This Ticket Pricing Strategy slide from a USSF presentation still sticks with me. The #USMNT average attendance was about 10K higher in 1998 when ticket prices were lower. USSF = Revenue > Atmosphere.

Soccer wars continue.
We are excited to announce the USL is launching a Division One men’s professional league! This new league will bring top-tier soccer to more communities, elevate the game and create more opportunities for players, clubs and fans. Read more ➡️ https://t.co/JIsvhD5Ezg

Outside of #1 and maybe #6, this is an underwhelming list. Hopefully the Sporting Director’s list is different. #USMNT
Who will be the next USMNT Head Coach? 🤔 @ByDougMcIntyre shares his top 10 candidates to watch ⬇️ https://t.co/Q4oNxipGiN

*History Lesson* @ussoccer still does not adhere to FIFA Statutes: Regulations Governing the Application of the Statutes - Article 9 - Sporting Integrity > Principle of Promotion and Relegation
Taking a close look at the history of FIFA in the USA 🇺🇸 On Fourth of July, get to know the 2026 @FIFAWorldCup co-hosts:

Fix the federation. Reboot the system. With the World Cup coming in 2026, it’s a perfect opportunity to show the world we are finally serious by installing true association football connected from youth to the #USMNT #USWNT #ProRelForUSA

Promotion & Relegation completely changes how communities care about their soccer clubs. Every game and season is meaningful. Without it in the US, we’re missing a key part of what makes soccer special. Look at @Wrexham_AFC. Look at Como today. We need @ProRelForUSA.
Alessandro Gabrielloni joined Como when they were in Serie D and he was a semi-pro. He has scored regularly in their rise to the Serie A and this was his reaction just before Como secured promotion. We love this game 🙏❤️ https://t.co/mc32pA0eHE

A fun listen for those who follow #FIFA and their disingenuous quest to grow the beautiful game. #ESPN #FOX
Former president of ESPN, John Skipper, explains how a handshake deal with FIFA for World Cup broadcast rights turned into becoming a government witness for the feds. 😳 "We had an agreement. ... What I know is, they wanted to award it to Fox." More: https://t.co/5iP4OZ04Kl

Is U.S. Soccer truly independent? Or does it still work for Major League Soccer? With #MLS decision to abandon the Open Cup… we’re about to find out.

.@MLS reaction will be to change their own roster restrictions to allow for more reserve team players to be added to their 1st team’s @opencup rosters. Which is fine. They should’ve just done that instead of posturing like they did. This whole thing is dumb. MLS sucks 🤦♂️

Fully expected @ussoccer to cave in on this one. They have not (yet). Is this the start of another soccer war?

“… comparable to a government that favors privatisation gradually defunding public services before declaring they are not working and that only private companies can save them. MLS has privatised and monopolized the people’s game of soccer… “

The league announced it will send reserve teams to US soccer’s longest running competition in 2024

A lot to unpack here. Ultimately how is this allowed under USSF Pro League Standards? The trickle down impact on lower-division soccer is huge. Hurts markets across the country and undercuts the only tournament with 100+ years of history in this country.
NEW: On Friday afternoon, #MLS announced that it will have its Next Pro developmental teams participate in the 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup instead of its first teams. The league will reassess participation for future iterations next winter. Report:
