BREAKING: @ussoccer President launches plan for the “development of a sophisticated professional league structure encompassing 3 divisions in a promotion and relegation system.”

This is a joke. The leader of the scout program needs to either be let go or given a raise by MLS. Appearances for a national team affect the ability to get a work visa and a players worth. MLS player transfer fees increase. It all benefits the @MLS
100% MLS academy u16 call up!! No words for this kind of spirited recruiting effort. We are so bad at this.. @TaylorTwellman This is what I was talking about…. How do you justify the incestual relationship between US Soccer and MLS without saying the ynt call up system lacks merit? And since our national ynt lacks merit, the national team lacks merit.
USSF rewiring a youth system that they previously wired with the Development Academy and then cut the wire on to allow MLS to enter the youth space (MLSNext). Sure, I’m sure this will work out fine.
U.S. Soccer is on the verge of taking over the U.S. Youth Soccer Association.
A significant, historic step toward a re-wiring of America's youth soccer system — but it comes w/ many unknowns.

This Ticket Pricing Strategy slide from a USSF presentation still sticks with me.
The #USMNT average attendance was about 10K higher in 1998 when ticket prices were lower. USSF = Revenue > Atmosphere.
Soccer wars continue.
We are excited to announce the USL is launching a Division One men’s professional league!
This new league will bring top-tier soccer to more communities, elevate the game and create more opportunities for players, clubs and fans.

Outside of #1 and maybe #6, this is an underwhelming list. Hopefully the Sporting Director’s list is different. #USMNT
Who will be the next USMNT Head Coach? 🤔

*History Lesson* @ussoccer still does not adhere to FIFA Statutes: Regulations Governing the Application of the Statutes - Article 9 - Sporting Integrity > Principle of Promotion and Relegation

On Fourth of July, get to know the 2026 @FIFAWorldCup co-hosts:

Fix the federation. Reboot the system. With the World Cup coming in 2026, it’s a perfect opportunity to show the world we are finally serious by installing true association football connected from youth to the #USMNT #USWNT #ProRelForUSA

Promotion & Relegation completely changes how communities care about their soccer clubs. Every game and season is meaningful. Without it in the US, we’re missing a key part of what makes soccer special. Look at @Wrexham_AFC. Look at Como today. We need @ProRelForUSA.
A fun listen for those who follow #FIFA and their disingenuous quest to grow the beautiful game. #ESPN #FOX
Former president of ESPN, John Skipper, explains how a handshake deal with FIFA for World Cup broadcast rights turned into becoming a government witness for the feds. 😳
"We had an agreement. ... What I know is, they wanted to award it to Fox."

Is U.S. Soccer truly independent? Or does it still work for Major League Soccer?
With #MLS decision to abandon the Open Cup… we’re about to find out.
Fully expected @ussoccer to cave in on this one. They have not (yet).
Is this the start of another soccer war?
Official U.S. Soccer Statement:
ALT OFFICIAL U.S. SOCCER STATEMENT: Major League Soccer has requested to allow MLS Next PRO teams to represent MLS in the 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. After thoughtful consideration, we have informed MLS that the U.S. Soccer staff recommendation, which was adopted by the Pro League Taskforce, is that the request be denied. As we move forward, we will continue our review of the Open Cup to ensure it aligns with the U.S. Soccer strategic pillars. We remain committed to addressing the needs and concerns of all of our members, including MLS, and other stakeholders to enhance and improve the U.S. Open Cup.
