate ‘depth’ when it’s really just mediocrity. Standards matter.

Pochettino said the time for experimenting ended in September. Now, I don’t believe in a MLS quota, but if more than 1 MLS player is called in, or if a single European based guy carrying an injury or playing <300 min this season is left off, I’ll believe it.

Don’t be fooled — today isn’t about Pochettino. It’s about whether the MLS quota survives. Call it politics, call it patterns, call it what you want. But if the roster tilts domestic, we already know who’s pulling the strings.

Exclusive: MLS bias looms large over Pochettino’s October camp roster. Everyone knows the narrative: MLS is irrelevant, yet somehow everywhere. Full analysis coming soon — plus our guide on how to watch every MLS player this weekend.

Alex Freeman is having the best g+ season of any fullback ever and I haven't seen a single person rank him as the best U22 player this year, further proof that our nation's corrupt media will do anything for Sounders fan clicks

President Trump says we should move World Cup matches out of ‘unsafe’ cities. Honestly? He's right. If we can’t handle it, don’t host it. American soccer, we eat our own.

Trump: World Cup games will be moved if host cities aren't 'safe'

President Donald Trump would look to move matches for the 2026 World Cup if he deems any of the U.S. cities planning to serve as hosts to be unsafe.

It may shock the good folks on this app that a number of users on the other site are amplifying & engaging with this as if it’s a real opinion.

Kinda disappointed in y’all that it’s not doing similar numbers here, ngl

Bombshell: Gio Reyna came through MLS’s NYCFC academy. His money is going to USL. What does that say about his faith in the system?

Borussia Monchengladbach and #usmnt midfielder Gio Reyna has joined the ownership group of Ft. Lauderdale United FC, which has a women's team in the USL Super League and will have a men's team in USL League One starting next year.
