    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

    Mauricio Pochettino with a massive shout-out to Guatemala fans. "Wow. Unbelievable." "That is football." "That connection (between fans and team) is what we will like at the World Cup." "That is culture. What we need to learn in this country." A learning moment.

    Christen Press wrote 50 columns for SA over 3 years while she was in Sweden. As her editor, I can say she is one of the most thoughtful & sensitive players I've ever known. A *brilliant* writer, too. Playing so well tonight means so much to her. The Pitch: socceramerica.com/publications/a…

    Luca de la Torre on finally getting to start in #USMNT's 3-0 win over Honduras: "I feel like I deserved an opportunity for a long time. I've been in good form from my club and every time I got the chance with the national team in the substitute appearances I felt I did well."

    Megan Rapinoe gets red card for dissent (second yellow) from bench in 2nd half of @OLReign match with @weareangelcity (1st game she's started in 2022). First red card in 176 games over 14 seasons with 6 teams in 4 leagues. She's never been ejected in 187 #USWNT matches.

    Gregg Berhalter says big moment in #USMNT camp was everyone watching Barca-Juventus game with Americans Sergino Dest and Weston McKennie starting. Everyone in this young group aspires to be them.

    It’s taken only 9 months under Berhalter for #USMNT to hit bottom. Only difference between 4-0 loss to Costa Rica — low point of last cycle — and tonight’s 2-0 loss to was Canadians didn’t finish. Everything else was same. Lack of ideas, lack of inspiration. Shockingly bad.
