It’s Joncacaf

🌟😎 Tonight's Leagues Cup match between Inter Miami & Necaxa will have a touch of Hollywood - the one in California, not Florida - with stars on the field & off.

Paulinho … purportedly from Portugal, but appears to be from another planet.

Just this morning I was deleting filler to get from 906 to 900.

Almost like you shouldn’t fire your manager who won you a continental title just because he wasn’t ’your guy’

I…guess this qualifies as revenge for the Concacaf Champions Cup series?

Also, teams really do need to score as many as possible to try to secure a quarterfinal place since it could come down to GD or goals scored.

0-0 confirmed.

Congrats to Roku City for landing Leagues Cup hosting rights.

I know they just had another Island Games, but I can't tell you how it went or even who sent soccer teams.

De Paul’s incredible debut shows midfielder is ready to help Inter Miami mount another Leagues Cup charge | LeaguesCup.com By Jon Arnold

Zero full training sessions, one full 90 & three points to go with it.

Rodrigo De Paul's Inter Miami debut provided another in a series of big Leagues Cup moments for Messi & Co. & showed he's ready to help the quest for another trophy.

🚨 Gallese vs. Keylor penalty shootout alert. 🚨

I told y’all to respect Coco

I empathize with them.

Messi’s left foot, Zidane’s vision, Pocho Guzman’s face…

If you didn't just see Correa put Jonathan Bond on skates .. you will.

Angel Correa's arrival seems to have given Diego Lainez a new energy. Great against Toluca and looking superb tonight against Houston - having just finished off a golazo to put Tigres back in front.

The last time Puebla scored three goals in a match was in a 4-3 defeat to FC Juarez on March 23, 2024.

The last time La Franja won by a three-goal margin was Sept. 1, 2023 with a 3-0 victory over Tijuana.

Toluca wins the shootout to earn the extra point over Columbus Crew. A bit of a slow start for the Diablos Rojos but eventually overcame their frustration (with themselves & the referee) to get all the way back.

Welcome back, Leagues Cup!

Congrats on the move, Henry! Looking forward to reading you over there.

I'm glad you're putting yourself and your health first, Sophie. Hope you're able to get the care you need to feel like yourself again.

Selfishly, I hope that one day leads to a writing return, but this soccer community is here for you even if you never watch another minute.

First and foremost, sending support to Sophie. I also want to highlight that Sophie has been a pioneer in women's soccer, chasing stories on planes + trains across the globe for no reward. We all wanted the growth we now see. Sophie was one of the few around in those early years to get us here.

I have been surprised at how nice of a community SoccerTok is & am glad to have Ben creating there too!

Ain't no rule that says a dog can't build a media empire.

Need to get an energy drink on, too. "Can't Jägerbomb yet? Enjoy a delicious Red Bull!"

The long-awaited LAFC move to América is finall- ah, nope. Nope. False alarm.
