Crazy to think ESPN won't have any soccer (other than USL) for the foreseeable future. Have watched a lot of great soccer on the channel.

ESPN & ABC have carried @MLS matches since the league debuted 27 years ago w/ this inaugural game in April 1996. A salute today to the passionate and dedicated staff who've worked on this property all these years. They love the sport and this league.

Say what you want about Pulisic, but time and again he shows up in the big games. Nations League final vs. Mexico. Qualifier vs. Mexico. Hat trick vs. Panama. Champions League semifinal vs. Real Madrid. FA Cup final goal vs. Arsenal in 2020. Tonight vs. Iran with a big goal.

they can't do that at the int'l level. Moore or Scally would have been better than Yedlin, and you just can't play Acosta in that position...Silver lining? Pulisic looked aggressive and defense was solid. Reason to believe the team can keep getting results.

not subbing McKennie at halftime or before the 60' was a huge mistake. If you put in Reyna for him, he can gain control of the game w/his passing. IMO- that was the biggest issue in the game. Also, Acosta and Yedlin can do some things, but they were needed to create chances and

On that #USMNT game- a draw is disappointing, because they should have scored more when dominating the first half, and bc Wales scored from our unforced error. McKennie started despite coming back from an injury, and pretty obviously hurt himself later in the first half.

Nashville is a soccer town! And with Atlanta and Charlotte, the Southeast! For those of us who grew up playing here, this is amazing to see how far soccer has come in this region.

Ronaldo is better at soccer than Westbrook is at basketball, but there are a lot of parallels between what is going on with both of them right now. Once dominant player who plays in such a way that a team has to be built around them. As they decline, winning teams dont want them.

This Cristiano Ronaldo 🇵🇹 transfer saga is kinda sad for a legend like him. Pretty much reaching a point where he is begging top clubs to take him but none want him… This is not the way his career should have gone towards the end.

This was a good list, but you’re gonna have to remake it in 6 months when Walker Zimmerman wins the unprecedented MLS Cup/World Cup double.

1. Alessandro Nesta 🇮🇹 78 caps, 0 goals Immaculate defender who made everything look so easy. Always in the right position, he read the game superbly and timed his interventions to perfection. Injuries cost him and the Azzurri dearly.

I was in my apartment in Vegas w/ my friend Nate, watching before going into work for the day. We jumped up and down hugging when he scored the goal. One of my most vivid sports watching memories.
