Convenient that when Mehmeti and Hall are starting for the USMNT at the 2030 World Cup they’ll already know Michael Bradley’s system

Inside Cavan Sullivan’s biggest game yet for the Union, and not just because of his goals Sullivan's first goals for the Union's first team were highlights, but his two assists also mattered. Malik Jakupovic and Stas Korzeniowski also had nights to remember in a 7-0 rout of Defence Force.

It was Cavan Sullivan’s biggest game yet for the Union, and not just because of the goals he scored.

Analysis, reactions, and his tribute to a soccer legend who was watching from the stands - his grandfather:

Inter Miami played a friendly (?) against Ecuadorian champions Independiente del Valle in Puerto Rico (?) last night… it was weird.

How is it possible to play a game in the year 2026 between two professional teams WEARING THE SAME COLOR JERSEYS, SHORTS AND SOCKS?

🇺🇸🟢 BREAKING: Austin FC has signed forward Christian Ramirez, per sources.

And here are the offseason grades for the Western Conference.

Lots of *good* work, but one truly outstanding job happening out there. And yeah, it's LAFC.

Got to praise John Thorrington for his work this window – and every window, pretty much.

St. Louis City will receive $500k GAM + $200k GAM add-ons for the right of first refusal as part of Toronto’s deal to sign Josh Sargent.

1 of 1 situation. Not just discovery rights. MLS eliminated Allocation Order when STL came into league and allowed them to select one player to have rights for.
