This is a huge story in US soccer right now, folks 👇
ICYMI: The USL emailed every Championship player an FAQ doc that included guidance on “crossing a picket line” and “Union membership resignation.”
An active player said teammates couldn’t find it until they checked spam. “I just think it’s a bunch of bullshit.”
Full report at @us.theguardian.com.
“We bombed a school and killed all 100+ students inside because an AI chatbot said it was a military facility” is yet another true thing you can’t say to offline normies without sounding like a crazy person
The home form this season in MLS has been holding strong. CC @mattdoyle.bsky.social
this is a bar but I think it's wrong – casual soccer fans definitely exist.
Casual MLS fans, though?
Atlanta United's success in 2026 will hinge on their home record. Hot take: They'll need to win more than four games at the Benz.
For @scarvesandspikes.com, I looked at past MLS seasons to see the "magic number" that could help them return to the playoffs:

That’s right.
did you get water on it or something
It makes me happy to have helped create a platform that refutes the dead internet theory
Oh fuck
Yes, in a future newsletter!
For #MLS betting purposes, I'm not putting much stock into the strong start in 2026 for home teams.
Primarily just a matchup-based quirk. The early season schedule was over indexed with bad teams on the road for the first two weeks of the season.
Bad teams don't win away + drop pts when home
I think the variety of climates in MLS is a huge factor.
An interesting note, it has been difficult to correlate travel with home/road success in MLS in the past. The HFA is similarly large between two teams 3000 miles apart and 500 miles apart. Would be curious to check this out more recently.
We talked about it on The Hex as well - not only home field but note how the West is undefeated 11-0-3 vs the East so far this season...crazy!!! But the West was the home team in every game.
Home field advantage in MLS was never a mystery – but its sudden return is

A global economy cannot exist with an anti-global American dictator. His allies will suffer like his enemies because to him they are the same.

Free Newsletter: It is time once again to gauge the POWER of all 30 MLS teams! Some appear to have UNLIMITED POWER!!!! Others... a mere trickle.
Seriously though, the teams we all knew would be good are, in fact, good.

The Florida Derby delivered this weekend 🔥
Lionel Messi and the players will (rightfully) grab the headlines for that second-half comeback… but @mattdoyle.bsky.social is highlighting Javier Mascherano 👀
Those halftime adjustments? The real turning point.
Or maybe Closer or Document.
