It will be interesting to see our style against other ball-dominant, high pressing teams. Watching what Seattle did to Colorado last night might be a preview.

It's show time for 2026 and we have our @stlcitysc.com Charity event tracker locked and loaded + our preseason player award selections!

We'll be tracking the events throughout the season, mostly on our Fallout shows to see how much we can raise for Catherine Cares! #AllForCITY

Well, the good news is that the #allforcity medical staff has a great history of getting our injured players back to healthy...

Can't help but feel a little dubious about the Becher love considering he is about to be the starting #9

That roster looks... rough. Like, start of the movie Major League rough.

With that being said, I'm still gonna be at every home game. I just hope my tickets are worth their face value this year and that we have a punchers chance to win games.

With training camp starting Saturday, I honestly can say my excitement for this season is the lowest it's been. New coach with the same roster feels like groundhog day. #allforcity

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

So it seems we have moved on from the idea of having a well rounded sporting side to going all MLS all the time?

Conspiracy theorist election denier given FEMA’s second-most important role Gregg Phillips will lead the Office of Response and Recovery, β€œthe heart of what FEMA does.”

SCOOP β€” Gregg Phillips, a conspiracy theorist with no emergency management experience who helped produce the election-denying documentary β€˜2000 Mules’ with Dinesh D’Souza and has faced numerous legal inquiries, has been named head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery.

The #AllForCITY End of Year Media was held today. I'll have individual posts for David Critchley & select players on my feed. Full video will be posted by @stlcitysc.com.

1st up was Interim Head Coach David Critchley who said postseason training had a huge focus on building a culture.

Roman BΓΌrki spoke today at #AllForCITY end of year media.

BΓΌrki referenced his contract & status as DP directly by saying he had very good conversations w/the club & everybody was happy w/the decision that was made and said: β€œI never tried to put myself in a position where I could hurt the team...

Marcel Hartel spoke at the @stlcitysc.com end of year presser.

He noted the long season, how ready he is for the offseason, but said this postseason training was about looking forward, how they can get better. It was a "great time in our 4 weeks, good training sessions & outside events" #AllForCITY

Chris Durkin spoke at the @stlcitysc.com end of year presser and began by talking about his own struggles this year by saying β€œIt was definitely my toughest season as a professional.”

Injury setbacks, MCL injury that should’ve been 6-8 weeks turned into 17 weeks it felt like. #AllForCITY

Simon Becher was available at the @stlcitysc.com end of year presser.

Becher said postseason training gave them a chance to review the season, hit reset & look forward. #AllForCITY

Honestly feels like asking for anything will get my hopes up too much. My confidence is still pretty low especially considering the moves they have made to date.

Can we get some more home wins so my family continues to want to go to games with me? #allforcity

I was honestly shocked this morning to see the roster decision notification. I think that is what's causing the angst for me and probably a lot of the fans.

My thoughts on Critch: 1. Seems like we can hang w/ fringe playoff teams but given the chance to shoot higher shouldn't we? 2. Can't say I love the idea of continuing to be a pressing 4-2-3-1 team. 3. If he did this for another team and we hired him w/ his level of experience, people would hate it

White words on a black background read:

50+ 
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Food banks had scheduled 94mil(!) pounds of food deliveries through a government program that buys meat, dairy, eggs and produce from American farmers and sends them to help people in need.

Trump’s USDA abruptly canceled those deliveries.

I honestly feel like Lutz didn't have a good enough transfer window. He himself had said that winter is the tougher window meaning logically from his perspective then we needed to make our big moves in the summer. And the rumor was that ownership was willing to spend and he didn't. #allforcity

St. Louis CITY SC goes back to back: Brendan McSorley, BΓΌrki key performers. Brendan McSorley and Roman BΓΌrki fueld St. Louis CITY SC's first road win streak of the season.

Brendan McSorley and Roman BΓΌrki stood out as St. Louis CITY SC won on the road in back to back matchdays for the first time in club history.

A win that highlighted David Critchley's man management approach. Plus, we need to talk about Roman BΓΌrki. #allforcity

Do you feel a pressing 4-2-3-1 is going to be successful continually in the MLS with the salary cap and proclivity for injuries?
