I started
@golz_tv
right before the 2022 FIFA Men's World Cup.
I was solving a problem for myself: an avid fan with a deep appreciation for multiple leagues, clubs & stories.
Specifically content & stories from this side of the world.
Now the mission runs much deeper... (π§΅ππ½)
@aa9skillz
Endrick being on the list in general is why no one should take this list seriously. Weβve seen nothing from the kid yet, but heβs above the likes of Savio? Madrid PR is too powerful I guess π€·π½ββοΈ

With as many chances as Ronaldo has had, I think Jota would have at least 1 goal by now. Much more efficient with his chances.
@soccerreform
The sport has far surpassed where it was in America 15 years ago. And it will continue to evolve with Messi in the league.
Just because it doesn't fit your agenda doesn't mean change did not occur.
In need of a solid thumbnail artist who makes football (soccer) gfx & can turn something around VERY quickly. Ideally same day. Will happily pay a bit extra for the urgency.
Drop me a DM with some examples of your work so I can move quickly here. Thanks!
It's crazy to think about how many creators & contributors have bought into
@golz_tv
's mission in these early days.
It's been so awesome to see them collaborate with one another & show each other support along the way.
I want to see more, so I'm kicking off the week by listing
Biggest announcement and partnership in the brief history of our growing startup.

Happy anniversary & hereβs to many more years navigating life together π₯
Facts. Pro/rel would do a LOT for growth of the sport in America.
But alienating MLS clubs and fans is not the way.
Itβs possible to make your point without dragging a growing fan base.
And if you canβt, your point simply isnβt grounded in sound data or logic π€·π½ββοΈ

Year 1 is officially in the books for GOLZ TV. Almost to the exact day of the anniversary, we're announcing an upgrade of the platform and its features.
We still have a such a long way to go but I'm so damn grateful to every fan who's checked us out.
We're just getting started.
Built for soccer fans. Led by creators.
Nothing like a fresh look and new features to kick off December.
Welcome to the new and improved GOLZ TV β½οΈπΊ
Haven't been able to mentally move past the recent decision made by Indianapolis mayor, Joe Hodgesett, to bring
#MLS
to the city, despite the investment previously made into Indy Eleven.
I think
@golz_tv
needs to start doubling down on the footprint we have within broader
#USL
.
The amount of soccer-specific content creators I've discovered lately with small to medium followings but amazing storytelling skills is kinda wild.
Imagine how big some of these creators could be (as well as the sport's popularity in America) with more support and investment
Some exciting news for all
#soccer
fans & creators who have been following
@golz_tv
's journey so far.
We are planning to launch a V3 of the platform that will see new features hit the site aimed at deepening the fan experience.
V3 will also iron out some of the kinks & bugs
Special
@golz_tv
announcement for creators, fans and anyone in between who's supported this project and wants to get a bit more involved with what we're building for the North American
#soccer
community β½οΈ
I REALLY want to start meeting more of my content creator friends in person.
I think this summer is going to be the perfect time to meet up & potentially collab with as many folks in the
#soccer
community as possible.
Who else is down? ππ½ββοΈ
CALLING ALL
#USL
FANS π¨
A small request to help make
@golz_tv
a better & more relevant product to one of the most exciting corners of the American
#soccer
landscape.
Thanks in advance for all recommendations ππ½
College soccer has so many stories that aren't being told. I think
@golz_tv
is going to make a big push to tell these stories & firmly establish a college soccer presence on the platform this summer.
On a mission to one day launch a "College GameDay" for footy fans πͺπ½
@MrKevinWallace
So youβre going to compare Robinson, whoβs never left MLS to test himself abroad, to Jesse Marsch, whoβs managed teams in both the Bundesliga and the Premier League?
Marsch is 100% right and has taken the steps in his career to warrant the criticism.
Calling him βhypocriticalβ
Hope this adds more context to the

lately.
Thanks in advance to all who take a few minutes to tune in. Many more of these to come ππ½

Playing tough on the pitch doesnβt mean itβs a βpersonaβ heβs putting on and isnβt negatively impacting his play overall.
Heβs actually one of the bright spots for Leeds.
@JamesEBriggs
Just say you donβt watch or attend the games and have no idea what the hell youβre talking about.
Makes your clickbait opinion sound less cringe & saves all of the actual fans time in the process.
Win-win.
Think I'm going to start sharing some of the grassroots esports stories that I feel fly under the radar because they do not cover the pro scene.
Over the last week or so, I've stumbled across some gems that I feel could mentally open up some doors for folks.
More to come.
Looks like It's time to go all in on
@golz_tv

If you support the growth of soccer in America, consider following us so you can be along for the ride.
We believe fan generated content is the future of the sport & will help develop a true culture around this game in the States.
@soccerreform
The only "agenda" I have is fostering a culture around the sport here in America. That's it. And I firmly believe MLS is going to be part of that culture long term.
I could be wrong, but only time will tell. Not propagandists like yourself who refute basic facts because..(cont)

Hating on the internet gets more engagement than praise. Guarantee it would be a different tune had Vasquez started and scored those goals last night.
According to the 22/23 United States of Soccer Report, over 500 clubs in total were named when American fans were asked who their favorite club in the world wasπ
Of the Top 15 clubs named, five of them were based in North American leagues.
Here are the Top 15 clubs ππ½
This is probably the only public conversation I've had about my mental health following the end to my playing career back in college.
And while I still deal with mental health issues now, I'm much better equipped to deal with them.
Hope this helps another player out there.

...they don't align with this elitist view of pro/rel that you have.
Soccer has changed for the better because of Beckham and the greatest player of all time will have an even bigger impact on the country's view of the sport.
Get used to it.

Today is a pretty awkward day for me.
I was just let go from my full-time job this morning.
Part of me is pretty bummed because my "safety net" is gone.

We just need to stop looking for validation from the outside sporting world and keep growing. Pointless debate to have with where the sport is currently. Let the numbers speak for themselves in a few years.
As long as I've been consuming football (
#soccer
) content, I can't remember a time where I craved short form or bite sized clips of a show or stream.
I don't really use TikTok or YT Shorts all that much on a personal level. Which probably shapes my thinking around whether or not
