For whatever it's worth, Mauricio Pochettino left by saying "see you next" window to the press pack.

Player Ratings: US win the fight, then win the game vs. Canada If this was Poch's going-away present to the USMNT, it was a damn good one. tacticsfreezone.ghost.io/player-ratin...

FIFA's changed the rules a few times over the years, but at this point I'm pretty sure friendlies don't matter at all.

Now that they've lost hockey all Canada has is "foul the shit out of teams that play actual soccer" or "foul grift in hoops." Sad showing from a once-proud sports country. bsky.app/profile/kier...

I will forever stan any US player who hits Jonathan David with a reducer right now.

Canada have committed 6 fouls int he first 9 minutes. Maybe a persistent infringement yellow is on the way? Please? Can we get some soccer?

No one in the history of warfare ran away as well as George Washington, and I absolutely mean that as a compliment.

Also the American Revolution was not about "outworking the other guy." It was saving your energy while letting the other guy grind himself into dust and asking the French for help.

I don't think so. Probably just hasn't been up to the level Poch wants. He's struggled since the move. Definitely looks like a case of leaping before he looked.

Poch running Gio out there til the hamstring rips off the bone is not what I'd pictured for this camp.

Here's my vote for this year's 22 Under 22 list. It's a hard one given there's more young talent in MLS than ever before, and that's even with a handful of elite prospects getting sold this summer. tacticsfreezone.ghost.io/my-2026-22-u...

Damn it just occurred to me that Seb baited that red card coming to the defense of a black man. The meme becomes realer every day

I'm feeling very cynical, so here are my takes on what electorates have learned/are/want: 1. Electorates hate incumbents. 2. Electorates see politics as a mix of sports & reality TV. 3. Electorates mostly like fascism if it's done with a light-ish touch.

Just pulled the numbers and Iloski has 27g in ~3100 minutes across all competitions playing as a forward the past two years. Better move this guy as far from goal as possible.

Matthew Doyle @mattdoyle.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

All while playing Milan Iloski – who has the highest goals/90 in the league over the past two years when played at forward – in the midfield.

Deserved it, man. His pressing was excellent all night, and he was the first guy making runs into the depth in the first half.

Reyna's more skilled on the ball than anyone we've ever had

Matthew Doyle @mattdoyle.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

we're having fun here, but about 5 mins before the goal Gio & Tillman swapped spots in order to 1) get more skill on the ball in CM, and 2) get someone who'd *maybe* run into the depth out on the left wing. bsky.app/profile/kris...

I get it. I genuinely think you guys are fighting a losing battle here, but Renton is not OKC. And I get to say that b/c I'm an old MetroStars and Whalers fan, and there's a big difference between your team becoming inconvenient and your team leaving all together.
