Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.

I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.

Gave my thoughts on James Rodriguez signing with Minnesota United over on the @scarvesandspikes.com YouTube channel. Intriguing move, but will it pan out? #MNUFC

Ronald Hernandez won’t be confused for an MLS Best XI right back, but I’m not mad to see him being brought back. Will be a good sounding board for TomΓ‘s Jacob and (presumably) ElΓ­as BΓ‘ez as they adjust to life in MLS.

Believe Germany is the first World Cup nation to have its base camp announced.

Yesterday was deadline for federations to submit top 5 preferred base camp locations. Per SBJ's Alex Silverman, host nations and other teams in Pot 1 reportedly will get "top consideration" from FIFA

Atlanta United's updated depth chart after the signings of Lucas Hoyos and TomΓ s Jacob.

-This assumes that Jacob is the starting RB in a back four
-This also assumes negotiations are continuing with Ronald HernΓ‘ndez

Lot of work still to be done, though

I completely forgot about this but Atlanta United don't have a second round pick (32nd overall). That was given to Inter Miami as compensation for the Chris Henderson hire.
