From guys like Gibson, Smith, & McGee on the Cards; Bruce, Holt, & Jackson on the Rams; & even guys like Reeves when he was on the Blues, teams here have had black players who became heroes to many in this town.
We want CITY to continue that. That’s all.
On that note, it is important to state that many of the major departures this year have been black (Niko, AZ, & now Sam).
While we see the reasoning, we also notice this.
We’d be remiss not to bring it up.
A SG centered around Black culture in St. Louis rooting for Black players to succeed at the team which claims to represent St. Louis is not “race baiting” or whatnot.
Maybe it is on Twitter, but Twitter isn’t real life 🤷🏾♂️.
Calling people working to help the Bi-State through soccer a bunch of “crybabies” because they don’t come & entertain you during a Leagues Cup game is some real entitled mentality.

St. Louis’s most iconic landmark is the Gateway Arch, but before the arch, it was the Eads Bridge, and rightfully so. It opened in the 1870s and is the oldest bridge crossing the Mississippi River in the US. It carries vehicles on the upper deck and MetroLink rail on the lower
Hartel flying to KCI & putting in significant minutes against “That Team Out West™️” would be the type of sicko behavior we can appreciate in this town.

Seconded.
Included with every ticket should be two 2 hour passes or such so people could use to get home or to their car that they left at the County “Park N Ride” lots.

Happy Juneteenth, St. Louis.
While the enslaved in Missouri were unaffected by the Emancipation Proclamation (as it never seceded from the Union), the day where Union troops landed in Galveston to deliver the news that the slaves there were has been celebrated here for decades.
Roasting fellow SGs for their decision to go to games or not is ridiculous.
It’s not like standing at The North End during Leagues Cup was “crossing a picket line.”
That was established when the SGs initially said individual members could do as they pleased.

peeps please do not go roasting

for their decision to change based on their members and leadership voting to do so. Disagreement is fine. But let's have some respect for our fellow SGs and friends in the North End.
CITYPARK has only hosted a friendly against Uzbekistan & a Gold Cup group stage game against St. Kitts & Nevis.
Not exactly games I’d guarantee would sell out on the coasts, but 🤷🏾♂️.
Didn’t this whole beef start with a Dortmund fan perceiving slight against one of their team’s legends in Marco Reus?
Now we’ve come full circle with a Dortmund fan slandering one of their team’s legends in Roman Burki.
This app continues to deliver 😂
St Louis City SC and SA midfielder Njabulo Blom are on the verge of parting ways. Blom has fallen out of favour under interim coach John Hackworth, and a loan move back to his former club, Kaizer Chiefs, is in the works.

It’s easy to be the “best fans in MLS” when your team is top of the conference.
Yet how about when your team has a dime piece of draws, the most creative players (& their backups) are hurt, & are limping to get to 7/18 with some NextPro kids & the prayers of the righteous?
Not even mad 🤷🏾♂️.
AZ deserves to flourish & Nancy is the best coach in this league.
If anyone’s going to unlock AZ’s full potential in this league, it’s Nancy.
Glad to see him in a CITY shirt when he was here & wish him the best (unless the Crew are playing STL).
Underrated storyline from
@MLS
weekend that was...
AZ Jackson looking like an absolute baller in the Crew's two 10/2nd forward setup. Wilfried Nancy would take someone else's "project" and turn it into treasure.
(On a similar note, Max Arfsten had an assist at both WB spots)
One day, CITY will make the trek to kansas & leave with a win. One day.
Until then, use the Leagues Cup break to get the reinforcements acclimated & get everyone else healthy.
We’ll head back to Schnucks for more pork steaks & Budweiser come August 24th.

My cousin who is with me in Köln is wearing CITY SC gear, and just got stopped by Teuchert's sister. His (CT's) nickname is "choo-choo," fyi.

More than any other competition, the Open Cup is a chance for one to say - regardless of league or budget or big names on payroll - “my city can beat your city.”
That’s why it’s special.

The thing with

games is that the SGs make the atmosphere not sound like a Blues or Cardinals game.
Without the drums & songs & such, the only cheering you heard on Y98 was some “STL” chants.
Swap that with “Let’s Go Blues,” & you’d think you were at Kiel Center.
Fair warning to the

Roman Bürki on the SKC match feeling like a real rivalry:
“I can compare this to when I was at Dortmund and we played Schalke, beating Schalke was like winning a championship.
So this weekend, I don’t care about the rest of the season. We just want to beat Kansas.”

Given the brief hiatus of our ceremonial matchball presentation during tournament play, here's a recap of the presenters we've had at CITYPARK this year along with our song selection for their walk to the North End.
Who was your favorite? 🧵
Yes, there used to be a neighborhood right here.
Mill Creek Valley was a bustling neighborhood for Black St. Louisans that was torn down during the age of “urban renewal” & mass suburbanization in the Bi-State.
“This monument stands as a remembrance of the great people of the Mill Creek Valley neighborhood. The pedestals are portals to a time and place that are gone. Yet, the legacy of these displaced Black people cannot be forgotten, built over, or moved aside. Their collective
We’re glad to see guys like Jayden Reid get a shot, & we see what CITY2 is doing with guys like Joyner coming up on a HG deal.
We hope to see these guys be able to contribute to the main roster as those who left did.
Agreed. Especially for the “local” matchups (7 hr or less drive), whenever possible, it’s good hospitality to not have the guest fans tucked away in the sky.
Whoa, Concacaf today announced the host cities for the 2025 Gold Cup!
As you can see, it's staying West of the Mississippi River with the Club World Cup likely taking place at East Coast venues.
First time U.S. Bank Stadium, PayPal Park & BC Place are hosting Gold Cup matches
A big pillar of Lutz Pfannenstiel’s roster philosophy is trust in local talent and trust in the people brought in to work with the academy.
When things aren’t going well, at least there’s a clear pathway into the first team, and it’s only going to help

This group was made to celebrate Black St. Louis through our support of CITY.
We like seeing players from backgrounds like ours do well here.
We lament especially when said players leave (even when we know their time here ran its course).
Get creative at the library! Creative Experience has embroidery and sewing machines available to use in house at any of our three locations! Stop by our Barr, Central or Julia Davis locations and get started stitching today!
HOLY COW!
If this is legit, this is a big splash. John Kennedy (yes he’s named after JFK) scored the game winner in the 2023 Libertadores Final against Boca Juniors with this BANGER.
The 22 year old would be quite the signing for Lutz & Co.
One would like to think Don, Nelson, & their colleagues are seeing these images & taking note of them.

Even if the SKC fanbase was at the forefront of protests & demonstrations during this Open Cup debacle, I’d still want them to lose.
Why? Because I’m a massive hater.
That’s all the reasoning I need 😂.
A take: all of this “THE soccer capital” noise is funny when the line said “FIRST.”
Whether that has changed now in 2024 with USSF’s HQ in Chicago (& soon Atlanta) or some other criteria is irrelevant 🤷🏾♂️.

A friendly reminder that your ticket reads “St. Louis CITY SC v. [Insert Team Here].”
Any entertainment you get outside of the team is a bonus - not a requirement.
@DVogler
The biggest thing with Sam is that CITY seemed to shift from quick movement through the lines to hoofing it up & hoping Sam could hero ball a goal.
It’s cool when it comes off, but more often than not, it didn’t. Here’s hoping he gets better service up to cook in Philly.
This is probably the best approach
#AllForCITY
content creators can take.
While fans (as groups) boycott Leagues Cup, there are still things of importance that fans will need to know.
It’s on MLS to sell you on this tournament they set up - not the fans themselves.
