Wore the FIFA badge for one last time. What an honor to be on the panel - I walked on the year I lost my Dad and I retire with my daughter walking me out. What incredible experiences in between. Now it's time to watch her do great things.

for bringing her on board 🚀
When I was just a young referee getting a taste of what good soccer was with the USA 17s at IMG, it was Merritt Guthrie who provided guidance as the ref on the day. He did that for years after for many others as an assessor / coach.
Nothing compares to watching your daughter smile so much her face hurts. Super proud and what an incredible environment

I’ve marinated on this one for a bit - I’m going with a genie, because granting wishes feels pretty wholesome. No living in a bottle though. Favorite tree? Palm. For obvious reasons
Never forget the time this 4-year old stole the ball before the match - streaked down the field - scored a goal - then stared everyone down as the crowd went wild.
Sports.
Please mask up & get vaccinated. Let’s get back to this world...
His love for refereeing was obvious and his passion for making better referees even more so. He was giddy to be a part of the pro game. His personality a bit quirky, but his smile infectious.
Love this

Wasn’t 100% sure when defender let go, but knew it was close enough to ask the question. Fischer is excellent in the booth. Get it right and be efficient - always striving for both on field and in VAR
Open your eyes and your ears. It’s a tough read and it’s heavy but maybe it could help you, your daughter, son or friend. Share with as many people as you care to. Thank you for listening ❤️ This is my story

Chills. Some of the greatest on the field don’t have names on their backs and luckily don’t have many moments they need to perform. They had a moment this night, and they were perfect. Celebrate life as it’s so fragile.

Few of us get to come out of the tunnel and know that feeling. This is great perspective. Not only the experience, but the interaction with his family, the fan base, a city, a culture. The back of the jersey is an A+ move
