Due to EVENTS, there are things I miss about soccer — namely the performance, observance and existence of it. Alas, there’s not going to be any soccer for a while, and that’s for the best. The virus doesn’t move, we move it, so it’s time to stop moving.

Liga MX Is Now More Popular Than The NFL — Deal With It

All across the country, Saturday-morning rituals have been interrupted. There’s no waking up with Rebecca Lowe and NBCSN’s Premier League coverage, no flipping the channel to see what’s going on in the Bundesliga, no Serie A to play on your ESPN+ app and no searching for beIN SPORTS to check in on LaLiga. 

During a time of year when basketball dominates the airwaves, we don’t even have college and pro hoops to tide us over. No hockey to rediscover our love for. No baseball to look forward to. No NFL offseason news to ignore.

Relive The Most Exciting USMNT Opening World Cup Game Of All Time

The U.S. vs. Portugal at the 2002 World Cup was one of the best games in men's national team history. With all this talk about the coronavirus crippling the economy and, more importantly, my soccer TV viewing schedule, I figured we could all use a little pick-me-up to get us through the rest of the week.

This game has to be the second most exhilarating game in USMNT history, at least of recent (maybe not so recent) memory. 

Why The NWSL’s Landmark TV Deal With CBS Is Both Good And Bad News

The National Women’s Soccer League is finally going to get the national exposure it deserves.

After weeks of rumors and reports, the NWSL announced on Wednesday landmark media rights agreements with CBS and Twitch to be the new broadcast partners for the league, which begins its eighth season on April 18.

Tim Howard Has Day To Forget On First Game Back From Retirement

The anticipation and excitement surrounding Tim Howard’s return to soccer was met with a four-goal bashing in Memphis on Saturday night.

Earlier in the week, Memphis 901 FC announced that Howard was coming out of retirement and the club’s part-owner would be starting in goal for the team’s home opener. It turned out to be a return to forget as visiting Indy Eleven scorched Memphis, netting four goals past the former USMNT great.

Sebastian Lletget Says Playing With Zlatan Sucked

Having one of the world’s best players on your team isn’t always the best. LA Galaxy midfielder Sebastian Lletget has opened up on what it was like having Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a teammate. If Zlatan was on Yelp then Lletget would be giving the Swede a similar rating to what most people rate Carl’s Jr.

This was back when the new millennium was still trying to find its way, there was this whole Internet thing, nobody knew what it really was, we were all a bunch of tadpoles aimlessly wandering around in our own way.
