It actually just hit me that his mystery stuff (Brick, Knives Out, Glass Onion, Pokerface) Johnson is still better at actual "mystery box" drama than Abrams is. Because he understands that investment in the mystery comes from the characters, *not* the puzzle pieces.
I do think the HIRE JESSE MARSCH stuff from US fans is kind of funny. Would he be an improvement over Berhalter? Possibly, but he's not even close to a proven commodity: less than ten games as an international HC and a pretty mediocre record at the club level. We'll see though.
If I was in charge of US Soccer, I’d aim to get a middle school soccer program in every public school. Community fields and (free!) coach training initiatives in every urban center.
I do feel like a huge contingent of American soccer fans have zero clue that progress is being made here. Are rich kids still paying to play? Absolutely. But there’s also a crapton more kids playing for free now than there were two decades ago.
It’s understandable to be pissed about senior USMNT stuff. But it’s not always a referendum on American soccer. What you see at the senior level is the trailing edge of past work. Not the bleeding edge of progress.

All three hosts of the 2026 World Cup are in real danger of not advancing from group in Copa. (Chile playing with 10 tonight definitely helps Canada’s chances.)
Well anyway this would be a perfect opportunity for USSf to say “oopsie, we made a mistake” and make a hard reset like they should have done a year ago. There’s plenty of time before the WC.
This salsa came out amazing. Fresh tomatoes from the garden, jalapeño and serrano for heat, onion and cilantro, lemon, lime, cumin, garlic, and a couple of secret ingredients.
