Diego Luna won over Maurico Pochettino & it appears that Cristian Roldan has as well:

"He’s what we need. Maybe Roldan is an example if you want to build your perfect player he has a little bit of everything."

Roldan assisted on both Haji Wright goals.

Matt Freese was in goal for both #USMNT games in Oct.

"For sure there is some reasoning behind it-we are also happy with the keepers. We try to give time in the right moment. Maybe the next month there may be a possibility of another keeper to play." - Mauricio Pochettino after win v Australia

Glenn Crooks @glenncrooks.bsky.social · 16h

Pulisic & Tillman w/ hamstring issues.

Pochettino concerned w/ the sequence of games after defeat of Australia.

"You are training in 35-degree (Celsius) then it's Denver & the altitude & its really cold. I think its a massive risk. That is something we can fix in the future."

Mauricio Pochettino on Christian Pulisic's injury in post-game presser:

"He felt something in his hamstring. Tonight we will assess & tomorrow he will fly to Italy. We can’t say anything at the moment."

Like hair styles, playing styles in soccer eventually revert back to a previous time.

That's how Rafa Benitez looks at it from a data and analytics perspective as he studies the game away from coaching.

Rafa Benitez presented at the Aspire Academy Global Summit today at Subaru Park in Chester, PA

He's been analyzing the game while away from coaching & put a focus on high press & building from the back.

I spoke to him afterward. Listen👇

This is VERY disappointing from Austin FC coach Nico Estevez.

Blaming the referees for the US Open Cup loss but compounding it with "we're used to a different kind of referee."

For the first time, 3 women marshaled the Cup final.

Tori Penso, Brooke Mayo & Kathryn Nesbitt.

That golazo that Brian Gutierrez scored at #InterMiamiCF to clinch Chicago's 1st #MLS playoff since '17 had meaning to him personally.

Gutierrez was a supporter before signing as a homegrown.

This clip from our chat in preseason for SiriusXM FC.
