The most-watched non-NFL sports events in the U.S. since the 1994 Winter Olympics.
I've now been through all the stages of grief ..and honestly, think it's going to be very hard for club ownership to come back from this. The good days will come again, I'm sure, but this will be a difficult road back. #saintsfc
50 years ago. I remember it like yesterday.
Now we’re back. Big semi tomorrow.
Let’s go. Come on, you yellows.

Hard to believe MLS season starts in just one week - MLS Cup was only 11 weeks ago! Pretty good way to get kick things off too..
The FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil is only 500 days away. I hope brands don't lose sight while the men’s game takes up all the oxygen this summer.

BREAKING: U.S. Soccer and the Mexican Football Federation have withdrawn their joint bid for the 2027 Women's World Cup and will bid for the 2031 edition. That means 2027 will go to either Brazil or Belgium/Germany/Netherlands joint bid.

Yesterday was a very sad day with the passing of Kevin Payne; a family man, community leader, and true soccer pioneer. Over the past 30 years Kevin has been my boss, mentor, business confidant, but most importantly my friend. I will miss you KP. RIP

Football is a game of fine margins. How things could have been so different #FIFAWorldCup
This is utterly shocking. Speechless. Grant was a true pioneer, the ultimate professional,and a relentless proponent of soccer in the U.S. RIP Grant.
Boy, this article really lacks any editorial balance. Sure, there are valid points, but it loses all credibility when it devolves into a relentless diatribe of pedantic criticism. Come on, criticizing FOX for providing geographic context “Qatar is the size of Connecticut” Really!
The US host English-language broadcaster of this World Cup has offered up a feast of gaffes, stupidity, and unconquerable on-air awkwardness for American viewers to enjoy.
