On November 4, USL Championship club North Carolina FC announced it would shut down operations at the end of the season - just four days before a crucial playoff game.
I talked to some of the players about the human cost of seeing your team fold

An MLS weekend recap, featuring an over-intellectualization of Sam Sarver being a bit of a sh*thouse.

The Philly Union were really bad. Then Ryan Richter took over and now they’re cup contenders.
Talked to him about how (with some intriguing Cavan Sullivan chat):

Talked to the quite remarkable United States Cerebral Palsy men's and women's teams, who are equal parts inspiring and very, very good at soccer.
The U.S. can win two World Cups in the next 2 weeks. Here are the players and coaches who might just do it.

Aaaaaand a week later, they now hold the record for longest unbeaten run in MLS history (21 games)
St. Louis CITY were among the worst teams in MLS. Then, they lost their best player.
Less than three months later, they're on the verge of a record undefeated streak and have a real chance of winning the Western Conference.
How? Well...

New England and its 5 main USL clubs have figured out how to get lower league soccer right. How? Well, it’s a mixture of direct democracy, pretty badges and a replica of a statue of Eusebio, designed by a man from Massachusetts in 1992.

MLS commissioner Don Garber says the league won't investigate NYCFC's owners over Man City's Premier League financial violations guilty verdict.
“We’re not in the business of looking [at] what our team owners do in other leagues."

Everyone knows Neil Pierre is tall.
Did you know he DJs? That he practices celebrating his set-piece goals? That Mauricio Pochettino thinks he can be a model?
I spoke to the #DOOP and #USMNT star about how his rise is about more than just his height.

Just wrote a story about USL that includes a reference to Portuguese explorers, Eusebio, and a Reggae Festival held in Pawtucket.
Sorry in advance, @LabidouA
MLS thoughts, including being (very) wrong about Luis Suarez, Andre Luiz getting zero help despite being (maybe) the second best player in the league, and St. Louis doing the thing

This is where numbers get misleading. Freeman falls asleep. Diomande scores. Villarreal lose 1-0.
BUT the data will tell you that Freeman was MOTM in a game that included Mbappe, Bellingham, etc.
Would suggest that in this sport, multiple things can be true.

"Red Bull, Feind des Fußballs"
RB Leipzig are not what German football is traditionally about. But do their fans, who just want a football team to support, have to care? I asked.
