Way too much Austin FC content. Cautiously engaging in USMNT discourse again.
Hi Seattle. You may as well forget this part of the field even exists. Go ahead and just direct our wide players central. Thank you and have a good day.
Welcome back to Austin, Seattle. While you might think this provides us with a home field advantage, you would be hilariously wrong. What a dumb thing to think. Austin does accept advantages. We prefer to be generous and offer them back to our opponents instead.
If you loved the World Cup and want to keep watching top global soccer, a better team than World Cup finalists Messi and De Paul’s Inter Miami plays tonight.
Lionel Messi with better per 90 stats in the World Cup than in MLS this season. This is why you prepare for the World Cup against the highest level competition.
This narrative is going to drive me absolutely nuts over the next four years. Probably for the rest of time. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY TRUE. PEOPLE STICK AROUND AS FANS EVEN AFTER THEIR TEAMS LOSE. www.nytimes.com/athletic/744...
Messi had a “quiet” and off “night” but still registered 0.96 combined xG+xA in a World Cup quarterfinal at 39 years old.
Complete this sentence: “When the President invites you somewhere you….” I swear the right answer isn’t very hard!
I can understand why people root against the US but the world should actually be united against UEFA.
These are the career stats of the player who is terrifying the world footballing elite.
Balogun is a great player but these guys are the ones who are going to win or lose this game imho.
Just to come back to the Pepi stuff — check the xG chart. This team played without Balogun for 30 minutes, and down a man, and still generated equivalent xG to their opponents (and scored a goal). The offense can still cook without Balo.
OK OK this is the true “WELCOME TO CONCACAF!!!!!” of the tournament so far.
If not for playing against this man Messi’s decline would have already happened.
When are players gonna realize that you need to run like this across the back line to stay onside.
Worth noting that the play that created the US's first goal produced exactly 0xG because there was no shot from a US player.
Literally just one point from second place in COMNEBOL. bsky.app/profile/herc...
Bizarre choice by Fox to anchor their first World Cup broadcast from an empty stadium in LA and not either 1) a studio that they could use consistently across all broadcasts 2) Mexico City. This looks pretty shit.
Pepi’s movement on his assist. It’s just a basic trick but good players do simple things very well.
