“Go on a road trip” - Transportation secretary Sean Duffy last year, when asked how he expects visiting fans to get from place to place during the World Cup.
Choosing to read "value the mid" as "value the midfield" aka Johnsen is starting and going 90+
UPDATE: The USL Players Association posted its full statement on Instagram regarding the league's email to players.
"If anything, this kind of pressure campaign only reinforces why players voted to provide strike authorization in the first place."
Inter Miami became the latest team to become wallpaper in Trump’s White House. Even by the standards of this administration, and even by the standards of American soccer, it was a truly bizarre thing to watch.

"They were gonna hit us if we didn't hit them, because they're crazy."
"The Dow is at 50,000."
"You'll be totally safe with immunity or you'll have guaranteed death."
Donald Trump, in the preamble to, supposedly, probably, honoring Inter Miami's 2025 MLS Cup championship.
REPORT: On Wednesday, the USL emailed all Championship players with information on procedures for crossing a potential picket line and resigning their union membership, multiple sources have confirmed to The Guardian.

Trump + Messi at the White House today has me wondering: They're the two most famous people in the world, right? Or at least in a top tier with like 3-5 others? I feel confident Messi is there globally but is my perception of Trump colored by being an American in the US, where he's inescapable?
so i mentioned this a couple months ago and now I can officially say 🚨 WE ARE HIRING 🚨
the first job is a hybrid soccer/breaking sports news writer

Outside Boston last night, the local government remains concerned they'll be left on the hook for nearly $8mil in World Cup-related security expenses. And still, nobody knows who'll pay.
7 World Cup matches hang in the balance.

Is the Global Humanitarian Role of Saudi Arabia in the room with you right now?
Long live the GW Hatchet, the finest student newspaper in the land.
“My ‘not veering into a new, endless war’ t-shirt..” etc etc etc
NEW: MLS is for the kids now, with Julian Hall (17) atop the scoring charts. He starts over Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting — less of a "retirement league" than a mentorship program. It's a new normal leaguewide.
Plus: Lionel "Florida Man" Messi, and Joao MF'ing Klauss.

How does he find those windows? All the time, consistently. Any number of bodies, as close to the goal as you want, goalkeeper positioned basically anywhere. He finds the window and scores. Today, tomorrow, next week, day, night, whatever. Insane.
I can’t recall another politician ever expressing this direct of a sentiment before. (depressing! it’s so simple!) it’s difficult to explain how it feels to wake up and find your country is bombing the place your family grew up. again
“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”
We live in an era of profound moral damage.
Two rogue states with massive military capabilities, zero respect for international law or human rights, are attacking countries across the world - sometimes together, sometimes alone. It's always about the land - and the fossil fuels, minerals and water it contains.
Everyone please get the second paragraph of this skeet seared into your brains. Because we are about to see a lot of bullshit like what’s in the screenshot.
From @julianborger.bsky.social: Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran has no mandate – or legal basis
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Iranians, real everyday folks who are among the kindest and most hospitable you will ever meet, do not need war. I’m no geopolitical expert, just a guy who knows an above-average amount about Iran for an American. But this seems very obvious.
MLS Next Pro’s pioneering anti-time-wasting measures are likely to be adopted by IFAB tomorrow and should feature in the 2026 World Cup.
On @us.theguardian.com - my look at the measures, the latest in a long line of American ⚽️ innovations adopted abroad: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
NEW: Tonight in "sentences never before written," Lionel Messi was briefly tackled to the ground by a pitch invader and a security guard in Inter Miami's midweek early season friendly in Puerto Rico.
Messi stood unscathed. Miami plays Orlando City on Sunday. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Over on @us.theguardian.com, I've once again offered my entirely unsolicited opinion on some kits, and this time I'm doing the NWSL.
Again: I'm doing this as someone who can barely dress himself & is largely considered to be a dumpster, aesthetically. Enjoy. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
[extremely Cris Collinsworth voice] Now here's a guy that needs to start reading the Guardian
NEW: Two coaches, both from Europe, accused of riding Ted Lasso’s coattails. Huh?
Eric Ramsay and Wilfried Nancy lasted 77 days in roles beyond MLS, a league-turned-scapegoat for desperate West Brom and Celtic. There are saner lessons for all parties involved:
www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Really good piece from @jeffrueter.bsky.social on Ramsay, Nancy, and what their managerial failures say about the various parties involved: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
