After an early golazo, Pumas hoped for a straight-forward win Saturday to extend their season. Instead, they got a game with PLENTY of action, but still clawed their way into the postseason.

More from the final weekend of Liga MX:

It is currently 88F & humid in multiple cities where this same region will have World Cup qualifiers this week.

Brutal for the KC Current, who were SO good during the regular season.

Think you just have to see the playoff elimination as a wild outlier, try to run it back & prioritize CCC once that gets rolling.

Liguilla looking TASTY:
🚂 Cruz Azul - Chivas 🐐
🦅 América - Rayados 🤠

😈 Toluca, 🐯 Tigres await play-in.

Xolos-Juárez, Pachuca-Pumas the current matches but Pachuca could hop into that other game w. a result tomorrow.

More here Monday! Getconcacafed.substack.com/welcome

Pumas fight back from a goal down to take a 3-2 lead on a late goal that would keep their season alive.

Now they’ve got to defend for 5+ minutes to secure that play-in place.

On the one hand, I love college football.

On the other, a life without this Terry Crews Dodge commercial is possible.

Nothing says momentum like going dark for two years.
Sources: North Carolina FC has applied for membership to USL's new D1 league, which is set to start in 2028.

NCFC's USL membership expires after this season. So club's plan is to wait to return until D1 league starts (with pro/rel).

No guarantee they get membership, but that's the plan
BREAKING: USL Championship side North Carolina FC informs players they will not be fielding a team in 2026, per sources.

NCFC have a playoff game on Saturday. Sources expect club will finish playoff run.

Players with contracts now end after two months.

Cristian Roldan is back.

Well, if he ever left.

I talked to the @soundersfc.com midfielder about his #USMNT return (and THAT Pochettino comment), the lessons he's learned from a wild 2025 & how he hopes to extend the year past this round of the playoffs.

Watching the Clásico Regio this weekend, I kept thinking...could this present be prologue?

On the potential of another Rayados-Tigres meeting PLUS more from Liga MX, Central America and the Caribbean!

Loved this video tour of Guadalajara from my guy @jonarnoldfc.bsky.social. Had the pleasure of hitting several of these spots with him last year when the #USMNT played there.

FaceTime me and I'll turn the camera around and do some commentary.
In Canada: you can catch these big LigaMX games on channels nowhere and on zero streaming services.
Every week I run down the three best matches of the Liga MX weekend & let you know where you can watch. It's posted pretty much anywhere you're already watching vertical videos!

This is crushing. Decades of cool uniform stuff nobody else covered, gone

I remember thinking the internet would be better at preserving work than the pre-digital age, and it feels increasingly clear the opposite is true

The KINGS OF THE CENTROAMERICANA strike again. Facing elimination, Alajuelense just found an equalizer thanks to Anthony Hernandez.

20 minutes left in this one streaming on YouTube.

Palmeiras rallied to win 4-0 tonight over LDU Quito after losing the first leg 3-0.

Libertadores final is once again Flamengo v. Palmeiras & there will be a Brazilian champion for the seventh consecutive tournament.
