    I'm thrilled to announce my book, The Messi Effect, comes out June 9 and is available now for preorder. It takes you behind the scenes of Messi in Miami and into the MLS boardroom as owners debate how to grow in a fast-evolving American soccer landscape. read.macmillan.com/lp/the-messi-e…

    They’ve opened the gates and let everyone in without checking tickets. The situation was dire.

    Hector Herrera has now slid-tackled a goalkeeper, choked McKennie and gone studs up on Weah and is still on the field.

    If you aren’t going to call that back with VAR, what’s the point? #FIFAWorldCup

    I would just like to note that it is INCREDIBLY stupid that two yellow cards across 12 games earns you a suspension. #concacaf

    Just a sea of people coming in, but I’m not sure there was an alternative. The situation was not improving.

    U.S. Soccer provided some quotes from Christian Pulisic just now. On the worm celebration: "I met someone really special yesterday. His name was Mason, and his one request was that if I scored, he wanted to see a worm celebration. That’s what that was for."

    Hilarious to hear the guys on ESPN talking about how hard it is to get a win, but they haven't mentioned UCF once in this conversation. 25 straight wins. There is no way for a non P5 team to play for a national championship in college football. Doesn't exist.

    What an enormous win for the youngest #USMNT ever to take the field in a final. Crazy game. Absolutely nuts. Two deficits erased by the U.S. Pulisic penalty and Horvath save the difference. 3-2 the final. #USAvMEX
