Sam’s Army patreon is LIVE. Some of u nutters have been reading blogs, replying to tweets, laughing at danglies and/or listening to pods for *10 YEARS* now. Time to take the next step. *Subscribe* for bonus pods, discord access & livestreams of episodes:

CRC 1-1 USMNT at HT. Costa Rica take early lead on DUMB pen. Tillman earned but misses pen. Luna scores on fortunate deflection. Lots to talk about. Join pre/mid/postgame convo on Sam’s Army discord & hop on (live) rapid reaction pod after final whistle.

Man City may never lose another game, ever.

Beyond outing the MLS Cup purse as laughable, CWC money may be insane enough to help force MLS to loosen roster restrictions just so LigaMX don’t dominate future CWC qualifying. There is a lot not to like about Infantino’s baby, but I’d be all for that unintended consequence.

Inter Miami have made $21.1M in the Club World Cup by making the R16, which is >70X what a team earns for winning MLS Cup ($300K). If they (somehow) beat PSG and make the QF, earnings would be $34.2M — or 114X MLS Cup.

Lotta empty seats in Austin last night. It's not lack of interest. ITS THE GODAMN TICKET PRICES. Sell more for less and let #usmnt play in front of a legit crowd. THIS AINT ROCKET SCIENCE @USSOCCER @CONCACAF.

WE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN TRINIDAD & TOBAGO SUCK IT HATERS.

MAILBAG EPISODE: Pulisic. Poch. LD. USMNT #drama. Gold Cup. Club World Cup. EPL/UCL wrap up. Inside TST. Icardashians. We’re going live at *4pm ET* to discuss all this and whatever else is on your mind. Join the patreon & the conversation. Live chat open.

USMNT 0-4 Switzerland - good/bad/ugly. Good: the jerseys. Bad: the second half. Ugly: the first half.

Important: taping live pod immediately after final whistle. Even if #usmnt doesn’t care, we do. Things are gonna get SPICY. Chat open for patreon members. Join the conversation!

Cancel the World Cup. Fire everyone. Bench everyone else. Start soccer in the US over from scratch. Wtf is this nonsense @USMNT??.

Newcastle backing into Champions League while Aston Villa back out of Champions League feels like the perfect way for this season to end.

LFG SUNDERLAND!! WHAT A LONG PAINFUL JOURNEY BUT ALL THE WAY BACK!!! #HAWAY.

Twitter STINKS now. Join us on Sam’s Army discord. All the pluses of #soccertwitter - minus the bots, BS and random acts of violence videos. Needless to say, chat going *bananas* about this Barça/Inter game at the moment…

Unai needs to singlehandedly eat that L. Waiting til 75’ to add Watkins and Asencio vs City’s shoddy defense is cowardly behavior. Grow a pair. Go win the game. Villa are plenty good enough.

Imagine getting work done this week. Couldn’t be me.

Rory just Manchester Uniteded it.

Sam’s Army discord popping off. Spurs fans moaning. Gooners LOLing. Liverpool fans deifying VVD. Toffees potshotting from the tall grass. Geordies loving life. United fans not so much. Join the patreon and become part of our small but mighty community:

This season in a nutshell for both clubs

Fuck.
