If you spend any time at all in St. Louis, it becomes so apparent so quickly why soccer exploded here in the early 20th century and why it’s still a fundamental part of the city’s identity. It’s something you can say for so few places in this country. Respect.

Such great work from the Copa90 crew here - very glad there's still space and scope for North American soccer content that delves deeper.
Somehow I haven't had the pleasure of a firsthand Vancouver experience yet; I look forward to changing that ASAP.

Garbs, buddy. Nothing about any of this is “fast”. You’re at ***BEST*** a year late on capitalizing on the biggest soccer event in this country. The one we knew about for a decade. I don’t think anyone is afraid of you going too fast.
Garber said goal is to get everything across the line in time for the start of the new calendar in 2027: To launch with new regular season and postseason AND new roster rules and player spend strategies in place.
BUT
"Rather take our time and get it right than be fast and get it wrong."

BREAKING: MLS owners officially voted to flip to a "summer-spring" format beginning in mid-July and running through the end of May. Will start in 2027.
Also voted on the regular season format.

Musing on Slow Horses, Hyperobjects, and Stuffed Crust Pizza
We’ve been watching Slow Horses, a British spy show about a group of screw-up MI5 agents, headed by a burnt out, flatulent Gary Oldman.

We have to get back to winning the fight first, and then we can worry about beating them at soccer. The other forwards who've gotten a chance haven't done that.

In brief: USL is just as soulless as MLS is, at times. This is America, baby. The leagues aren’t the problem, capitalism is.

On the ground here in 🇯🇲, where Lionel Messi's Inter Miami is set to play Cavalier FC in Concacaf play tomorrow. Tickets are still available for as little as $20.
I'm struck by the fact that you could fly from FLL to Kingston and see Messi play — and you'd possibly pay less than you would at home.
