Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Would you look at that? The 22yo right back phenom starts, scores and we are up 3-0. It’s like if playing the younger, more athletic and clearly better players somehow works 🤷♂️ 010
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yes sir. Shout-out to mine this morning, Delta at La Guardia. I couldn’t believe how smooth they made it (I was expecting to die, so that helped) People even clapped 👏🏼 062
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Mbekezeli Mbokazi… holy smokes man. He was supposed to only play 45. Then extra 5-10 because he was feeling good. He played 80 as good or better as any CB has played this season in MLS. He was supposed to be out the rest of the season. He came back to training 4 days before the game. Machine 🤖 071
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Gilberto Mora vs Cavan Sullivan is going to be fun for the next 15+ years. I know… control the hype… let the kids develop… Sorry but no. Both are very real and generational. Different players though. Which makes them unique to each other and that’s extra exciting. 061

Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Why play a 22yo starting right back phenom from the 4th best team in the Premier League when you can still play Di Lorenzo? Am I right? Cheers to another missed World Cup in 2030 🍷🇮🇹 051
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Most of the discourse I read about Noahkai Banks & the USMNT makes me sad (on the other place). I know people want all or nothing, but give kids a break. It’s a massive life decision. You guys don’t remember now when Berhalter gave Dest a full window off for him to think about his decision? 2152
Reposted by Michele GiannoneCharles Boehm ⚽️ @cboehm.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Niko Tsakiris wasn't supposed to make it out of the womb alive; the cancer that nearly killed his father was also expected to prey on him in utero.

Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Youngsters from MLS I would love to see tomorrow on Poch USMNT list. In order: - Cavan Sullivan - Adri Mehmeti - Niko Tsakiris - Peyton Miller - Frankie Westfield - Justin Hall - Neil Pierre Special mention because he is youngster-ish: Brian Schwake What say you? 060
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Philadelphia Union then: - Started the season with 6 straight losses. - Just ONE win in the first 15 weeks (Carnell fired). Philadelphia Union now: - 10 straight games without a loss (8 wins). - 33 points, in the playoffs, 7th place in the East. Ryan Richter miracle 171
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Leagues Cup Final 2026 ✅ Demanding long month but couldn’t be happier with another great experience. I have the best job in the world & the best teammates that you can ask for. Grateful for the trust of everyone in MLS for challenging & encouraging me to push myself in both languages 🇺🇸🇪🇸 080
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Just ran into Nico Fernández Mercau outside Sports Illustrated Stadium after Toluca v Austin. He was there to support one of his best friends, Nico Castro (Toluca #8). Great chat and stories that hopefully I can share during a broadcast in the future. 150
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Spoke to Josh Sargent post game last night. He was exceptionally candid: “I think a lot of things haven’t been going my way. I haven’t played at the best of my abilities, you know? But I’m very confident at myself at the same time & hopefully now that I scored this goal they can keep coming” 091
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 10/08/2026On the broadcast for Cruz Azul v NYC tonight, had the opportunity to speak pregame with people in and around Cruz Azul and without me even saying anything, they brought up someone: “Cavan Sullivan… holy smokes. What a player” “Cavan drove Erik (Lira) crazy all game” Some of the comments. 1316
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Already knew Willer Ditta was the best CB in Liga MX but holy smokes… watching him live is unbelievable. 030
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Extremely disappointed in teams like Nashville that simply gave Leagues Cup away already. At least go for it on the first game and if it doesn’t work out then rotate last 2. It’s a title. Come on. 1110
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Just spoke with Germán Berterame pregame and says that his recovery is going great & faster than expected. I mentioned that Leagues Cup final is in a month (September 6th) and if he thinks he would be ready by then. “I’ll be back before then for sure” #InterMiami 090

Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Asked Carles Gil if he is playing better right now in 2026 than when he won the MVP in 2021. “Could be, could be” he said. (I believe he is) 1100

Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Nashville’s Brian Schwake with the perfect fluent Spanish post All-Star Game interview! Is there anything this guy doesn’t do well? 0231
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I know I’m saying something completely obvious but Carles Gil is outrageous. What a player. Soccer poetry. I think he’s playing better this year than when he won MVP in 2021. 0150

Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Postgame interview with LAFC’s Son Heung-Min after winning (& scoring) El Tráfico 0-3 @ Galaxy last night “When Denis scores, it feels like I scored” “Off the pitch we are very very close” 0121
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Threw this idea last night on the broadcast. Just an idea. This is a safe space. Galaxy… 100 miles south… unhappy (very motivated?) player. Make it happen. 090
Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I know we are still on World Cup mode with an incredible final on Sunday. But… MLS IS BACK! I’m incredibly excited to be on my way to LA for El Tráfico between Galaxy & LAFC this Friday for 🇺🇸 @MLS & 🇪🇸 @MLSes on @AppleTV @MLSonAir Let’s keep the amazing ⚽️ party going! 080

Michele Giannone @mgiannone.bsky.social · 08/07/2026We've taken the Pulisic slander too far. We can & should be better. I've sat down with him several times, & yes, he can be a tough interview & you can say he's as boring as watching paint dry. I know we all want for him to be this amazing vocal leader Captain America B.S. but it is what it is. 1/2 260
