Hyped to have this Riveters/Steel City piece on the cover of the @pghcitypaper.com this week! It's a huge moment for women's soccer and soccer in the city of Pittsburgh. The potential is here to turn this opportunity into something bigger, I hope everyone takes it!

Yeah, I just don't get it. And not to pick on MLS or MLSNP either - Sporting Cascades and Greenville Triumph also just recently dropped garbage AI slop renderings. It's just shitty everywhere it's used.

Great to see the newest MLS Next Pro expansion club already leaning into garbage AI slop 🙄 Surely a good sign when you can't even bother to get an artist to do a rendering.

Steelers and Colts at the top of the AFC after six weeks. Just as we all predicted.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 1d

Really? That's interesting

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 1d

And it is almost certainly Golden City FC - who are publicly known to be kicking off in 2026/27 in MLSNP, but have not yet been announced.

Next Pro News @nextpronews.bsky.social · 1d

👀 There will be another “Special Announcement” tomorrow at 11am EST..

These “Special Announcement” events have been specifically for formal expansion announcements to date.

NISA gonna NISA.

Modesto City has abandoned the match at halftime. NoCo Hailstorm playing an intrasquad scrimmage instead.

NISA continues to come up with unique ways to end matches.

Lmao that's CRAZY!

The Steelers have the largest divisional lead in the NFL after six weeks. Just like we all predicted.

Fulltime - Steel City FC 3-2 FCY New York. The hosts hold on and take a hard-fought win and secure advancement to the 3rd round of 2026 USOC qualifying!

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

90' - Corner after corner for FCY New York here as they desperately seek an equalizer, but the Steel City defense is coming up huge so far. Can they hold on for 5-6 minutes of stoppage time?

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

87' - A dangerous free kick here for FCY New York, centrally at the top of the 18-yard box, surely going to be taken direct at this stage. It's ripped towards goal and on-target, brilliantly taken, but brilliantly saved by Watson once again to keep it level!

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

Additionally, several yellow cards distributed for the pushing and shoving between the call and take - two to FCY New York players, one to Rami Bensasi for Steel City.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

82' - GOAL, Steel City FC! Cameron Territo steps up to take it again and his initial effort is saved, but parried right back to him and he slots the rebound in easily. The hosts regain their lead, 3-2, with under ten to play.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

78' - Penalty! Steel City's Donrick Richards beats his man on the right wing and is swiped down from behind. The hosts will have a chance to take the lead after the refs handle discipline with some pushing and shoving.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

74' - A free kick from near the corner coming for Steel City, and they'll effectively take it as one. It swings well over everyone, gets headed back across, but a great grab from the FCY New York keeper ends the danger.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

69' - And the mistake comes back to bite Steel City FC! The in-swinging corner is headed home by Witman Hernandez to equalize for FCY New York! This one is far from over folks!

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

68' - Whew, dangerous backpass there from the Steel City defense is luckily out for only an FCY New York corner. Fortunate escape from a self-inflicted mistake for Steel City.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

64' - A quick counter and now it's FCY New York with a corner as they seek an equalizer, but Watson is quick off his line to claim it.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

62' - Steel City seeking to answer back quickly, as a deflected shot is put out for a corner. Taken in-swinging centrally, but punched away and eventually cleared.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

58' - Penalty for FCY New York as the runner is dragged down in the box. Ali Alomari steps up and slots it top-bins to Garret Watson's right to pull one back for FCY New York, it's a 2-1 Steel City lead.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

57' - A gentle chip from Nick Niebauer clears the keeper, but also clears the crossbar despite a little roar from the crowd.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

50' - A massive save from Garret Watson at point-blank range as he's able to tip a surefire goal over the bar! A tremendous job for the veteran goalkeeper!

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

46' - We're back underway with the second half, Steel City holding their 2-0 lead as we kickoff the second 45 minutes.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

Halftime - Steel City took an early lead just a few minutes in, and then doubled it with a later penalty, to bring a 2-0 lead into the break. Both teams pressing aggressively for more goals, and it won't be comfortable.

CJ Coreschi @cjcoreschi.bsky.social · 2d

44' - A shot on-target from Nick Niebauer, who has been all over the place this first half, but this time handled easily by the FCY New York keeper.
