MLS doesn’t want to play Open Cup, doesn’t want to pay referees fair wages, doesn’t give out media credentials to journalists who criticize the league, doesn’t want an open pyramid… MLS wants to exist in a bubble.

Want to help your kid develop a better touch? Have them stand 20 yards away and just throw the ball at them. Over and over and over and over. Throw it high. Throw it low. Throw it soft. Throw it hard. Do it for 60 minutes. You just saved $100 on personal training.

It's been exactly six years since @TaylorTwellman delivered the most iconic rant in U.S. Soccer history after the USMNT failed to qualify for the World Cup after losing 2-1 away at Trinidad and Tobago.

Here is a thought... Why doesn’t @ussoccer remove itself from doing business with men’s and women’s soccer franchises and institute (and govern) a system comprised of independent clubs instead.

Hate if you want... but the “pro/rel” crowd has absolutely changed the conversations happening in North American soccer for the better.

Why is a 10,000 seat stadium good enough for our men's and women's national teams, but not for teams who want to be part of the professional landscape in America?

Imagine if Croatia thought Mario Mandzukic or Luka Modrić we’re better staying at Dinamo Zagreb. That’s what MLS has historically tried to do with USMNT players.

The United States deserves better than the cronyism and corruption that we’re force fed through our national team programs and professional leagues.

regardless of the result the officiating in concacaf/conembol is appalling. Years of phantom calls or no calls at all. Its embarrassing. Players and spectators deserve better.

“100%. 100%. I’m not the money guy and (the one who will figure out) how it’s going to work and who loses money if a USL team comes up, how can they stay afloat. I don’t care. If we can do it, they need to figure it out." - Demarcus Beasley on if MLS needs pro/rel.

Our country does not need futsal programs, or more scouts, or to use a surplus of funds to combat pay to play. Our country needs to provide real opportunities for clubs to grow, compete, and reach the top.

The local high school leagues our referee association services have implemented promotion/relegation. Next Friday is their first “decision day.” These high schools have more on the line than the *best* youth leagues in the country. How can H.S. AD’s figure it out but DA cant?
