As part of the shift, the 2027–28 MLS regular season will kick off in mid-to-late July 2027 and conclude with the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in May 2028.

MLS will observe a midwinter break from mid-December through early February, with no league matches scheduled in January.

New from me:

A big interview with Mauricio Pochettino as the #USMNT gets to work in Philadelphia.

On the team's progress so far, his values, and his praise for the Union's impressive contributions to the national team player pool:

Quick Mascherano story:

{Off camera} between doing the same interview, first in English and then in Spanish. Told him his English has gotten so much better, more fluid, almost perfect.

He smiled, almost embarrassed thanked me and said:

Happy for Mascherano. Go ask Tata how brutally impossible is that job.

He has been an absolute gentleman every game, always available to talk, always respectful, always honest, always open even for a quick chat or inquiry. You have to love that from a coach.

Also getting better w/ time on the job.

I love you, admin.

Keep letting BJ cook. The future is bright.

Reinforcements at CB & Winger might be needed though, imo.
Brutal for Nashville that such a great season is ending with such a hollow whimper.

They've been absolutely carved apart here. 13 goals conceded in four games against Miami.

Between Minnesota v Seattle & Cincinnati v Columbus my heart can’t take much more.

But of course we still have Miami v Nashville 🙃
November 9, 2025 at 1:11 AM
I don’t understand how that Columbus goal wasn’t offside. Yes, camera angles can fool everyone. But also, the lines on the grass are a thing too that we all can see.

Of course it’s Thomas (!) who misses it.

What a series.
SCHMETZER DID IT! Fuck yeah. van Gaal 2014 sicko 🤩

We had Andrés Perea on our pregame show tonight. He was awesome. I’m sick to my stomach.

Wonderful season by him. Hopefully he comes back stronger.

Charlotte under Dean Smith in the playoffs: 6 games, 0 wins in regulation, 2 goals.

Not ideal.

Give these guys a follow and bully them into making this their permanent home. Twitter sucks.
So…were suspended from Twitter. Not sure what we did but we are working to come back.

Who knows, we just might take up permanent residence here!

Roldan +24… this is the way.
Mauricio Pochettino announces a surprising #USMNT roster for November camp.

Missing a number of regulars (Pulisic, McKennie, Weah, Richards). Gio Reyna and Joe Scally are back in, as is Ricardo Pepi. (And Seb Berhalter...)

Thoughts on MLS Best XI:

- A Tverskov away from close to perfection.
- Voting system & restrictions didn’t help Surridge. Yes, I know 🤷🏼‍♂️
- Tverskov, Boxall & Najar are the only snubs that have a case
- Did I mention Tverskov?
- We need, like the NBA, second & third teams.
- Tverskov anyone?

Anders Dreyer as Newcomer 2025 is probably the easiest vote & winner in the history of the league.

It’s impossible to get consensus on anything nowadays but this one should’ve been as unanimous as it gets.

You can make a case that Son took LAFC from pretender to contender but 12G is a no go.

All the Eastern Conference Round 1, Game 2s are in the books!

Here's who's going home, what we learned, and what should come next.

Including a plea for courage from NYCFC, more of the same from Nashville... and the best night for Crew fans since 2024.

Evergreen.

The U is positively not back.
We deserved it.

Cristobal (mediocre coach) + Beck (mediocre QB) was a disaster waiting to happen.

My QB’s are Carson Beck and Tua.

I can’t anymore.
