Sorry, I meant Championship, and it is dramatically better of a league than MLS. Then again I take it you don't watch much Championship if you don't think so. MLS would be somewhere between Bund 2 and League 1, this coming from guys I know that have played in both MLS and over seas.

Yet not nearly as technical or tactical as those even Bund 2.

While I am for Pro/Rel, if anyone's new to this,

Stay away from Ted Westerveldt on twitter, he needs help. Pro/Rel fans have tended to stay away from him but I've had him blocked on Twitter
Also, CONCACAF has pledged all of it's votes for the 2026 WC Bidding process to the US.

Hope Solo is going around hoping we don't win unless "Integrity is brought the USSF"

I think everyone but Europe and possibly Asia is voting for the United bid but I'm not sure.

The USSF financial statement is finally out and there's something really meaty, it could help NASL's anti trust case.

Basically Gulati went into an agreement with SUM to let them sell the rights to USMNT/WNT games for 2018-2022 just before the recent election.Keep in mind there's high ranking SUM officials within USSF in high level positions as well.

Timothy Tillman has officially made the move to FC Nuremberg

Sarachan's contract has been extended for 6 months, because the search will last a while and stuff

The September Friendlies are going to be at home vs Brazil and Mexico, Sep 7 and 11.

The England Friendly in the Nov window has been confirmed as well

Ernie Stewarts only job over the next 6 months should be to 1) get Efrain Alvarez to commit to the USMNT and 2) Get him in a European development academy.

Sarachans contract extension doesn't bug me that much I guess. I really don't think people are beating the door down to get that job and he has seemed to do an OK job.

Timonthy Tillman is back on Germany's radar, and with their early exit they will be looking at new younger guys. I don't expect him in Stars and Stripes anytime. I know Tab said he was committed to the USA, but that was never confirmed.

Sarachan seems to have some awareness about the situation he's in, and he's done well given the circumstances. I have no problem keeping him around a little longer until the choice is made.

Bruce Arena is still standing by his assertion that "experience wins games" even after the youngest teams were the ones that advanced and the ones that relied on old guys (Germany, Brazil, Spain) went out earlier than expected.

I ******* hate Bruce Arena.

Pulisic won a penalty and scored two goals, including a penalty vs Liverpool yesterday. Even had a moment with Gotze saying "I'm taking this Penalty"

The US women are playing in a Friendly group thing with Australia, Brazil, and Japan right now similar to the SheBelieves Cup.

Last night US Women beat Japan 4-2 off of a Morgan Hat Trick and a Goal from Rapinoe

Weah scored a goal in the France Super Cup (Like the community shield,etc) yesterday

Robinson assisted on two goals for Wigan in their victory and was the man of the match as a result.

Keaton Parks is on Benfica's UCL roster as well

US Women won the Tournament of Nations with a 4-1 victory over Brazil and the u-20 women are in France for the u20 WC.

So bad news, Deandre Yedlin seems to have hurt his knee, but he didn't tear his ACL but did tear a couple other ligaments

Good News, Tim Weah started with PSG this weekend and caught a keeper sleeping to score a goal. The Hype train has officially left the station folks!
