    “Japan was very good, and I expected them to be good. They are very organized and disciplined, and they’ve got some great players with very good technical ability and tactical understanding as well.” I covered Japan vs. Netherlands for @japantimes: japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/06…

    What’s one player who isn’t technically a one-club man but may as well be? I’ll start:

    US Soccer will never be a successful program as long as they continue to ignore the nation’s most talented players and prioritize the players whose parents can afford travel fees, tournament registration, summer camps and everything else involved in the sham that is youth soccer.

    Juan Mata spent 8 years at Manchester United and 2.5 years at Chelsea. Feels like it's the other way around for some reason.

    Just a reminder that Everton immediately suspended their record signing Gylfi Sigurdsson after his allegations surfaced. He wasn’t even charged, but he never played for Everton again. Compare that to how Arsenal have treated Thomas Partey…it’s night and day.

    One thing about PSG: they’re going to destroy you, but they’ll keep it respectable. After 4 or 5 goals, they’ll take their foot off the gas. If this was Bayern, they’d be keeping all of their starters in the game and trying to make it 9-0 😂

    Hector Bellerín: “The war in Palestine was completely ignored, no one talked about it. In Yemen, in Iraq too. Russia was excluded from the World Cup… And yet other countries did the same than Russia for many, many years."
