Interested in the inclusion of Reynolds and Castaneda. Let's see how they translate out to the #USMNT Everyone else as expected. Maybe a missed shout for Aidan Morris, but otherwise exactly as expected

Right back into it in Red White & Blue. 🇺🇸 Mauricio Pochettino has called in 25 players for our November camp and pair of @CNationsLeague quarterfinal matches against Haiti! #USMNT x @ouraring

If you want a quick recap of what went wrong for #SportingKC, I went on The Designated Players to talk roster building, Rapha Wicky and more.

Was going to watch the rest of the #MLS action, but #RBNY has genuinely ruined my night. Sprint season will be a waste too. And then we'll lose our best two academy prospects since Tyler Adams. Just so furious over everything

We weren't meant to win this game. We were not even meant to be in this game. But the way #RBNY lost this game was brutal. Literally did it to themselves, and will be watching the playoffs from home once again this season. Pain. Nothing but pain

Horvath may have just saved any hopes of this #RBNY season going past next week. WOW

Damn. #RBNY needing to survive 10+ minutes vs this Nashville attack. Here we go I guess

Im not sure I can survive the rest of this match. #RBNy are killing me

Apparently, #RBNY are bringing back Emil Forsberg for the sprint season. In a must win game we've chosen to bench him for....DP winger Jorge Ruvalcaba?? What are we doing....
