This is why it drives me slightly nuts when people post every four years "WILL THIS BE WHEN SOCCER FINALLY GROWS IN AMERICA?!"
Like, dude, do you realize how much it's already grown? I don't need it to be bigger than the NFL. I'm amazed how far it's already come in my lifetime.
One thing I kind of want to stress to younger fans about what 1994 was like and how it really changed soccer in this country….
I’m pretty the vast majority of Americans had not watched a single World Cup game ever before then. People couldn’t get the channel. Didn’t know it was on. Nobody talked about it. US had only qualified 1950 in 1990 in the 50 years before.
Was just an insane jolt to the sport. This is from 1990 NYT.

Stop trying to make fetch happen. MLS is not going to suddenly become watchable because of a World Cup. Soccer lovers want to watch the best players in the world play every week. Those guys - Messi aside - play elsewhere. It’s not complicated. MLS has its audience.
Massive number. NFL Wildcard/NBA Finals level.
Can MLS capitalize on historic US audience watching soccer?
Don Garber: “Thanks world. When it’s all over, we’ll (MLS) take it from here.”
Will right changes be made to make MLS a more appealing TV product?

Group D situation: With new World Cup rules (used at Club World Cup), head-to-head is first tie-breaker. #USMNT can clinch first place if it beats Australia and Turkey doesn't beat Paraguay. (Australia can clinch first if it wins Seattle game and Paraguay doesn't beat Turkey.)

It’s why coaching is more important in this league than any other. Can you coach up every player 5/10%?!
See Bob Bradley in 2019 with LAFC, Nancy in 2023 for examples.
But it’s also why you can’t miss DP and TAM signings. They both have to match the manager.

FIFA released a spicy statement from World Cup COO Heimo Schirgi responding to NJ Transit’s $150 roundtrip train announcement, and shouted out other cities who are keeping public transit cheap.
“The NJ Transit current pricing model will have a chilling effect,” Schirgi says.

How long would you have preferred? I mean it seems exactly how every team does it but you know that don’t fit the narrative. Can I see John Harbaugh video? Come on man stop this

That's actually good thinking cause they will not lose time drawing another ball for the group position considering they will have to draw 48 teams now.
