I am not sure how many on here have a photo of their soccer team from 5th grade ... taken in 1965. This is the Tuxedo Park School's soccer team. We played in sneakers on the sloping lawn behind the school building. Soccer was for boys -- girls played field hockey -- who were too

#USMNT wrinkle … Tanner Tessmann at CB for #OL in Thursday’s Europa League match. Clinton Mata is injured. Coach Paulo Fonseca: “Tessmann is the solution.” Lyon is winless in 5 and reeling. “Difficile?” Fonseca says difficult is for those at war. (His wife in Ukrainian.)

Obviously each #UCL week can’t be like this week’s but lots to like about Tillman, McKennie, Weah yesterday, Balogun, Dest & Pepi, Cardoso (!). Last week #USMNT players were put on notice to step up. Pochettino has a lot to be thankful for this 🦃 week.

World Cup draw will feature lots of delayed drama. Most matchups AND venues AND kickoff times won't be revealed until the next day. Six teams won't be known until March.

Saturday’s @NWSL final between @GothamFC and @WashSpirit averaged a record 1,184,000 viewers on @CBS, making it the most-watched match in the league’s history.

Really good interview with Mauricio Pochettino. Among the topics: playing or resting players and club vs country tension (eg Chris Richards), different experiences of different generations of players (94 vs today) and the criticism he has received here.

Ligue 1 team of the week. At RB … Tim Weah. #OM

Crazy days in men's college soccer: Top three seeds (and seven of the top nine) fall

What I was trying to say about intensity ... I'd modify, one team is a different level.

#InterMiami is the example for how to spend money on big players. But also, just as important, to use the U22 slot by spending on a kid who actually can make an immediate impact. Take a bow, Mateo Silvetti!

No. 1 seed (and defending champion) Vermont falls to Hofstra on a golden goal (still used in college playoffs).

This FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami game is at another level from the run-of-the-mill MLS game. Like last night's Whitecaps-LAFC.

Stunner from Sonny.

An unusual playoff return.

Two young coaches will be working the sidelines in @USLChampionship final: Luke Spencer, 34, for @FCTulsa; Rob Vincent, 35, with ... 6 games under his belt for @RiverhoundsFC.

This was really good from John and Connor Tobin.

Saturday’s @USLChampionship will pit @FCTulsa against @RiverhoundsSC, two teams with lots in common. LONG waits to play in a final. Stingy defenses, young coaches, emerging stars.

If the message to the #USMNT "regulars" was that every spot is up for grabs, it was heard loud and clear in the South of France. Weah had a big game for Marseille.

As #USMNT players return to action across Europe -- Tim Weah's Marseille is up 2-0 at Nice at the half -- they've been put on notice that they need to elevate their games If they want to make World Cup team ... and play. This from Tab Ramos ⤵️ https://t.co/KnyafnYcKa

First #USMNT player in action after break … Tim Weah, back in #OM lineup for tough test at Nice. His coach, Roberto De Zerbi, has a lot of trust in him, slotted to play at RB.
