"Here's my philosophy...I don't need to blow out your candle to make my candle look brighter."

U.S. legend Marcelo Balboa's positivity runs directly counter to the USMNT discourse being led by major media figures.

Is it time for us to just enjoy being fans again?

Absolutely incredible to see Cavan Sullivan’s transformation during his Summer stint with City. Amazing what only a few weeks at a top European academy can do for a player’s development. What has MLS even been doing with this kid?

In this #USMNT group chat, Jay H says “Johnny Cardoso earned his La Liga move through Brazilian development and Tactical Manager’s good word - that’s how scouting works. Freeman getting looked at is just Spanish clubs being fooled by MLS highlight reels.”

Damion Downs with the game winning assist in the last minute on his Southampton debut! That’s an indictment on Pochettino’s lineup choices more than it is me telling on myself. I don’t want to watch Southampton.

This fucking guy probably orders the rye on pastrami

Finally! So long, MLS quota. Get bent, Garber!

Bad news for MLS?

If you find yourself with an hour and twenty minutes to kill, take a listen to two self interested, self important QSMNT blowhards say a lot without actually saying anything. Stick around for Tac crashing out of US Soccer coverage.

As a content creator for both US and Brazilian soccer, here are the 7 things we learned from ignoring the Brazilian National Team’s Copa America Femenina victory

The European season is nearly upon us. As a self proclaimed USMNT analyst & content creator I am doubling down on my commitments in the year leading up to the World Cup in 🇺🇸 to watch & track uncommitted dual nats representing other counties more than players actually in the pool

So Jersey. So Metro. So good. #RBNY

Recreation level goal. Try scoring this when it matters, like a proper footballer - not when you’re already up 6-0 and in the 90th minute.

I don’t care that MLS won 10/18 first phase matches in this made up, cash grab, plastic tournament that I’m not watching. The fact that LigaMX dominated day 1 is all the evidence we need to know the quality gap between the two leagues is widening.

Turner even having a chance in Europe proves he’s a superior GK to anyone in MLS. Now he’ll return & easily outperform every MLS lifer 🇺🇸 who never had the 🥜 to test themselves abroad. 🇺🇸 players must go to Europe to develop, but sometimes they need to come back to actually play

A second call for our Kickback @bsky.app starter pack as NWSL returns this week!

We will be adding more people over the coming days...and of course peer pressuring our friends to join in on the fun on Bluesky :)

Great news!

Why is Leagues Cup even on my timeline? I only respect proper football competitions. Call me when MLS players stop embarrassing us and move to the Eredivisie. Not that I want to watch Heracles play Go Ahead Eagles.

How many more games until Caleb Porter is writing my headlines?

CONCACAF publishes the most recent update to highly scientific regional national team rankings weighted for recency and level of competition. This Summer’s Gold Cup quarter-finalist, Costa Rica, understandably leapfrogs tournament finalists & quarterfinal better, USA, because 🤷‍♀️

Convenient that Messi sits out right when American players are trying to showcase themselves internationally. Almost like he knows his presence would overshadow developing USMNT talent. Don Garber probably orchestrated this whole thing.

Remember this day

Suggesting any MLS All-Star could contribute to the USMNT reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of international soccer standards. These players operate within a recreational framework that produces practitioners incapable of elite-level systematic integration.

Sure, Mauricio Pochettino is choosing to bring multiple MLS players into the #USMNT, but if Gio Reyna wants to make the World Cup roster he needs to stay on a bench in Europe.
