Okay we won't know what specific stadium teams are playing in on Saturday but there are some groups you don't want to be in on Friday's draw: C, E, F, H, I & J. Those groups are the ones where there's a First v Second match up in the Round of 32. Other Groups it's 1st v 3rd & 2nd v 2nd #2026WorldCup

Feels like this is the first time we haven’t known all of this pre-draw. I might be wrong but typically pre draw isn’t all this assigned to the various positions in the group?
Following the World Cup draw Friday to determine groups, FIFA will reveal match venues and kickoff times Saturday at noon ET on its website and YouTube channel.

So many great people, and I’ve had some amazing opportunities thanks to what I’ve done covering USL. Everyone deserves more, it’s a hard gig. I didn’t do as much this year, life has been horrible in 2025 (if you don’t know what’s happened I’ll let you know)
Although mostly grassroots, there's incredible working being done by USL content creators all over. This is a call to make a concerted effort daily to watch vids, read articles, like and repost social media. Help these creators feel seen and appreciated! So many are doing the Lord's work!

I think the other thing this has done is made me think more about what does pro rel mean for the players, and if the players have real concerns, maybe we should?

The league withheld the materials from the USL Championship trophy celebration in retaliation for the players walking out in their USLPA shirts along with cutting out broadcast angles with that message.

It’s just looking more and more likely that 2026 is going to at least have a lock out if not a scab league.

The move from USL here is absolutely wild. All it’s done is drawn MORE attention to the PA and their statement than just ignoring it. They’re usually more savvy than this.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Last night @davidpocock.bsky.social and I read onto the Hansard an interview by the President of Nauru that the Albanese Government has been desperately trying to keep secret.
It shows Nauru plans to send refugees to places they fled. No wonder the secrecy.
