The best in the business. An important figure in the growth of MLS over the years and someone who deserves your support.

BREAKING 🚨

@mattdoyle.bsky.social is OFFICIALLY joining Soccerwise and @kickbacksoccer.bsky.social ‼️

Doyle is one of one and you should support his new venture.

Not an exaggeration to say I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing without him. No one has influenced my writing more.

He's going to crush this next step.

When the World Cup was awarded, there was this idea that, as someone covering the sport, it would be a boon for our coverage, with more outlets wanting a foothold in the space.

Instead, most of your favorite writers are now either independent or creating their own outlet.

Doyle has arguably been as influential as any media person on any continent as getting soccer analytics into the mainstream discourse about teams.

Go support.

Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.

I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.

Will say $2.375m is great value.

Only matters if they meaningfully use it. Time for Corey to step up. @stlcitysc.com

Get ready to meet futi Sorry for the wait. Would some free advanced data make it up to you?

We're so back

Losing FBref is going to only further hamper independent soccer media (and industry media too!) because no one can afford a Wyscout or StatsBomb account on a newsletter/blog/podcast salary.

FBRef was not only a brilliant resource generally, it made so much WoSo data available that couldn’t be found elsewhere. Absolutely gutting for fans, data nerds, and those of us who feel these things shouldn’t merely be the preserve of people with lots of money

I think they have to add in the cash value of the transfer which will put him back into a DP slot for LAG

MLS news: in 2027 Minnesota United will definitely be in a new division with Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City, Cincinnati and Columbus

who knows when this will be officially announced but I got my info from 2 people inside the league today

On today’s @soccerwisehq.bsky.social RE: Olof’s performance

β€œI asked someone (from the club) in preseason… how it was going, and they said β€˜not great’.”

Im 100% with @tombogert.bsky.social on this one - it must have been really bad to have just offered that up

@manuelveth.bsky.social any word on if Sparta Rotterdam are intending to exercise the option on NΓΆkkvi Thorrison for permanent transfer from STL?

3.10 non pen xG vs 0.25 non pen xG.

2nd game in a row with an xG line like that

The team is no longer strong defensively. They were lucky last week. It went the way if should this week

Getting guys back will help a lot. But right now it feels like it wont be enough #AllforCITY

Been awhile since I’ve done some potential lineups. Presented in no specific order. Biggest questions for me:

Is Nilsson be fit enough to start? Is Silva ready for a start here?

The answers to those questions drive the lineup to me. #AllforCITY

@manuelveth.bsky.social any insight into what the purchase $ was?

Small sample size but

I can’t be the only one who felt Joyner did not look out of place, right?

I wish he wasnt listed off roster so the team would feel more free to keep putting him out until its clear he can’t handle that level.

The next 5 matches determine the #AllforCITY season

Columbus
Vancouver
@ LAFC
@ Seattle
SDFC

Thats a brutal stretch and we’re already hurting for points.
