Hell Is Real. Flame and soccer ball emojis. MLS maxxing!

Looking for a solid bet this weekend? Put some money down on Bruno Fernandes scoring against Leeds. Why? I played my Wild Card in #FPL today to take advantage of the funds I gained from dropping the Manchester United midfielder from my roster... which means he's an absolute lock for a goal.

Listen in on your commute, on your break, or while pretending to do work!

Nominating this top-class Beavercreek, Ohio, display I stumbled across this morning for the 2026 Ballon d'Gore – a prize I literally just made up – given to the best soccer-themed Halloween decoration of the season. Any other worthy nominees out there?

Bot test: promotion and relegation isn't economically viable in American professional soccer

One game down, six more to go this weekend... coaching ain't for the weak. #YouthSoccer

Listening to Warren Barton commentate a game after 10pm... am I watching Fox Sports World in 2007? #worldcup

With #FIFA awarding their inaugural "Peace Prize" to a politician who has done NOTHING for the sport and for non-sporting, political reasons, they've destroyed their ability to claim themselves neutral arbiters when ruling on their own ban of governmental interference in sporting affairs.

Here are the final #2026WorldCup groups after today's draw in Washington, D.C. The expanded format has diluted the field a bit so there's more parity across the groups than in previous tournaments, plus a few TBD's, but I'm leaning towards Groups I and L for my "Group of Death" nod.

Here's how the #USMNT 's official 2026 World Cup draw worked itself out: 🇺🇸 - USA, FIFA Rank #14 🇦🇺 - AUS, #26 🇵🇾 - PAR, #39 ⁉️ - TBD The final group spot will be one of 🇹🇷 (TUR #25), 🇷🇴 (ROU 47), 🇸🇰 (SVK 45), or 🇽🇰 (KOS 80). What are your thoughts on Group D and the Americans' odds?

Ten years of FC Cincinnati... man. It's difficult to find the right words to capture the complicated emotions intertwined with the club's impact on my life over the last decade. But what I value most about FCC is the platform it provided me to build relationships with so many amazing people.

Up early this morning on vacation to watch my former club, and friends on the coaching staff, challenge for a national championship on a national television broadcast. Give 'em hell, Ohio Galaxies!

The new Cosmos' mascot should be a zombie.

There's nothing quite like watching the national team in your town on your birthday. #uswnt

FIFA is so desperate to move tickets for the Club World Cup that they have Verizon sending push notifications out for "exclusive discounts". #fifacwc

Not even a "thank you" for his services or accomplishments? With this piss-poor excuse of a Friday news dump announcement, you'd think Ange was at Spurs for a month and lost every match. Nothing will ever change at Tottenham until Levy divorces himself from sporting decisions. #coys

This extremely good girl has better control with her right foot than I do.

Nothing says "Welcome to our country!" like Customs and Border Protection reminding you they'll be keeping an eye on you while you're here for the #FifaClubWorldCup.

On one hand, I can appreciate that I haven't had to coach in mid-summer heat yet this spring. On the other hand, it's super freaking annoying that I haven't gone a single week without having to contemplate cancelling a training session.

Just ignore that our last episode was our Premier League preview show... and enjoy our Premier League REVIEW show! Listen in wherever you listen to podcasts, or stream it at the link below.

We don't do sales that often, so you better get in there...

We're gonna have to make a third one now, aren't we? 🏆 #coys

The last time Spurs won a trophy, my wife and I weren't even dating. The last time they made a final, my kids were all little. Today, I got to celebrate a major title with them all. The emotions are real. #coys

MATE

COME ON YOU SPURS! 🏆🏆🏆🏆

#COYS!

We're ready for the Europa League final here in Cincinnati ... COME ON YOU SPURS! #COYS

The quality of the soccer on display in the opening 25 minutes of the #HellIsRealDerby has been phenomenal. Different sides with different strengths–but each really pushing the other. Ohio soccer, it's the heart of it all.

Don't get me wrong: I love the epic power struggle between sects of space wizards and their super cool laser swords... but for me, Andor is the best ever #StarWars media. The writing is phenomenal. The acting is top class. And with characters cut from all cloths, it's so much more relatable.

He's really doing it... he's really trying to play for them all. Godspeed, Kei.
