🏆 Which teams can really win MLS Cup? 🌟 Which new stars will deliver? 🇺🇸 Are USMNT spots up-for-grabs? @jeffrueter, @joeclowery & @TBRock00 examine the biggest MLS storylines ahead of the trophy push! Listen to MLS Update 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/26VYuZ…
“74: Drawing the Timbers & More Transfer Window Talk” is live! We’re joined by @jeffrueter from @TheAthletic to deep dive the #MNUFC transfer window. Matt and Dan discuss the Portland home draw that continued season-long trends. theloonybinpod.com
Over on the @TotalSoccerShow's MLS Update show, we dug into a wild weekend of MLS action + sat back as @jeffrueter cooked up a serious set of questions about Leagues Cup. 💻 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=ROQDqQ…
NEW: Once again, Gio Reyna nears the end of a transfer window with uncertainty. Time’s wasting for a one-time #USMNT prodigy who has played just 15.8% of possible minutes from 21/22 to now. His hopes of playing in the 2026 World Cup are at stake. nytimes.com/athletic/artic…
📉 Declining numbers at Tottenham 🤝 Why he is a better fit for LAFC than previous marquee signing Olivier Giroud 🔧 How the MLS side will need to adjust to fit him in @jeffrueter explains how LAFC can get the most out of Son Heung-min. 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/65322…
NEW: Son Heung-min is #LAFC's new frontman, a global superstar with undeniable quality. The issue: how will he fit into Steve Cherundolo's team with Denis Bouanga at left wing? Surveying his final years with Spurs. Son should thrive where Giroud failed: nytimes.com/athletic/65322…
Big stage for a big talent — @realsaltlake & @USMNT’s Diego Luna featured on the sports cover of today’s @nytimes. Excited to see his continued impact in @MLS and with the national team as we build toward the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Read here: bit.ly/45Bj9QS
Today’s @nytimes Sports front features #RSL man Diego Luna, as profiled so expertly by @jeffrueter last week w/ @TheAthleticSCCR
Today’s @nytimes Sports front features #RSL man Diego Luna, as profiled so expertly by @jeffrueter last week w/ @TheAthleticSCCR https://t.co/vjdtYGGmlO
Exclusive w @jeffrueter: Kansas City Current have acquired forward USWNT Ally Sentnor from the Utah Royals. 21yo was named the 2024 U.S. Soccer Young Female Player of the Year. Full story @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/65307…
NEW: Diego Luna had the #USMNT star turn he dreamt of in the Gold Cup. No player has benefitted more from Pochettino, and he’s the main man with #RSL. He isn’t satisfied. “I think it’s cool, but I think there’s still a lot of room for me to improve.” nytimes.com/athletic/65156…
NEW: In the NASL(s), the New York Cosmos had two inspired but brief eras. Third time's the charm, they hope: coming to USL League One, 2026. “When you’re operating a club, it is wonderful to have hope as part of your identity. We haven’t really had that." nytimes.com/athletic/64807…
The New York Cosmos are being revived. The club that brought Pele and Franz Beckenbauer to the U.S. has laid dormant for much of the past decade but will make its return in third-division USL League One in 2026. They will play their games in New Jersey. @jeffrueter has all the…
That's our keeper in the @nytimes 📰👀
NEW: The round of 16 saw #MLS's time in the #ClubWorldCup conclude. Let’s take stock: what impression did the league project to a global audience, and what we learn about its caliber and operation? A big read on the state of MLS: theathletic.com/6463505/2025/0…
NEW: While Matt Turner can't get club games, Matt Freese's strong MLS form led to this Gold Cup shot. He's rewarded Poch's trust, with PK heroics vaulting the #USMNT into the Gold Cup semis. "I kept repeating to myself: ‘I want another, I want another.’" nytimes.com/athletic/64616…
Although the USMNT blew another second-half lead and was pushed to the brink, it’s through to the semifinals of the Concacaf Gold Cup – thanks largely to the shootout heroics of Matt Freese. More from @jeffrueter ⤵️ nytimes.com/athletic/64616…
NEW: #CanMNT saw the Gold Cup as a chance to win an elusive trophy + build momentum ahead of 2026. Instead, they're on the wrong side of history after losing to Guatemala. "I think we lose because we beat ourselves. We can’t do that in important matches." nytimes.com/athletic/64614…
NEW: In a continuously congested sport, the #USMNT had an oddity: a full week off between tournament games. The vibes are great at training, and the team is confident it can overcome Costa Rica. "The team is, I think, ready to compete like a team." - Poch nytimes.com/athletic/64595…
NEW: While many await a potential #CanMNT-#USMNT semifinal at the #GoldCup2025, Jesse Marsch won't overlook Guatemala. "We’re fit, we’re strong, we’re ready and we’re committed. I’m really excited for what that will mean for our performance tomorrow.” nytimes.com/athletic/64594…
#LAFC has “mutually parted ways” with Olivier Giroud, just one year after the French striker joined from Milan. No way to sugarcoat a return of 5 goals from 37 games. Given Cherundolo’s tactical approach, this failure of fit was damn near inevitable. nytimes.com/athletic/61890…
