I don’t think any of you understand what this seasons start for the Chicago Fire means. Flickers of hope in an upside down world #cf97 #mls

Zinckernagel

Getting ready to watch first Chicago Fire match of the season. Having Bamba and Zinkernagel as new player names is already an improvement. If they do well this year soldier field should sell a Bamba Zinkernagel. A spicy barbacoa bagel taco. Can wash it down with a Brauhalter. #cf97

Had a chance to quickly view the new Chicago Fire training facility today as I was dropping off banners for the Columbus match. Amazing facility right in Chicago, just north of Pilsen. Only complaint is that the media rooms lights add 20 years and two jowls. #mls #chicagofire

MLS starts this weekend. Last season saw on field improvement but shrinking viewing audience, awkward scheduling and disjointed playoffs. What are key things the league must get right this year? #mls #soccer

USL’s plans for a D1 pro league and Pro/Rel offers fans what they want. MLS often creates new products that no one asked for. USL’s strategy will also do a lot for the Open Cup. I don’t think USL will surpass MLS anytime soon but it will gain ground. Let’s hope Detroit is brought up to D1. #usl

LA 2028 olympic logo with the A on fire.

It is by far the least important concern at the moment, but the 2028 Olympics will become a real marker of how LA responds after this crisis is over. Will it showcase a rebuilt city, a city still struggling, or will it take place in another city altogether? The of course there is also the WC in 26.

2024 in Review: Favorite Designs and Moments — The Footy Museum 2024 has come to an end, and we’re looking back at our favorite moments in the world of football (the soccer kind)! Take a listen for our not-at-all biased opinions on the soccer world’s best designs, greatest tifos, and most hilarious jokes played on us by the Universe.

2024 is almost behind us! This year was tough—Justin lost two parents, and so much happened in the world that made this sport feel very small. Yet, without it, we may not have made it through at all.

So, here is our year in review.

Is this Manchester City slide one of the worst in recent history? Equally as important: Is it the neon yellow’s fault?

Who wore it better?

Who knew that the founding President of the FA was as American as Bedford Falls! #itsawonderfullife #footballhistory #holidays

Yikes! Maybe throwing everything behind a paywall, only investing in one player on one team while forcing an unwanted midseason tournament that undermined one of the oldest open cups in the world were bad decisions? worldsoccertalk.com/tv/apple-tvs-mls-gamble-backfires-record-low-final-viewership/

And this, for those of you who are unfamiliar, is a heartfelt Philly farewell. #mls #cf97 #doop #philadelphiaunion

Father of Football, Arthur Pember: the Man, the Myth, the Mustache — The Footy Museum How did one of football's Founding Fathers end up retiring in a small North Dakota town? On this episode of The Footy Museum Podcast, Justin and Maria take a look of the storied life of Arthur Pember:...

Arthur Pember, the first FA president, is buried in LaMoure, North Dakota. But how did this football pioneer find his way to the plains? And was he a muse for a Sherlock Holmes story? 🕵️‍♂️⚽

FIFA just announced 2040 World Cup to be played by ai controlled cybertrucks on a spacex rocket headed to mars.

The end of Leagues Cup? The Philadelphia Union sporting director "spilled the beans" about the fate of the tournament in a press conference.

Somehow missed this.

We take it as a good omen that Chicago’s crest stands out so clearly in this graphic. #mls #cf97 #mlscup #footballcrests

Whats wrong with #mancity

Goals per game average today
Epl: 4.2

Serie A: 2.25
MLS Conference Finals (so far): 0.5

#mlscup

For a neutral the #mlscup conference finals have not exactly been thrilling football.

For sure. Also if there was a team to make it to final with 0 SOG it would be them. Sounders definitely ferried league from MLS 1.0 to 2.0

That’s right! So sounders, though.

Perhaps no logo screams 90’s graphic design more than the New York/New Jersey Metrostars. One of the MLS’ original clubs they debuted in 1996 and joined the sport drink family in 2006, becoming RBNY. NY has never won the cup, only appearing in cup game once in 2008.

Orlando City are named the lions in honor of the first pro team in Orlando, the Orlando Lions. They played from 1985-86. The throwback logo they have used this year is from their time in USL when they were also the Lions. The semifinal tonight is the furthest they have advanced in the playoffs.
