Between playing the young players and Bradley having an aggressive but risky style, I've never been this excited for an #RBNY side in a while! #MLS

It’s a risky strategy, Forsberg tends not to show up around kids

From @us|players: 

Two finals. Two leagues. Two totally different endings.

Last week, League One got the full trophy moment - stage, confetti, everything. This week, the Championship winners got none of it... even though all the ceremony materials were bought and ready on-site.

The league canceled the celebration because players wore shirts calling for better standards. A quiet, united stand - met with silence.

But canceling the moment doesn't cancel the message. It proves it.

This post by the USLPA needs to be seen and read.

The league withheld the materials from the USL Championship trophy celebration in retaliation for the players walking out in their USLPA shirts along with cutting out broadcast angles with that message.

This tracks with the new F1 deal on AppleTV as well. My question is, does this mean MLS season ticket holders will get a free annual AppleTV subscription since we used to get MLS Season pass for free? #MLS

This sucks. A lot.

I know from my own experience doing itβ€” it is NOT expensive to pay humans to do this. I got invaluable development working there. As did countless others.

But hey look at that, here’s a feedback form in case you also think it sucks www.mlssoccer.com/feedback/rec...

It sounds crazy but that was an absolute must win for RBNY to save their season.

They playoff line seems to be about 52 pts(!) in the East, which has 10(!) teams with +4GD or better.

Even after sneaking out the win, RBNY likely need 16pts in their final 8 games with a tough schedule.

It was Concacafy, but Gotham FC win inaugural Concacaf W Champions Cup With two saved penalties and a successful follow-up by Esther, Gotham FC make history.

It was Concacafy, but #GothamFC win inaugural Concacaf W Champions Cup!

My initial thoughts, post game quotes from Mandy Freeman, and some late night analysis of those penalties on my Substack. Good night!
